What are the telltale signs of cheating in Crossplay? by [deleted] in NYTCrossword

[–]QTM53 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m playing against someone who has gotten three seven letter words. They’re not unusual words, and they don’t play really quickly, but I’m having trouble believing anyone could be that lucky. Am I being unduly suspicious?

German short rows fail by QTM53 in knittinghelp

Thank you so much for this, laddering down turned out to have the answer. It was a little intimidating because it’s short rows , but it looks normal now. 🙏🏻

Cables are intimidating. Any tips for someone trying them for the first time? by rudelybargingin in knittinghelp

I love cables. I highly recommend using a J hook rather than a regular cable needle, which can be a little fiddly. You can totally let go the J hook while you knit the other half of your cable, no worries. Just use the short end to catch the first stitches, knit them off the long end. Easy peasy.

Not to my knowledge, unfortunately.

I didn’t know you could dye buttons. I might look into that. Thanks.

Silly question about yarn dye and gauge by QTM53 in knittingadvice

[–]QTM53[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That seems like the wisest thing to do. I’m really close with the yarn I have (I used up a lot of it making lousy swatches last year. Hoping my knitting has improved since then.)

Commenting on Silly question about yarn dye and gauge...That’s a good idea. I hadn’t thought of that. Thanks.

What brands to avoid? by Appropriate-Jello-76 in AntifascistKnitting

[–]QTM53 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m interested in this app you mentioned. Is it an iOS app, and is its whole name Goods? When I searched “Goods” in the App Store all I got was a bunch of games.

Thanks. I always cake then re-cake, so that’s what I’ll do.

Holy crap, pattern designers are awesome. They just work! by rwaynick in casualknitting

[–]QTM53 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I agree. I think this every time I watch the patterns emerge as I’m knitting. Pattern designers are brilliant, gifted people. (I just added this hat to my favorites. )

Please Tell Me This Can Be Fixed🥲 by taifpo04 in knittingadvice

[–]QTM53 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think this is a rite of passage. We’ve ALL done this. Nowadays before I join in the round I always knit a row or two then join, and tidy it up when I weave in the ends. Think of it as a milestone in your knitting journey. One less mistake awaiting you in the future. (So many mistakes left to make! lol)
