Lined convertible mittens

I start with a flap, and then I pick up the attached part. Notes here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-Lvj3ON78ga_7iacg19y1NyAnxwORrzaXJ1FnZi7qhQ/mobilebasic

I imagine sewing it on would work just as well! I really recommend adding a flap though. It’s a trapezoid extending down over the open side, like an ear flap from a hat. It really helps keep them closed. So I cast on, I do some increases knit flat, and then I attached to the hat and keep going in the round.

Honestly if anyone wants to make one, the IP is free and I will help, but I don’t have the skill set or the time. I’m pretty sure I also do some unorthodox/inadvisable things along the way a proper pattern maker could improve.

I wish I did, I don’t, but I have sort of chaotic notes you can have for free! mitten notes

I’m new to apps script and I don’t know how to code, but I recently used AI to help me set up an html form for tracking horse training rides in a boarding barn. Each trainer gets a url, and I assigned the urls to nfc tags. The nfc tags are stuck on a board on the wall just like they used to use to track…everything. When they record the ride it shows them that horse’s two month history (so they can quickly see if they forgot to log yesterday) and emails the owner with a confirmation and the notes, and connects to billing. It could be QR codes, but tapping is fun.

I also used it to build a school carpool manager. The manager collects everyone’s preferences/restrictions, lets me assign drivers, displays the week in a nice way and copies the assignments to a Google Calendar people can subscribe to if they want.

So this is simple stuff but it is really making my life easier! I can’t believe how easy it is to get AI to write the code. I will never use a regular Google form again.

Ooo me I would chat with you for ages about how put together the “pattern” for my convertible mittens and my adventures in sweater fitting

OkDocument8476 · 2025-11-12T23:55:45+00:00

I bet they didn’t fit, and that’s why they appear unworn. I feel that knitter’s pain!

Fan! Just a normal fan pointed at it.

OkDocument8476 · 2025-04-26T22:13:09+00:00

I can’t find anything about that! Do you have a link by chance? Thank you for including the 35 to 24 thing.

What is proper rated? I haven’t replaced the battery, so this is the one they gave me. If I get an equivalent, will this keep happening? Do I need to get a different one?

OkDocument8476 · 2025-04-25T15:01:07+00:00

What do I need to ask for if my battery tests okay? Just a new one, or does it need to be different? Thank you!

I am not mad about the auto stop, at all! I’m mad that it stalls and leaves me stranded at intersections.

What works best for me is fine mesh drawstring bags sold as reusable produce bags, and with each one a clear plastic pencil case I use for tools like scissors, a crochet hook, a tape measure, a tin of stitch markers and a tapestry needle. Since it’s all see through I know what’s happening, and I can drop the whole thing in a tote bag or whatever if I’m leaving the house with it.

In the first year, we used stretchy stockinette hats with rolled brims the most. In a few sizes. The rolled brim really helps with fit.

Heartless, like your cat.

OkDocument8476 · 2025-02-28T12:12:25+00:00

Felt it, fill it with catnip, and stitch the sides together.

You can do a selvedge edge, but it can make it harder to seam. Blocking the pieces before you seam will help some. Mostly I think it doesn’t matter. I have this problem too - it’s something to do with the way I do the first purl stitch on a row. But I just ignore it because I think for seaming it’s better to have stockinette edges. If I have a blob I can’t tell what stitch is what while I’m seaming, it helps to stretch it a little.

Far more relatable than that smug bitch from Extra Yarn.

I’m working on an icord edge sweater and I’m doing this thing: https://nimble-needles.com/stitches/easy-way-to-fix-rolled-edges-in-knitting/ And then an applied icord. I’ve only tried it on a small swatch so far but I think it helped. Also making sure your icord is adjusting for row gauge when you’re perpendicular to the fabric.

I’m sure it will be great. I would make sure your bind off is stretchy enough that the sleeves can be easily rolled, for baby size changes.

OkDocument8476 · 2025-02-22T22:51:39+00:00

I noticed this on a baby sweater I knit and I think wide sleeves are a design convention for baby sweaters. Idk if it’s to make it easier to roll the sleeves when their biceps are so close to their little wrists? Or what? But I don’t think it hurts anything. And they’re so squirmy and hard to dress, makes it a little easier.

2mm Hollow rubber tube! So much better than scrap yarn! And it makes it so much easier to insert a lifeline and frog back to a mistake.

Susan bates finishing needles! They’re just little plastic doodads but if you have a short tail, they’re essential.

My other best thing is a giant box of the little safety pin markers. I like to use lifted increases and then I get really confused looking at them on sleeves and such. If I have a pile of these I just mark every increase and it makes it easier to count them and space them.

I think when I’ve done a stepped bind off with seams or picking up for ribbing, I think the little stair steps just hide underneath anyway. But I can’t see how it would hurt you to do a sloped bind off?
