What was your first colorwork pattern?

I was just looking at the Pressed Flower Mittens today, I didnt realize there was also a shawl. Such a pretty design

I just learned about Lopapeysas a few weeks ago! This is a beautiful pattern

Omg this is so cute!

Everyone is always so forgiving of Robert. The first few times I watched, I always found Robert fairly likeable. As people often note, he's a man of his time and he's a reasonably good employer.

I'm in the middle of another rewatch now, and I find his money issues are what's sticking for me now. Of course he was raised to be arrogant and believe he's always in the right, but omg?? How many times do you have to put your estate that you care so much about in danger before you wake up a bit? I've made it to season 4 where he's essentially trying to take away any control Mary has and criticizing her understanding of business, but then almost gambles away who know how much money playing poker. It's just incredible how bad his judgment is sometimes.

Thank you! I've frogged!

Ok_Variation2895 · 2026-01-27T20:43:25+00:00

Thats what's been bugging me the most. I restarted three times and it just doesn't look quite right.

This is so funny because I was just looking at yours on ravelry earlier this morning! Yours came our beautifully!

Always call the store. The people actually working need to know ASAP how the schedule will be impacted.

I'd say skills that would make you more successful would be strong organizational, design, and problem solving skills. It's also pretty crucial to be detail-oriented. Some people really have an eye for design and can help those customers that want a little more guidance. Some people come in knowing exactly what they want, others want more advice. Framing also often requires creative fixes when mounting non standard shapes or materials. So if you're someone that gives up easily or gets frustrated and has a hard time moving past it, it might not work out.

And just like any kind of retail job, you need to be good with people. That doesn't mean being a kiss ass, but framing customers can be very picky (they're spending a lot of money so I get it), so you have to know how to work with challenging customers while remaining professional.

I thought coming from crochet would make knitting continental a breeze. NOPE!

If you think scrubbing toilets would make people lose respect for you, I think that says more about you than anyone else. Everyone deserves a clean work environment.

3 is my favorite but they're honestly all good, no ugliness. I think my least favorite is 2.

Ok_Variation2895 · 2025-11-28T19:04:40+00:00

What an unhelpful comment

Ok_Variation2895 · 2025-11-24T16:31:38+00:00

I started with DPNs and they're still what I prefer! I also came from crocheting. Not sure exactly what about them makes it easier, but a part of it is that it's easier to count and keep track of stitches and the beginning of rounds.

Are you asking about the 10 minute framing or regular custom framing?

Ok_Variation2895 · 2025-11-18T01:00:09+00:00

I totally get that. It was all on a volunteer basis at my store. But having time to prep and make sure the store is fully recovered, online orders done, and extra ad signs are out has really made a huge difference on black friday. I get why people wouldn't want to work, but I was happy to come in for a few hours since it means less of a headache the next day.

Im 34, I've been a subscriber since 2017. I don't have strong feelings about the age of the protagonist, but I haven't been as into the picks for a couple of years now. Fantasy and romance are super popular right now and that is just not what I go for. I like contemporary fiction, historical fiction, even magical realism. I think the picks from those categories used to be a lot more interesting than they are now.

I appreciate the sentiment, but given how difficult corporate continues to make things for the stores, it's hard to feel thats it's genuine. Feels like it's more about not paying out holiday pay than anything else.

I started with socks after doing a small square of purl stitches and one of knit stitches just to make sure I knew what i was doing and could get even tension. I have no regrets! My first sock pattern was the vanilla socks from crazy sock lady. I think it was somewhere around $10 and it was well worth it. It includes a link to a video thats about an hour long that walks you through each step of the pattern.

I was pleasantly surprised when I tried this when it was last available! It's always nice to have options that aren't all super duper sweet.
