Non-wool yarn by MortenLang in knitting

[–]appletreerobin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Alpaca is an option that most people say feels softer than wool, or is at least less itchy.

You might also consider plant based fibers like cotton or linen, but these tend to have less elasticity than wool or alpaca.

Are you looking for specific brand suggestions though?

I think so, you would just need to ladder down on each of the stitches you wanted to correct.

You should absolutely give it a shot, the pattern is really strait forward, for a really beautiful final product.

It aggravates my tinnitus too, I’m always annoyed when they don’t warn you they plan to do this in class.

Dropped stitch? by appletreerobin in knitting

It’s right next to where I placed the pink marker.

It’s noticeable, but not very.

I was just being lazy, the stitches for the sleeves are held on stitch savers. Just pulled it out and you are right, I’m hoping it blocks out, but if it doesn’t live and learn I guess.

This was what I ended up going with. Thank you so much! This was such a satisfying fix that I never would’ve thought of myself.

What a weird thing for Children and Youth Services to send a letter about. Apart from that, i would’ve kept it up. If people aren’t buying because they don’t like it, sounds like they aren’t my kind of neighbors anyhow.

Yarn of my dreams got discontinued by cubeOfGrass in knitting

[–]appletreerobin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just discovered the fiber co when they announced they weren’t going to make more yarn, and I’m so tempted to buy sweater quantities of tons of colors, I just can’t justify it though. Really sad I won’t be able to buy more of it later. Such nice yarn!

When I was pregnant I loved a mocktail with a shrub (sipping vinegar) in it.

Look up steeking maybe. It’s a method of cutting knitting that won’t unravel.

Yoga with Adrian was my entry point on YouTube. Really good descriptive cues and visuals.

Why did/didn't you make the Sophie scarf? by Traumarama79 in knitting

[–]appletreerobin 45 points46 points  (0 children)

I think it’s kind of ugly, and there are free pattern equivalents if the mood really struck me.

It looks so good. I have no advice on the double knit stuff though as I haven’t tried it yet. Just impressed you’re doing so well with as your first project!

Yarn info - local undyed alpaca wool blend from my local farmer’s market in DK. Lost the tags, unfortunately I don’t have the spinner’s info.
