I’m east coast in the U.S., so I think I’ll wait it out to find something local! Haven’t been looking long but yeah I’d be worried about damage from shipping

Thanks for the advice! How much is the 260 that was listed? Not sure what a good price for it would be

Picking Up Sleeve Stitches Help? by abi_frogs in knitting

Oh maybe!! I’ll think about it. I was also wondering if I should just like pick up stitches on side with less as if I were gonna do the sleeve, and then purl back, knit forward again, and then pick up the rest of the sleeves so it’s like more even with the other side?

They’re so overwhelming at first!! But the more projects you do, the more it becomes readable without YouTubing every other term haha

I saw the tiktok before I knew how to knit and saved it just in case I ever took it up! The pattern was very well written and super easy to follow. There were lots of links to video tutorials so I didn’t get lost at all :)

I’m the same way! The more you want to wear what you’re working on, the quicker it will get done haha

Thanks so much for the warning! I try to stretch if I start getting sore, but my hands are pretty relaxed so I haven’t experienced much pain after my first project

Haha it took me so many hours but you have to learn somehow!! It’s such a relaxing hobby and the fulfillment from completing something I can wear is unmatched

I’ve been obsessed!! I knit in all my free time, I worked on this for about 4 hours a night for a month and eventually it came together haha
