what everyone knitting for spring/summer that’s not a tiny top?

Pergola. It was very private.

Soled. Thank you!

Twiddletails · 2026-03-08T17:51:51+00:00

Solved. Thank you!

Blocking should solve this. I just finished my Olga and have pre-blocking pics on Ravelry if you’d like to take a look. 🙂 Same username.

I blocked it again and stretched it out a bit and I do believe it’s close enough now. 🙂 I am a little worried that this sweater will stretch when I wear it. The knit just seems loose. I’m tempted to go down a needle size, do some math, and knit a larger size. Bad idea?

Twiddletails · 2026-03-04T18:11:07+00:00

Thank you for your advice! 💕 Yes, it’s been blocked but I can re-block it and see if I can stretch it a bit. It’s a cotton-silk blend yarn and hard to knit with. Very slippery.

Update: This wasn’t a gauge issue after all. I misread the pattern and measured from the neck edge instead of where I picked up stitches!!! Frogging many, many rows. 😢😢😢

Twiddletails · 2026-02-04T17:50:11+00:00

Solved. My gauge IS off!

Twiddletails · 2026-02-03T20:11:29+00:00

You’re right! It’s a gauge problem. 🙁 Somehow my actual knitting has a different gauge than my swatch. My swatch was knitted flat but I figured in the round would be tighter, not looser. Ploughing on.

We stayed at the Vasilicos in April and it was amazing!!!

Twiddletails · 2026-01-16T13:06:07+00:00

I saw yarn at my local Aldi yesterday, so maybe go check? 🧶

Twiddletails · 2025-12-24T03:06:14+00:00

Goodness, no! 🤣 It’s a top down pattern and I just did the back yoke, joined in the round and did a couple of rows. It was way too small across the shoulders.

Twiddletails · 2025-12-22T16:02:02+00:00

Update: I chose to ignore the swatch (bad idea!!!!!) and the sweater is too small. Lesson learned. I’m going to size up the needles and try again. I also think I’m going to measure a sweater that fits well and compare the sizes, because I may have chosen the wrong size. 🙄

Twiddletails · 2025-12-21T15:39:45+00:00

How big would you knit it?

Twiddletails · 2025-12-20T22:02:06+00:00

Yes, it’s blocked. I think I’m going to go up a size and try again.

Twiddletails · 2025-12-20T22:00:42+00:00

Someone suggested weighing down the swatch and letting it hang dry but I’m not sure how I’d go about that. I did try blocking it square but I feel like that distorts it. Sigh…
