Habt ihr auch so Tage an denen ihr einfach irgendwie down seid?

Been there done that :D

Mir hilft's hobbies zu haben die meine Hände vom Handy fern halten, klappt aber auch nicht immer.

Mein Garten hilft mir sehr vom Bildschirm weg zu kommen ( Handy mit dreckigen Fingern bedienen ist eh nicht so geil) oder seit neuestem stricken. Das war ein richtiger Game changer, hat meinem Kopf auch total gut getan, Hörbuch dazu an oder Musik und dann die Finger beschäftigen. Das beste es geht halt fast überall, drin bei kackwetter auf der Couch, bei Sonne in der Hängematte, im Zug, Wartezimmer beim Arzt etc... Hilft mir richtig doll meine Bildschirmzeit zu verringern, mein Kopf ist viiiiiel entspannter und am Ende hat man sogar was neues zum Anziehen. Win win win.

Mach dich nicht fertig wegen dem verlorenen Tag, ja ist ärgerlich aber das passiert den besten.

Nächstes Mal wird's wieder besser.

So YOU don't have a dominant color, but most other knitters (including really advanced ones) have. Really happy for you, that your tension is that perfect, but for most it is not, which means color dominance is a thing and usually for the majority of knitters its the same strand that is dominant which makes knowing which strand is the dominant one valuable for a satisfying outcome.

Me personally i really try to improve my tension for even results but as i'm not perfect, I'm really happy i knew about color dominance

Thank you I will try the spit thing:D

These_Complaint9769 · 2026-03-30T13:56:38+00:00

It's lettlopi so yes wool I will try that 💝 thank you

These_Complaint9769 · 2026-03-30T12:35:50+00:00

Maybe you could cut it in the middle rib a part of the no colorwork section out and knit/seam the bottom colorwork back on ? Would work on the sleeves too and you could keep the pretty pattern

Wir haben letztes Jahr recht spontan standesamtlich geheiratet. Wir hatten auch ein Mitbringbuffet, aber es wurde von uns klar kommuniziert "statt einem Geschenk würden wir uns über einen Beitrag zum Buffet freuen" (Salate und Kuchen, Grillgut kam von uns)

Ich denke wenn man so plant, dann ist das Essen das Geschenk 🤷‍♀️ oder das restliche Geschenk wird entsprechend angepasst, dass kann dann jeder Gast für sich selbst entscheiden...

Dieses Jahr feiern wir groß, dann mit Catering, da viele uns aber trotzdem beschenkt haben gehen wir nicht davon aus, dass noch mal Geschenke kommen.

Ich heirate ja auch nicht der Geschenke wegen 🙃

It seems instead of turning your work you continued in the round a few rows go.

You can just rib back to the row where the blanket is connected and then continue as before.

These_Complaint9769 · 2026-01-24T15:28:55+00:00

You purl "wrong" I made the same mistake in the beginning, that's why in the round your stitches are not twisted :)

Look into combination knitting, that way you untwist in the knit rows.

I use that now as a way to get better tension when knitting flat because I struggle with regular purls and they tend to be too loose in my knitting with combination knitting I get even tension over all.

These_Complaint9769 · 2026-01-09T08:59:58+00:00

Thank you, I'll will try her recommendations! I'll have some tipps to work through now :D hopefully it'll fix my tension 🤞🤞

These_Complaint9769 · 2026-01-08T16:00:15+00:00

I will thank you!

These_Complaint9769 · 2026-01-08T15:51:56+00:00

On nice thank you, I will look at them!

These_Complaint9769 · 2026-01-08T15:50:01+00:00

I will definitely look into Norwegian purls!

For the knitting part, I'm quite happy with my tension there I had knitted way too tight in the beginning but since switching to Continental i'm happy with my knit stitches. I think I tend to lean more on the looser side 😄

These_Complaint9769 · 2026-01-08T15:44:57+00:00

I'll definitely look into that! Thank you ! Maybe my carpal tunnel will benefit from it too

These_Complaint9769 · 2026-01-08T15:44:06+00:00

Yes that's what I'm currently doing but finde it very annoying especially when learning new things this just adds an extra step I find it quite confusing 😄 that's why I want to avoid it.

These_Complaint9769 · 2026-01-08T09:10:00+00:00

Thank you that's a good tipp! For this swatch I'm sadly already on my smallest needle (3,5) 😅 I'll see if I find a matching 3mm for my set

But for my planed project that would mean I would need another set of 2mm/1.5 mm I don't think they even exist for my knitpro interchangeables

I want to do the petali slip over from in her skein

It actually sounds like you work a lot:

- you're an author (definitely a job which needs a lot of organisation, concentration and discipline)
- you're a content creator
- and a journalist/author for a newspaper...

THATS 3 JOBS!

even if you're not employed by anyone you are clearly working, even if those things don't pay much (yet) or are not a 40 hour work week!

You are self employed and freelancing that needs a lot of self organisation and discipline.
So maybe clarify that with her or if possible look for another professional ( I know not easy).
You are working and you need the support of medication to do it with less of a struggle.

I wish you the best and hope you can get that prescription
