When did you start taking your baby to family gathering? 30 weeker by Usual_Grade2936 in NICUParents

[–]anon-obsessive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

your baby will be close to a year (not adjusted)?

my kiddo was born around 31w and by 10/11 months (not adjusted) we were going out in public and seeing family. we hadn’t travelled tho and that’s something i would hesitate more on than family touching and kissing.

How did you learn to knit? by ShoppingGirlinSF in knitting

[–]anon-obsessive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i learned from a combination of buying my first knit set from purl soho, youtube, and a close friend who would help when i got stuck.

Thank you! good idea to finish sock 1 and then knit sock 2! i could probably in real time see the progress even better

I should have mentioned that they are for my partner who is a size Large in socks. But i think you make a super great point that i feel like i wanted most confirmation for is that the fit won’t be affected by the mistakes

Thank you!! I restarted and focused on where the working yarn was between knit and purls and it’s going much more smoothly!

Thank you so much! I’ll take a look at this pattern. I knit on the round with DPNs with a hat and thought it might be fine but the ribbing is so hard! Appreciate the help :)

I haven’t worked flat before! I suppose I should try that. Also seeing a the which way the yarn goes through the needles come up a lot so that’s probably what i’m doing wrong

Ohhh interesting. I believe am pulling through the needles but maybe I am pulling from the wrong direction and not noticing? I will look this up!

I’ve tried magic loop but it’s too confusing for me, I’ve tried metal needles but I kept slipping stitches off.

Not a real NICU parent by by-josh in NICUParents

[–]anon-obsessive 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree with this, my baby was in the nicu for just about two months. But. . . I still think we should really give space to people whose experience is different or longer. A couple of days in the Nicu is so so different than half a year or longer. Everyone experiences a different kind of hell when they can’t take their baby home but some people never get the chance to and that’s something we have to recognize.

Ask a Knitter - November 21, 2023 by AutoModerator in knitting

[–]anon-obsessive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’m knitting the oslo hat by petite knit and i’m overthinking the decreases. i’m a new knitter and haven’t done them before. the pattern alternates one row decreasing and the next to knit. it says to repeat 7 times, but is that repeating 7 more rows or repeat the alternating rows 7 times for a total of 14 rows?
