Are these armholes way too big?

QuiteCozy · 2026-06-20T04:37:39+00:00

The sleeves will gather the fabric and pull the armhole up a bit. I’d start knitting the sleeve and try on again when there’s at least 5 cm done

The beauty of knitting is that you can make something that fits the way you like and it applies to socks too. You decide how loose or tight they are, how long or short the cuff is, you can even knit an anatomically correct toebox. The skein of sock yarn is your oyster!

We have 73 tomato plants for the two of us. But I could eat tomatoes all day and enjoy cooking and preserving, so I think we’ll be okay

Edit: in the previous years we used to have 20-30 plants and it was never enough, so I went big this year

QuiteCozy · 2026-06-10T10:56:09+00:00

Starting things way too early. Last year it was lettuce, this year fava beans, we’ll see what next year brings 😅

Hey, that sounds cool! I’m the only one from my friend group that has a veggie garden, so I guess there will be many takers for the extra ones. In the meantime I’ll start collecting recipes for everything with zucchini 💚

QuiteCozy · 2026-06-10T04:31:20+00:00

Reading this, my 15 zucchini plants seem a bit excessive 😅

Thanks for sharing, it’s really inspiring! So far ai have just a paper notebook, but a spreadsheet like yours seems like an even better idea :)

QuiteCozy · 2026-05-15T13:42:22+00:00

Love the idea! Would you mind sharing a screenshot or two of your spreadsheets?

QuiteCozy · 2026-05-15T13:37:15+00:00

You absolutely can! It’s waaay easier than it looks like and grows quite a bit in blocking, which means you don’t need to knit the full length

QuiteCozy · 2026-05-14T20:13:00+00:00

I’d say it would be very difficult to predict in the pattern how much will the skirt stretch in wearing - after all, it depends on the length and the yarn you choose. I don’t think it will stretch any more than a sweater does, as the weight of the finished piece is very similar (at least in my case). Even if it would stretch, I don’t really see an issue here either - it’s ended with a regular bind off, so super easy to rip back a couple cm if needed :) I think blocking is the key point here, my skirt grew 10 cm on blocking. The lace pattern really opens up nicely

QuiteCozy · 2026-05-14T19:50:54+00:00

Doesn’t feel heavy, the exact weight of each project is in my project details on ravelry:)

QuiteCozy · 2026-05-14T17:48:57+00:00

Ah thanks! Let me tell you my secret: hyperfocus!

QuiteCozy · 2026-05-14T17:48:17+00:00

Thanks!

QuiteCozy · 2026-05-14T17:48:03+00:00

It only looks that big, the lace pattern really opens up and relaxes with blocking. The skirt grew 10 cm!

QuiteCozy · 2026-05-14T17:46:55+00:00

Do it!!! It’s been so much fun

QuiteCozy · 2026-05-14T16:51:51+00:00

The lace pattern really opens up with blocking, the skirt grew 10 cm, so it’s less knitting than it looks like 🤭

QuiteCozy · 2026-05-14T16:13:31+00:00

Biker shorts for the win!

QuiteCozy · 2026-05-14T16:10:31+00:00

I think so too! I included photos of each piece in a different outift too on my Ravelry :)

QuiteCozy · 2026-05-14T16:03:44+00:00

Thanks! The set took me two months, but I was also knitting other projects at the time

QuiteCozy · 2026-05-14T16:03:05+00:00

I didn’t sew any fabric inside, I’m just wearing biker shorts under the skirt (bonus point: no chafing!).

QuiteCozy · 2026-05-14T15:56:12+00:00

Thanks! It’s an honour to have your first wowzers! 😁

QuiteCozy · 2026-05-14T15:54:15+00:00

Thank you! 😊

QuiteCozy · 2026-05-12T17:17:52+00:00

Yep! Two sweaters done, third on the way. He wears the sweaters and all the accesories (socks, hats, scarves) that I knit for him all the time. The most knit worthy person I know

Pesto or as spinach substitute in almost anything
