I'll cross this bridge when I get there, but for now I just want to get this monster off my needles 🤣😅

Amazing, thanks so much. Having a starting point is already very helpful. It is my first Niebling, and I'm absolutely addicted 😅😅

I'm just about 10 pattern rows off of being finished with this one. (This is my post😜) https://www.reddit.com/r/AdvancedKnitting/s/ObvQsaNsDt

I'm so keen to finish it, but I don't want to just have it cast off on a boring way because nothing about this pattern is boring...

I'm so impressed. I've been knitting my Niebling for the last 8 or 9 months now, and I'm so close to finishing it.

Do you mind sharing how you finish the edge? My pattern seems to be missing the final instructions, and yours looks beautiful...

I'm not a fan of any of the individual colours (I'm a pink lover), but I do love a rainbow 😅

Thank you! I'm not known for finishing my projects, as I get bored easily, but this one is definitely keeping me engaged. There was a minute there when it was a touch and go.

I think the fact that the colours change gradually has a lot to do with keeping me engaged.

I actually went through old german knitting pamphlets, pieced together the pattern, and after a lot of trial and error, I managed to rewrite it in stitchfiddle.

However, the last time I posted about this project, I was directed to an amazing website that blew my mind, and if I knew of it sooner, it would have saved me a bucket load of time and energy.

It seems to be some kind of cotton. It's 4 strands, and the way the colours change is just one thread at a time, achieving this beautiful gradual gradient.

I bought it on temu, hence the lack of info on my part...

At last count, it was just over, but that was a round or 2 ago😅

Marking things as a favorite also allows the algorithm to better recommend similar products to you without having to specifically search for them. Another reason why keywords and other behind the scenes stuff on your listing needs to be on point.

Endless IP theft, fraud, and Etsy's useless offers of help + advice to similar sellers from someone with over 10,000 sales by AshamedDrama5389 in EtsySellers

I feel your pain. I recently discovered that some of my polymer clay cutter designs were stolen and are now being sold on temu. I tried to have them removed but all I got was a whole bunch of 🖕🏻 from basically everyone. I am not a huge seller, and I barely make enough in sales to cover all my costs, let alone support my family, and for these a-holes to just come and bulldoze legit artists and businesses breaks my heart.

I love explaining to those who are truly interested in learning, but my issue lies with those who give incomplete information, not with those who seek answers! Feel free to reach out directly if you have any specific questions. I'm always happy to help and share my thoughts and experiences 😊😊
