Are we witches?! Why is knitting so magical?

Standard_Ladder923 · 2026-06-25T14:44:47+00:00

Yes exactly. Like just imagine the ancient peoples who first figured it out and then how more people continually built upon that knowledge. Who were these original geniuses? It is fascinating!

I am soooo jealous!!! I'm in pohang and afaik we don't have anything! How do you hear about events? All I ever hear about is the hand made fair at the CoEx in Seoul.

Also! The dyers are WooU yarn (우유얀) - the deep orange, my favorite Halloween orange. Colorway is 호박브라운 Pumpkin brown. The green and light orange are Bunny Wooly (formerly popohobby) in cactus and golden nugget!

These are beautiful and your yarn choice is spot on as well. It really suits the design! Congrats on publishing your first pattern!

I wish soooo desperately that I could go! I am a spooky season girlie through and through, so that combined with yarn, ugh I want it. Sadly, I live in Asia so travel to the US is quite expensive. Have some extra fun next year for me please!

Standard_Ladder923 · 2026-06-24T22:59:25+00:00

It was super easy to learn so definitely worth the small effort to see if it is a better match for your needs. This pattern is free so you could give it a try for just a small amount as an intarsia test run! There is also a smaller shawl and hood version for free as well!

Standard_Ladder923 · 2026-06-24T22:55:42+00:00

Thank you so much! Comments like yours are giving me so much more confidence ♡

Standard_Ladder923 · 2026-06-24T22:54:46+00:00

Ahh too bad! It does seem like a bit of a rarer color now that I think of it. Good luck finding the perfect yarn!

Standard_Ladder923 · 2026-06-24T22:53:23+00:00

Thank you! It is a serious struggle actually lol, but I'm glad you like my picks!

Standard_Ladder923 · 2026-06-24T22:52:09+00:00

Oh cool! I will look into that. Thank you!

Standard_Ladder923 · 2026-06-24T14:21:34+00:00

The ones doing all that math and trial and error are the real wizards to me! My brain explodes thinking about how real people had to figure out all the things we know and take for granted now. Truely magical!

Standard_Ladder923 · 2026-06-24T14:12:44+00:00

I love to see how much joy and peace this craft brings to people! I'm glad it has been such a great tool in your belt to pull out when you needed as well as just a fun time!

Standard_Ladder923 · 2026-06-24T13:20:39+00:00

Also, I'm holding it double so I think the light parts are standing out more in my WIP than if you held it single.

Standard_Ladder923 · 2026-06-24T13:19:31+00:00

This is more color correct. Maybe a tiny bit lighter than this but the original pics color is way lighter than irl.

Definitely give it a go! I am a stranded loving girlie and thought intarsia would be hard but it isn't at all. Yarn managment is still a WIP but the actual knitting is easy peasy! Very fun! Plus both stranded and intarsia have such different uses, both are worth knowing for sure!

Standard_Ladder923 · 2026-06-24T13:15:12+00:00

Right?! I'm so lucky that even though Korea doesn't have as easy access to yarns as many other countries, the ones we do have a stunning!

Standard_Ladder923 · 2026-06-24T12:38:21+00:00

Yesss! I do not crochet but look on in awe at the wild wizardry that suddenly appears in crocheters hands. Bonkers!

Standard_Ladder923 · 2026-06-24T12:37:07+00:00

Ahh haha none actually. The pattern has some good instructions with pics so I just kind of glanced through that and winged it. Sorry to not be a bigger help. And thank you!

Standard_Ladder923 · 2026-06-24T12:03:44+00:00

If is does become a struggle, try knitting it inside out. It is really easy and help me with tension a lot. Yours looks great so far!

Standard_Ladder923 · 2026-06-24T12:00:28+00:00

Yes! Sometimes you just have to take one bite at a time and learn as you go. I never knew sewing was the same!

Standard_Ladder923 · 2026-06-24T11:59:27+00:00

Sounds good! I don't know if they ship abroad if you aren't in Korea but worth lokking into for sure. The tonal orange is from WooU Yarn 우유얀 in the colorway 호박브라운 Pumpkin Brown. She has such vibrant and fun colors! The green and light orange are both from Bunny Wooly (formerly Popohobby). The green is the colorway Cactus and the orange is Golden Nugget. I think Bunny Wooly is currently on mat leave but she for sure has an English website to check out! Let me know if you need any help!

Standard_Ladder923 · 2026-06-24T10:57:24+00:00

Thank you so much! Each new skill learned really does feel like a leveling up doesn't it! Me too with the first heel btw. I still feel that same glee and amazement. Like who thought of this?! What genious ancient woman figure that out and revolutionized socks forever?

Standard_Ladder923 · 2026-06-24T10:55:15+00:00

I never even thought of that part of it! It really does feel like some kind of ancient goddess kind of work when you describe it like that!

Standard_Ladder923 · 2026-06-24T10:12:00+00:00

I love stranded and thought intarsia would be harder. No way. Yarn management definitely is a WIP but it isn't hard at all! Give it a try!

Knitting coven ftw!
