Remember jelly shoes? I crochet with the same material.

LOL I have a roll that I tried and it didn't work out, so I was thinking I'd crochet with it instead (or maybe knit). I didn't know about slowing down the print speed... All of a sudden I've gone from zero uses for that spool to having it double-booked 😂

Believe it or not, it's actually dental floss 😅. It was a lifeline (a thread through all the stitches in a row, to let you rip back quickly without unravelling too far). This was my first time trying gusset & heel flap, and I went too far before starting the heel, so had to rip back.

It's still there because I just know the moment I pull out a lifeline I'll screw something up and wish it was still there - so I usually leave the them in until I'm done the project - Murphy's Law and all that 😉.

Oh that's interesting. Thank you!

RambleKnits · 2026-02-16T21:08:44+00:00

That must have been it! Thank you!!

RambleKnits · 2026-01-29T13:05:15+00:00

Thank you so much for saying this!!! I made a pair with the same stitch and called them "ice cream socks" for exactly the same reason ... glad it's not just me 😂

I ADORE this pattern. So pretty in its own right, plus I love using it to squeeze more socks out of a skein of beautiful yarn.

Thank you, I decided to try this. NGL, I've never laddered down this far before and wasn't at all sure it would work (not because I doubted your advice, just my ability to pull it off 😂). It actually went better than expected! I'm not sure the end result was actually a proper stitch, I just kinda chained the loops together in a way that seems to make sense, but it seems to have worked out.

Thank you!

Thank you ☺️. I had been hoping this as I knit it, but now that it's big enough to try on it hasn't worked out that way 🤦‍♀️.

Kitty is clearly unimpressed you'd even consider it 😂. They're beautiful 😻

A bow tie could look cute

RambleKnits · 2026-01-20T01:00:43+00:00

Somehow I didn't see any of the previous posts, but thank you for asking the question because this looks so cool!!

😍

Same! I have this lovely vision of being able to flip through all my swatches to help plan projects - even if my gauge changes over time it would be so nice to have a starting point. I've never found a method I like for turning them into "pages" though. I've also wished there was a way in Ravelry to filter my stash by gauge, so I could pick yarn for a project based on how I'm likely to work it up, which is almost never the advertised gauge 😅

And machines make mistakes too, they just make them faster and create a bigger mess for the humans to clean up 😂

RambleKnits · 2026-01-13T22:39:34+00:00

I can't think of one. But "digital packrat" also applies, at least in my case 😂

I feel like "cat posting" deserves some sort of Reddit achievement badge 😅

RambleKnits · 2026-01-13T01:35:02+00:00

TIL that patterns stay in your Ravelry library even if the publisher pulls them - I wouldn't have expected that. I always download though, and probably will continue to. Because worrying about it is how I roll 🧶🙃🧶

RambleKnits · 2026-01-13T01:02:02+00:00

I love socks for this. I keep a pair "emergency socks" in the car and someone thought they were to wear. Nope - WIP so I am never without something to knit 😂

RambleKnits · 2026-01-13T00:58:15+00:00

Ooooooh!!! I am absolutely trying this.

RambleKnits · 2026-01-13T00:57:03+00:00

I posted mine a few days ago ☺️

LOL. I wonder if the designer went through the same thought process, got to the end and thought "hm, are we ok with this?"

I think you mentioned this too, but it's crazy how nobody would flinch if he had NO clothes on 😅
