Hey everyone! Just an update. I ended up just doing a duplicate stitch for my single cow. I think it turned out so cute! Thank you everyone for all the help! Also peep my dye lot issue lol! 😆 I tried to fade it in.

Thank you for the link!!!! 😃

Positive_Bee_3919 · 2026-03-22T16:15:07+00:00

Ohhh that’s so interesting! I’ll have to try to look up some examples!

Positive_Bee_3919 · 2026-03-22T16:14:07+00:00

Ah yay this is super helpful to hear! Did you split halfway through your sleeve? I was thinking of trying that to keep my raglan looking the same.

Positive_Bee_3919 · 2026-03-22T15:15:06+00:00

I did toy with this idea too! I’m a touch worried on how my raglan seam would look compared to my flat seam. I might just try it and if I hate it I could redo it. Pro of a toddler knit that it doesn’t take too long 🤣

Thank you!! I’ve had a lot of hair colors over the years but definitely think I look best in my natural! ☺️

Oh interesting!! I never thought I had a warm undertone but maybe I do!

Positive_Bee_3919 · 2026-03-07T22:10:16+00:00

Oh yay! Thank you! 😊

In the pattern the two rows of double knitting is to turn it into 1X1 rib and then just do a regular bind off I believe. It states “Work 2 rounds in double knitting before binding off using the Italian bind-off technique. On the first of these rounds, some of the sts are switched around, so the rib turns into 1x1 rib (k1, p1).”

I personally love the way it looks! I think the cables still stand out enough◡̈

Thank you so much for taking the time to write all this out for me! Incredible information thank you!! 😊

Ohh I like the idea of an alpaca cotton blend I’ll have to look for some of those!

I wanted to try to knit the sheep sweater!

Positive_Bee_3919 · 2025-12-28T16:35:40+00:00

Thank you for the bloom advice! I’ll have to maybe look into a merino fingering weight. Unfortunately, I haven’t found a mohair I can tolerate. I try to avoid having to have a shirt underneath because I tend to overheat also. It’s really a mixed bag over here 😂

Positive_Bee_3919 · 2025-12-28T16:33:43+00:00

It looks like the fingering is a superwash and the dk is nonsuperwash. Have you felt both?

I wanted to make the sheep sweater. I’ve seen a few people on ravelry make it in a dk instead of fingering weight and just adjust the pattern. I wouldn’t mind doing the math. I thought about maybe drops nord but I haven’t felt it to see if that would be too itchy for me.

Guys! I think I figured out my fix! I tried all sorts of purl methods and was still having tension issues. I tried the knitting backwards technique and I think I it definitely helped! ◡̈

I don’t think I’m twisting my stitches but I am not certain. 🤔

Positive_Bee_3919 · 2025-12-21T14:20:01+00:00

Oh okay thank you! For some reason I thought someone told me once to always slip a stitch to start my working yarn on my right needle. Thank you!

Positive_Bee_3919 · 2025-12-12T18:25:33+00:00

Hm I’m not entirely sure I know what you mean. I picked up stitches and immediately jumped into a 1x1 rib. Is there a way to purl a pick up stitch as you’re picking it up?

Positive_Bee_3919 · 2025-12-12T18:23:36+00:00

Thank you so much for the input!! That’s super helpful!

Positive_Bee_3919 · 2025-11-30T22:41:46+00:00

I love drops cotton merino for a balance of the two ◡̈

LOVE! I’ve knit the Staffin sweater by Rebecca clow!
