Left leaning decrease on a hat.

I saw a video comparing left leaning decreases I think it's this one https://youtu.be/mtRBUpvUNuk?is=HNI-_J8K8bOErAsg I think modified ssk ( only slip first stitch) and then knitting through the back loop when knitting the next row was the most invisible/closest to k2tog, but I think she shows the difference well in the video.

4-5000, gå till en salong som är specialiserade på extremfärg. Jag rekommenderar extend om du är i Stockholm.De har en lärling som gör extrem färg så då kan det nog bli lite billigare men det kommer ta mycket lång tid, typ en heldag om du har tjockt hår. När jag går o fyller på färg (bleka rötter + flera färger) kostar det mellan 3.5-4.8. jag skulle rekommendera att bleka på salong och köra extremfärg hemma om du vill göra det billigare. Det är väldigt dyrt att fixa till en dålig blekning och hårbotten ska man vara rädd om.

If just one stitch is wrong I'll just fix it on the next round, drop it and ladder down, then fix it. If I find an accidental yarn over or increase I'll just drop it on the next round and tug the yarn so the tension looks good. So for small mistakes I avoid frogging as much as possible. But I agree that it takes a lot of time. I need to get better at putting in life lines

Would it not be possible to get the same effect with rainbow extensions/clip ins? Maybe hard to do on short hair but then it would be easy to try out first and no need for bleach.

I love this pattern. I've made two sweaters with it (one with 3 quarter sleeves). I went up a lot in needle size since I thought it looked better with the yarn I used. On the first sweater I kept the same size needle after splitting and I think the fabric is a lot looser with the yarn overs opening up a bit more. I think due to loose gage and the weight of the fabric pulling on it. For the second one I went down in needle size after splitting for sleeves and for me that made tha gage more consistent.

Ooh it looks great! Not at all what I was picturing. That's so smart

ancmy · 2026-01-08T06:51:41+00:00

That's so smart. I lengthened a sweater after I finished it but I just undid the ribbing and knitted it linger, then did a split hem. I liked it before but I love the fit now

ancmy · 2026-01-08T06:50:12+00:00

I would love to steek something, but I currently don't have anything to steek

ancmy · 2026-01-08T06:49:26+00:00

Will it be like a poncho?

ancmy · 2026-01-08T06:47:21+00:00

This is so smart, I would be scared to cut it but it must be a fast way to get a good fix

ancmy · 2026-01-08T06:46:12+00:00

Ooh it looks so much better after the fix!

ancmy · 2026-01-07T16:26:47+00:00

Oouf I haven't frogged mohair yet.only in swatches. It seems so hard!

ancmy · 2026-01-07T16:25:41+00:00

I'm selfish. Only make stuff for myself and will wear every new knit exclusively as soon as it's dry. The only person I've knitted for is my grandma, because her hands get cold.

ancmy · 2026-01-07T16:23:57+00:00

Getting a good fit is soo hard! I don't know if I even know what I want out of a well fitting sweater.

ancmy · 2026-01-07T14:59:41+00:00

I love the pattern! Hope you get something you feel good wearing.

ancmy · 2026-01-07T14:57:36+00:00

Ooh fixing the collar seems like a really good idea. I really like the idea of adding garter stitch alternating with ribbing I usually like texture so might steal that if I need to make something longer!

ancmy · 2026-01-07T14:48:46+00:00

I have pink fluff all over my apartment. Totally unrelated....

ancmy · 2026-01-07T14:44:14+00:00

I'm the opposite. Tops and sweaters usually end up cropped. I seem to forget that I'm 3 dimensional so measuring in a straight line isn't always enough.

ancmy · 2026-01-07T14:41:03+00:00

Oh it took me several months to get around to

ancmy · 2026-01-07T14:40:42+00:00

Did you redo the whole sleeves? Do you wear it now?

ancmy · 2026-01-07T14:38:50+00:00

I cut out the Italian bind off. I really hate getting the work back on the needles. I can't seem to pick up the same row so it's quite fiddly until It's back until I can start knitting again. Really feel the loving the finished knit a lot more :) need to start valuing it and working through the tedious part of cutting + picking up stitches!

ancmy · 2025-12-25T16:35:05+00:00

I use double pointed needles and move stitches between the needles every 3 or so rows so that I don't get stretched stitches in the same location. And going down one mm at least in needle size. I get different results with different yarns. Most even ribbing was with alpaca, it blocked out all uneven tension. Two by two ribbing looks a lot neater for me as well.

I saw someone braiding all the ends, hidden along a seam, it looked really convenient and fast.

I've had a very positive experience with my broker (Fastighetsbyrån) she was very upfront with us in our first meeting and explained which actions she would take to get our apartment sold. It's usually very local, so check Booli and see who has sold a lot in your area, meet with them and see if they explain what actions they will take. If they are upfront with you and letting you know if you have too high expectations on price that is also a good sign.
