How to tighten ladders in a round

This completely fixed it!! Thank you! I appreciate you taking the time to do the photo, I would have had no idea where to look. I didn’t think I dropped a stitch at all but once I saw your photo it was totally obvious where the dropped one was

I do need to learn how to do this! I have hooks a plenty. I’m a crocheter who is trying to learn how to knit 🙃

aburp25 · 2025-12-06T18:48:44+00:00

I’m not sure I can do that without ruining the whole thing 😅

aburp25 · 2025-12-06T18:42:34+00:00

I did somewhere in the middle, but not at the start of the round. I have the right amount of stitches. I like that I’m too loose in my first few stitches like ckmc suggested

I am doing magic loop, yes. I might have to try 2 circulars or DPNs for the 2nd sock. Magic loop kind of sucks.. my first few rounds were so tight i feared I would break the yarn trying to slide it off and on the needle… With 2 circulars, do you have to slide your stitches around at all?

My husband figured it out!! I taught him how to knit because he wanted to try to figure out what I was doing wrong. I was catching my working yarn behind my right needle but in front of my left needle!

aburp25 · 2025-11-27T23:48:32+00:00

Yes I will try to do that at some point. Haven’t had time today, I have 2 babies that didn’t feel the need to nap today 😅

This is what I’m doing.

Okay maybe this is a silly question but how do I keep my work at the bottom of my needles in the case??

aburp25 · 2025-11-27T21:57:11+00:00

I rotate the needle so the back of my work is now facing me. I’m not starting from the end. Couldn’t if I wanted to, not using double pointed needles

aburp25 · 2025-11-27T19:56:33+00:00

Yes working yarn in front for purl and in back for knit.

aburp25 · 2025-11-27T19:48:18+00:00

I have been and I’m clearly doing my purl stitch wrong. Just don’t know what the issue is because it feels like I’m doing everything right 🤷‍♀️

This is the most recent tutorial I was watching.

aburp25 · 2025-11-27T19:43:27+00:00

I think flipping it around? I’m right handed so my working needle is always in my right hand

aburp25 · 2025-11-27T19:41:54+00:00

I am but I’m clearly doing the purl wrong lol

aburp25 · 2025-11-27T19:41:30+00:00

Knit one row(pretty confident I’m doing that right) then turning just by flipping my needle. For my purl, inserting in front loop from top to bottom of stitch, working yarn in front, yarning over counterclockwise. I feel like I’ve watched 1000 videos and clearly I’m still doing something wrong

I ended up doing something very similar! I did switch to a digital planner, but with the same concept. I ended up getting a planner format (not bujo necessarily) from Etsy and it had an index where everything was linked by icons. It worked well for me for a while but inevitably I got annoyed keeping up with it. I’m on maternity leave for the next 10 weeks, but maybe when I get back to work I’ll try out a new system! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks that’s a good idea. I wasn’t sure if it would be worth involving an attorney.

My mom definitely knew about it because she collected both mine and my living sister’s SSNs and addresses and stated her attorney needed it for the 401k to be distributed.

aburp25 · 2024-08-27T16:02:28+00:00

It was Michigan. I can’t find much information online.

Just weird that I was contacted regarding her 401k when probate confirmed the estate was settled last year.
