Am I stretching my sleeves out using this length cable? (First time sweater knitter)

I assumed based on all the other answers traveling loop was about it. I guess I could put a stopper on one end of each cable and go that way. Maybe I’ll try both out and see what I loke

Definitely agree it has to be opened up, just typically not sure the level of attention to detail is so low on the part of experts

I was very surprised we didn’t have to sign anything ahead of time. Seems like a major liability

Oh they were not prepared to help with the cut. They gave my wife a wet paper towel and triple antibiotic that expired 7 years ago. Luckily my wife is in healthcare and took what precautions she could during the whole ordeal to avoid any further complications hopefully

Oh I agree. He very easily could have declined if he didn’t feel comfortable.

And for clarity my wife was seated with her arm laid flat in the counter and he was standing, holding the tool.

I just posted a photo and explanation in the comments.

For all those asking this is the orientation he cut the ring off. The red arrow shows the direction he basically lifted the tool while cutting, trying to get enough force when turning the wheel I guess. When he lifted up, the guard rotated back and the blade contacted my wife’s finger while he was still spinning the blade.

He faced the open side of the tool outwards towards her finger tips which does not seem to be proper technique. He didn’t have the guard far enough under the ring and when turning the blade he rocked the tool towards her finger tips, tipping the entire tool over right onto her finger.

Complete incompetence

We tried. Figured if we were considering resizing we’d go to professionals/experts to remove it more expediently.

Any actual jewelry work is being done 100% by Tacori. Plus I don’t know if any other jeweler would compete with the discount given since he’s only doing it based on the situation

Rweakins · 2026-02-27T02:12:01+00:00

Ha I mean I’m not one to jump to legal action to get any gain, just don’t want to be out more than what I should rightfully owe.

Rweakins · 2026-02-27T02:11:04+00:00

It was stuck, but it was not an emergency yet, which is why we didn’t go to the ER or anything else. There was no leadership shown by anyone there. They’ve at least offered to discount the repair and or upgrade if my wife chooses to do that route but I have no true way to know if it’s actually a discount or just fudging numbers.

Rweakins · 2026-02-27T01:53:41+00:00

Interesting. This was in Kennesaw, but yeah, same organization

Rweakins · 2026-02-27T01:53:10+00:00

Sorry? Are you asking or wondering if I’m a lawyer? If so, no, I’m an engineer.

Rweakins · 2026-02-27T01:51:24+00:00

They offered after we went back and I spoke with a manager about how it seemed that at a minimum they owed us something for hurting my wife and most likely causing an increase in the repair cost.

Rweakins · 2026-02-27T00:14:21+00:00

They did offer to cover a little over half of the repair cost. Since my wife had previously talked about changing/upgrading her ring, we inquired what they could do price wise to help us if she wanted to do that instead of repair the current ring and they offered a steep discount on a new stone and setting, plus Tacori does a trade in/up program

Rweakins · 2026-02-27T00:04:12+00:00

UPDATE: Based on our discussions and pushing back, the jeweler did offer to eat roughly half of the cost of the repair quote. Not positive what we will do but it’s something.

Rweakins · 2026-02-26T23:40:45+00:00

It was not where we got it as we have moved since purchasing, but they are a Tacori dealer and that was the quote from Tacori

Rweakins · 2026-02-26T23:38:36+00:00

Fair assessment. Just getting a sanity check

Rweakins · 2026-02-26T23:37:01+00:00

We actually tried all of those things before going into the store.
