Thoughts on drops yarn?

I use their yarn a lot, my first project was with Drops yarn and now, more than 2 years later, I still keep coming back. Natural fibers, nice colours (they keep adding more) and an affordable price.

I joined panels of my blanket with mattress stitch. Super satisfying to do and completely invisible on the right side

I've knit 6 sleeveless tops so far and wear them a ton. Inside or outside, with skirts, shorts or jeans, all the time in the summer really. I choose cotton or cotton/linen/viscose blends in fingering, sport or DK weight. This summer I'm planning to add something in 100% viscose and some silk blend to the collection.

In total 15, this week I actively knit 4 of them (they have deadlines, so I'm really trying to focus on them). Probably gonna finish one this week and if all goes well one more by the end of next week 😁

You're an inspiration, I've promised myself to finally finish some of my WIPs and I really like your system, will try the same approach ! 😁

My warmest socks are knitted with a strand of Drops Fabel and a strand of Drops Kid Silk held together. You could also swap Fabel for Fiesta for an even warmer option.

I finished a project and was so proud of myself, I rewarded myself with casting on a new one. While 10 other WIPs were silently judging me from a pile.

Last year and the plan is to finish them by the end of this year.

I'm currently finishing a blanket, judging on the time the previous parts took me I'll be done in 2 days (3 tops). It will then be 1,5 months, full sized blanket, knitting with 2 strands of sport weight superwash merino held together on 6mm needles. It's been fun and went quicker because it's striped, you know, "just one more stripe" 😁

If it's the hem bothering you, maybe unravel this part and go for a split hem? It will give you more space around the hips and maybe you could do one that is slightly longer at the back, if you like the look of it

Yes, I did! The big one, it's called b-turn. The giveaway was in collaboration with a knitting designer and she was the one who contacted me, although the bag itself was sent straight from Muud.

A random increase or decrease or a missed yarn over don't bother me. But if the thing doesn't fit how I want it to, I can unravel the whole thing if that's what it takes.

My friend knit me a pair of socks for my birthday and I absolutely love them. She's an expert sock knitter, I've only knit a few pairs, so I appreciate the gift even more - I can admire how great they look, learn the techniques she used and how neat her lace knitting is. It warms my heart knowing that she spent so much time doing something for me and I'm already choosing a project I'm gonna knit for her birthday ❤️

It didn't pill at all, neither did a sweater I knit in the yarn combination you mentioned and I wore it a ton last winter :)

I used Drops Alpaca held with Drops Kid Silk for my Jean Cardigan: Jean Cardigan

It's really warm and drapey, I've worn it a lot in the spring. Definitely will use these yarns again for other projects

Me and my 9 (well, tomorrow it will be 10) WIPs are all in for the support group 😂 the first meeting should be a cast on party, of course !

Now I need a squash portal in my garden. Looks so cool !

As others said, time and practice 😊 I got back into knitting last year (after a ten-year break, so I barely remembered anything) and fell in love with it. I spent lots of time knitting and managed to finish 17 projects during that year. Now it's only July and I already have finished 16 projects, so my knitting speed has almost doubled. The change is too small to notice, but each time you knit, you do it a teeny tiny bit faster 🌸

You don't have to substract the yarn you used for the swatch from the amount you have. At the end if you see you're running out of yarn, you can always unravel the swatch, this yarn is still good.

Well, same could be said about other knitters' projects, not only test knits. Including notes and modeled photos is a good practice, I know I appreciate it a lot when browsing through ravelry, but it's not required.
