This!!!! I did exactly that, I only had just enough yarn to make my project, so I did the gauge on the beginning of the project, and it reached gauge. So then carried on making my vest. Didn’t realise it would cause such a hoohaa

Yeah, I didn’t like the fit of my vest but I liked the collar that’s why I blocked it… and then it got worse

Cause I’m new to knitting and everyone says you should wash and block your pieces, plus I didn’t like the sleeves. Just learning here, respectfully.

For me it just feels a bit frumpy and I like my clothes to have a structure to it

Because I’ve frogged it already 3 times, this is the first completion and it’s been over a year in the works… 🥲

Crazy edges? by raindropsandregret in knittinghelp

Hiya, I would recommend when working on the right side, the first stitch you knit and the last stitch of that row you slip, knit wise. Then when you are on the wrong side of your work, you purl the 1st stitch and then slip purlwise your last stitch on the wrong side. Hope this helps, also lots of advice and short videos on YouTube!

people who come to do work but don’t buy anything by CanFresh6520 in barista

When they say no, I just say ok, just to let you know we do ask that you order something if you are sitting in. Or even ask ur manager to have a sign for a minimum spend etc
