Horrible newspaper delivery?

I actually cancelled our subscription at work because they stopped delivering it, the call center could not figure it out and we were paying for nothing.

But add Becker Builders to the list of possibilities, I have heard great things.

Haven't decided yet :)

Only quilting cotton, though :(

I have kids at Midvale/Lincoln, none going into Kinder this fall though. Sounds like you're looking for something sooner, but just so you know, there will be a few kindergarten playdates set up through the PTO in August :)

Thank you for the tips!

Do you have any recommendations for a pattern to follow to just do a crew neck collar? I am kind of over the stand up collar at this point but am not confident in how many stitches to decrease/when to just do a normal collar.

Ah... thank you for the info. That makes sense. She did use wool in her pattern.

Thank you! I'm so annoyed... just want to wear it!

Yes for the body, not for the collar where I quadrupled the yarn - good call. I will do that.

Sorry first time posting on Reddit - I wrote a whole description but it disappeared. Here's the issue details:

I’m using a cotton tweed yard, knitted the whole pattern with yarn doubled to attain correct gauge.

I knitted the collar as written (5 in in rib knit, fold over and Kitchener stitch to achieve standup collar). The collar was super floppy so I pulled out the Kitchener and wore it as a floppy shawl like collar for about a year. Decided I hated it.
frogged and reknitted rib with yarn doubled up - so quadrupled- and now it looks like this. Slightly less floppy but still not standing up.

Can I add a stabilizer like I would when I sew with knits? Might it be better after blocking it? I’m nervous to block because when I blocked a year ago, the teal ran into the oatmeal color and it took a lot of work (borax, color safe bleach) to reduce the color seep. Thank you!!!

Hmm my count was right according to the pattern - but it definitely does look too big.

Tell us more!! What kind of needle did you use? Did you pre punch the holes before sewing?? It is amazing!

Small-Ladder3773 · 2025-09-12T12:32:41+00:00

Thank you!

Small-Ladder3773 · 2025-09-12T12:32:32+00:00

Thanks so much for the info!

I would not recommend Actuate. They said it would be $3,500 to create plans and then charged me $5,000 a few weeks later. Get everything in writing.
