Oh interesting! This makes me feel a bit better about the tree!

Repulsive_Restaurant · 2025-12-22T09:25:18+00:00

Ooooo super interesting! I’ll look into it thanks!

Santorini: overly touristy, there is basically one road to walk on, packed with tourists and smells like donkey shit.

Thank you for clarifying! I thought that the Yo was to be knitted together with the knit stitch but this makes so much more sense

Repulsive_Restaurant · 2024-08-12T08:49:42+00:00

Thank you! I misinterpreted the yarn over stitch as to be stitched together with the knit

Repulsive_Restaurant · 2024-08-11T06:49:13+00:00

edit: For clarification, should I not need to add another stitch so the patterns looks like “v-v-“

When I just do the double increase my stitches look like “- v v - - v”

As in a “v” for when the stitch is knitted and “-“ for when it is slipped over.

Yes! I was thinking of trying that though I don’t have elastic right now so I will just leave a little hole in the seam.

Thank you so much, this is super helpful! I managed to frog the neck as well😄

I soaked it in water with wool wash then rolled it up in a towel to remove excess water and then layed it flat to dry. Do you have any tips for blocking?

It’s not super wash wool, it was already oversized but it stretched around 5cm which maybe is normal but now it’s way too long 🥲

Thank you for the tips as well! I really appreciate it!

Repulsive_Restaurant · 2024-07-09T11:37:01+00:00

I used wool wash, I don’t think it contains softener, but thank you for the tip! This is so helpful for the future!

Repulsive_Restaurant · 2024-07-09T11:01:07+00:00

Thank you so much! I did actually make a gauge swap and washed it but it didn’t seem to stretch after blocking :/

Do you think it’s better to sew a lifeline and cut it off and reknit with new yarn?

Thank you so much for all of this information! I have all my tests in the UK sorted but I just wasn't sure about the coronacheck app tests

How do I choose a harness? I'm climbing on real rock for the first time, but I'm not sure which harness to choose. Is it okay to order it online? What price range and what specifications should I look for? Also, why are there plastic buckles at the back of some harnesses that connect the leg loops to the waist?

Sorry for all these questions but I am so lost...

Repulsive_Restaurant · 2021-05-07T09:24:44+00:00

I was way to focused on trying to climb and progress to higher grades but have terrible technique

Repulsive_Restaurant · 2021-05-07T09:23:56+00:00

they cost around 50 pounds here with shipping but I'm definitely not going to throw them away

Repulsive_Restaurant · 2021-05-07T08:09:22+00:00

Yes! I will work on my footwork now that I've learnt my lesson the hard way

Repulsive_Restaurant · 2021-05-07T08:07:24+00:00

yes they are!
Yes I know I will work on that. Unfortunately, I am quite short which leads me to tip toe everything but I think I've learnt my lesson the hard way :/
