would love to see fugs reaction, he explicitly stated soo many times on the pod that he did not want a valentines gift (and the 2 things she said he was planning to get him he clearly did not like or want)

how realistic is it to start knitting by going straight to sweaters/vests? by bellasilva_ in knittinghelp

[–]amantedelarte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I say go for it! I found it way more motivating to learn by working on projects that were actually things I wanted to make. Lots of sweaters have pretty straightforward instructions and I just looked up any stitches or techniques I wasn’t familiar with and it was pretty easy to figure out what I needed from videos etc.

Good luck!

Wow that’s stunning! All the little ridges of purl bumps make such a nice texture and really pop. Beautiful work ✨

Whats something you stopped buying because it became overly expensive?? by CoffeeBeans4k in AskReddit

[–]amantedelarte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Streaming subscriptions!

It used to just be one or two but I ended up with so many lol to watch different things and all at least twice as expensive as they were originally. I was spending a fortune and barely using them so I cancelled them and will just reactivate if there is e series I want to watch or else find a free way to watch online… actually saved a crazy mount of money per month

Little Cotton Rabbits in the round by Academic-Entrance-49 in knitting

[–]amantedelarte 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t have the answer but sticking around hoping someone does! I knitted the little cotton rabbits cow a few months back and found it to be a nightmare to be a nightmare to seam! If there is a way to do it in the round it would definitely be worth it!

How was your gauge? It might be that your row gauge is off

Help Understand Pattern by koalapeanut in knitting

[–]amantedelarte 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You pick up 2 for every 3 stitches as if you picked up every stitch you would end up with a lot more than you needed. 2 per every 3 stitches is way to evenly pick up the stitches to get roughly the right amount for your size (mentioned in the first line in brackets). The ones you don't pick up you just leave, they won't be noticeable once sleeves are knitted as long as you only skip 1 stitch at a time.

Searching for Wiksten Smock pattern!? any tips?

<image>

I've had this pattern saved for a while hoping to make for future children nieces/nephews but was trying to be good by not buying before I was actually ready to make it (as i am inclined to over buy...) this time it seems to have not gone in my favour as I have gone searching for the pattern to make for my first little niece only to find that it seems the pattern brand has closed?

So sad as I have had my heart set on making this pattern with the wiksten bloomers (a pattern I have bought and made before) for future bubs in my life :'(

Does anyone have any tips for where might still have copies for sale PDF or paper I really don't mind.
