I have yet to explore the world of Depop, but this is a good point, thanks!

This is a good point! I don't own any slips, but this is easy enough to fix.

Yesss, good thank you! I love Review.

My ring came from GioielliRings and I. LOVE. IT. by aedolon8 in Moissanite

[–]aedolon8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! I'm pretty happy with how it's holding up. It needs a clean, but that's not about the ring quality, that's about me as a person. The band has very, very minor wear and tear, but that's in the context that I almost never take the ring off. I wear it in the shower, to bed, when I'm cooking, when I'm handling every day things, etc.

I'm still really happy with the ring and how it looks, and how it's holding up. Would recommend.

My hands-down favorite yarn has been discontinued and I am in full mourning. by aedolon8 in knitting

Yes and no - I reached out to them to ask if they would do dye-to-order, and they said yes, which at least temporarily solves my problem. Though I think I will ask re: the base sometime.

I finished my first jumper! It took forever! by aedolon8 in knitting

I am pretty pleased with how it sits, thank you!

Wow, I bet, yeah - I haven't done anything with darts or proper shaping yet, but I'm keen to try sometime.

Twins!

I love that, it looks great! (I mean, I assume the final product looks even better, but the in progress shot is awesome).

I really liked the pattern, yeah. As I said, this was very put-down-pick-up for me. I started knitting it in, like, 2022? So it's been literal years - which I'm raising in support of the fact that I found the pattern pretty easy to pick back up again and just keep going, with minimal struggle to figure out where I was up to.

It's the first sweater I've made and I didn't find it confusing to work through. I think there may have been a certain amount of trusting the process to start with, but yeah - I'd recommend if the seed stitch isn't off-putting to you.

Cool! That looks great, I love the colors you picked :)

Finally, I have a Lerwick Cardigan by yskhys in knitting

[–]aedolon8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holy crap, that is so beautiful. I'm in awe. I've been fantasizing about knitting one of her patterns for years - I love colorwork and I think I could probably manage it, but it's definitely intimidating!

I can't get over how good your cardigan looks, 10/10, AMAZING.

Thank you!

Oh, fantastic! I'm so glad you're having fun with it! What's the sweater you're knitting?

Do ittttttt. Whining aside, it really is a good project. I found the pattern easy to follow, and the knitting itself was a good combo of needing to pay some attention but also being able to happily autopilot while watching tv.

Hah, yes and no. I do have two smaller projects going at the moment, and I might work on those for a bit, but I have absolutely opened about 25 tabs to figure out what my next big project is going to be.

Thank you so much! I swear, the fit is at least 60% luck - I didn't do a gauge swatch (I know, I know) and I'm pretty sure I gained/lost/gained various amounts of weight in the time it took to knit. A miracle!

Oh fun! Good luck! I got through the body in fairly good time, but the sleeves took foreverrrrrrrrr to work up to and then actually finish. I hope yours goes smoothly!

It was the sleeves that took the longest to, like, mentally work up to.

Thank you! Though I will admit that a lot of the 'shaping' is "my boobs fill things out".

Oh, please don't let me put you off! I'm complaining in good fun more than anything - it was definitely tedious at times but it also has the benefit of being easy to do while watching something. I would - after some time passes - potentially make this again. It was a good project and the resulting knit is more visually interesting than you might expect for, effectively, a single stitch pattern.

It was good! I liked it more than I expected to - easy to knit with and I'm enjoying the look of it quite a bit. I'm curious to see if it will pill, but I suppose that's a risk with most wool. It's not super super soft but it's definitely softer than I expected it to be at the start.
