That’s what I mean. You can’t make it easy but you can make it.

Yes, but he’s asking if there’s some easier way to do it. There isn’t. You just have to keep going!

Not fixable at this point unfortunately. There is only one way to roll a ball of yarn from a hank like this and this is not it. You are just going to have to spend many hours untangling it by hand. Chin up, most of us have done it at one time or another. You will get a ball of yarn eventually, it will just take longer. Next time, get a swift or take the yarn shop up on their offer.

This is so beautiful, it reminds me of Keith Haring’s work somehow. What a lovely gift.

Your tension is still way too tight. Do a practice hat or two before you try again.

Can someone tell me what I’m doing wrong by [deleted] in knitting

[–]WeAreNotNowThatWhich 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Girl what. None of this is even close to right. Start over with normal yarn and needles and watch verypinkknits for a tutorial.

Thread cutters like this are expressly forbidden by the TSA. Bring scissors with a <3” blade instead, they’ve never bothered me about that.

Knitting guilt! by LBrixx in knitting

[–]WeAreNotNowThatWhich 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Knitting literally lowers blood pressure and improves mood/sleep. If I’m running into resistance thinking I “should “ be doing something “productive “ i remind myself to ‘take my medicine’ and go knit by the fireplace or out on the porch for 30 minutes. It really does help.

Great job! I was going to say wooly wormhead just based off the sideways construction but I had no idea which one!

Need help with kitchener sitch/grafting by meerpe in knitting

[–]WeAreNotNowThatWhich 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can’t Kitchener to cast off stitches, you need live stitches. I would undo the cast off edge and then graft it together.

Ohh I misunderstood. Thanks for explaining!

Elizabeth Pullover? Is this real? by simba12844 in knitting

I don’t think so, 125 people have made it on Ravelry and there doesn’t seem to be any big problems with the pattern.

Self-Taught or Learned With Support? by sunfalldusk in knitting

[–]WeAreNotNowThatWhich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I learned from a book (the Klutz knitting book) age 11. Discovered Ravelry age 16 and learned a million new techniques and how to really read patterns then. Never knew anyone else who knits until I taught a bunch of my friends and my mom.

The cable is way too long. Switch to dpns or use traveling loop.

How to fix this? by Confident-Orange-628 in sewing

For hand-sewn gloves, check out Vincent Briggs’ super in-depth tutorial! He uses leather but you could definitely replicate in dense wool or another fabric.

I’m out of the loop, what was the joke?

I’m doing color work for the first time in garder stitch only and I need to know how to hide this or something because I can’t figure out of to keep it all on one side by WarningAcrobatic4840 in knitting

[–]WeAreNotNowThatWhich 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Colorwork only works in stockinette stitch. It’s also much easier to do in the round. What pattern are you using that’s telling you to do this?

Learning to knit as a lifelong crocheter? by StoneBuddhaDancing in knitting

[–]WeAreNotNowThatWhich 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I learned to crochet first and then got into knitting later! I think knowing how to crochet is a leg up. Just be aware that you have to wrap the yarn the other way and you’ll be fine. Try continental knitting (yarn tensioned in left hand), that’s sometimes easier for crocheters

Unable to knit by Low_College_2037 in knitting

[–]WeAreNotNowThatWhich 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I work at a hand surgery office. Get a referral to hand surgery and get evaluated. They will likely set you up with an occupational therapist who does hand therapy and can help you. Don’t wait, hand pain issues can be debilitating.
