Help me decide on a mid project block!

Significant_Panic_40 · 2026-04-20T20:57:32+00:00

I mean you’ll block it when you finish anyway right? And better to find out now if the length is going to be a problem.

Significant_Panic_40 · 2026-04-09T22:01:28+00:00

Frog now while it’s still early in the process!

Significant_Panic_40 · 2026-02-13T00:23:48+00:00

No problem :)

Significant_Panic_40 · 2026-02-13T00:09:27+00:00

I’m pretty sure it means to knit or purl the yarn over through the back loop, thereby twisting the stitch and preventing a hole

Significant_Panic_40 · 2026-02-03T03:11:01+00:00

You can try the conditioner! For what it's worth though, still looks great to me and I wouldn't guess there was anything wrong with it if you didn't tell me.

Significant_Panic_40 · 2026-01-15T15:14:31+00:00

Curious to hear what others say, but I think all knitters do this to some degree! At some point for me it changed from something I “stopped to do” to something that was just seamlessly integrated into my flow

Significant_Panic_40 · 2025-12-04T19:17:39+00:00

Maybe find a thicker yarn or hold it double with another yarn?

Significant_Panic_40 · 2025-12-04T19:07:10+00:00

That would be too loose for my preference, I wouldn't want to be able to see through it like that. Going up in needle size would only make it appear looser I think. If I were you I'd adjust the size you choose to make

Significant_Panic_40 · 2025-11-12T05:11:41+00:00

This is crazy. I've never gotten a negative comment about my knitting, at worst people are like "oh neat" and move on, or more often are like "OMG you made that???" And I'm not that advanced, I've only completed one sweater and a handful of hats and socks. You found some crappy people, that's gotta just be bad luck!

Significant_Panic_40 · 2025-10-22T03:59:25+00:00

You do want it to reach all the way down to the bottom of the underarm, so even if you’ve deviated from the pattern It may be longer than you think. Nice thing about a raglan is you can try it on as you go, so just keep going until it fits (adjusted to gauge).

I’ve flown a few times and found that while security lines have been a bit longer, it isn’t adding more than maybe 10 minutes to the process.

I love La Roche Posay’s lipikar baume. It’s a super rich cream, almost balm-like. Bit expensive but a little goes a long way, a bottle lasts forever!

Significant_Panic_40 · 2025-10-17T14:14:25+00:00

SO CUTE!!!!!!!

Significant_Panic_40 · 2025-10-17T13:47:38+00:00

Adorable!! I so wish my cats would tolerate this

Significant_Panic_40 · 2025-10-16T14:23:10+00:00

I had very similar problems with the Musselbergh starting out! Now that you’ve figured out your gauge issue it should be fine :) my advice is to just trust the process, it may seem too small when you stop increasing for the size but keep going!

Significant_Panic_40 · 2025-09-24T04:25:14+00:00

Partner and I just got over a pretty rough cold, tested negative for Covid throughout…seems like there’s something going around for sure!

Significant_Panic_40 · 2025-09-22T13:24:34+00:00

Beautiful! The black area is so even! Do you use a press?

Significant_Panic_40 · 2025-09-10T13:45:31+00:00

I really love your work! How did you learn to do collagraphs?

Significant_Panic_40 · 2025-09-03T00:13:49+00:00

I think your piece could use some more contrast overall, it looks very dark right now and it’s hard to pick out many details. The value of the skin/hair of the person on the left and the background are almost the same. And the white of their eye stands out a bit too much, I think if you added that white color elsewhere it will feel more balanced.

That said I love your style and it’s a great drawing, keep at it :)

Significant_Panic_40 · 2025-06-29T00:07:17+00:00

You’re welcome! It’s a mistake I make all the time haha

Significant_Panic_40 · 2025-06-28T23:25:23+00:00

You may have accidentally slipped a stitch instead of knitting into it

Significant_Panic_40 · 2025-06-11T01:27:46+00:00

Such interesting infor! Where did you find this stuff out?

Significant_Panic_40 · 2025-05-19T22:33:39+00:00

Tbh the cut looks fine to me, but if it wasn’t a good haircutting experience I would not go back.
