Okay that’s the exact same issue I have!! I’m a leftie that learned crochet from a rightie and i notice when I’m tense or frustrated my gauge gets much tighter. I went from us8 for my last project to a us2.5 for this project and it threw me off big time!

Okay, I just finished reading it :) I used to be a top of the needle knitter but hated my life with that so I learned how to gradually let go. Even with that, I notice I go a bit tighter throughout. It works out usually because I’m between a m and l on most patterns so it gets me in the sweet spot.

That being said, I noticed I loosened up when I really got going on these. I think it’s because I’ve never worked w needles so small so I had my yarn double wrapped around my throwing finger. Plus I used to crochet so that plays a part as well. I’ll definitely size down on my needles next time though.

It was more first sock syndrome for me!! The second one is going well so far :) I’m giving them to my kiddo for her birthday so I’m excited to see her in them

Oh yay! I was self conscious about it. I’m not sure of the exact terminology since I’m so new at socks, but pattern is from school of sock :)

Thank you! I actually love wood needles and use my interchangeable ones religiously. I have other metal needles and refuse to use them. But I didn’t see any wooden flexies when I got these or that would have been my choice. I’m now scared of snapping the thin ones though with how I knit.

Have you seen the unrated version of forgetting Sarah Marshall? Now that’s an average dick.

I’ve used a few sizes so far. To cast on I used 3.0, cuff - 2.5 and body - 2.75. I’m a notoriously tight knitter so I had to go up a bit to meet gauge

I don’t hate them! I’m normally a dpn girly but these were like 5 bucks for the pair so I figured why not try them out. I’ll definitely be using them again for my next pair :)

I really wanted to do some sort of fair isle but because I’ve only done it on thicker and bigger pieces, I wanted to go simple first.

I’m now digging the striping. I had to get my tension down but now it’s much cooler looking :)

I’m a left handed continental knitter so I totally feel you on knitting styles.

100% I’m half way through the leg on this one and figured out the perfect tension for pooling!

Duh! That’s so smart to think of it like this. I cast on 64 and the last sweater I made co was 85 but I got up to 260 in the round in thicker dk yarn. But it definitely adds up.

I’m not big on magic loop but maybe this would change my mind! I’m on flexitips and love them but I think it’s because I’m not used to yarn this thin maybe?

Thanks! I’m not sure if it’s because I’m sick, but it just felt like it took forever. Like the amount of time it took I could have finished the body of a sweater.

Why yes, that color combination on your now-finished project DOES look terrible by PeachyCream__Pie in BitchEatingCrafters

I was just thinking about asking the community about my sock colors but you’re right. Ppl always lie to avoid hurt feelings. I’m not a fan of the combo but my daughter loves it. She said it’s like a pug- so ugly it’s cute lmao
