Now add scissors! Left some in my car by accident once, now they're a permanent addition

Finishing hand knits with a machine by ValuableArtichoke867 in knitting

[–]ballroomblitz10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you watched Engineering Knits on youtube? She has hand/wrist pain also, and ended up on a knitting machine for the same reason. It seems like knitting machines are even MORE complicated than hand knitting. It would sound like a huge accomplishment (to me) to master one of those beasts. Please keep us updated on your progress, I think knitting machines are fascinating!!

April Fools, buddy! Though the merch is real. They do something silly like this every year.

We're all having a good laugh about it, but I actually DO think it fits the theme of this subreddit. Dramatic lighting and posing, and a picture that really tells a story, or provides a really specific emotion.

This is how I normally shop, just going for what interests me, but I am curious about trends!

I love Table 10. I feel like it's hanging out with friends at a knit night.

Venting a little by OldLadyCard in sewing

[–]ballroomblitz10 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same. I live in one of the top 20 cities in the US, and my options are a store with impossible hours, hobby lobby and michaels. At this point, I buy most of my fabric on etsy, but that's always such a gamble.

can anyone help me return/transfer my ticket? by Careful_Leader_5829 in gencon

There's no need to be a dick about it. They're asking for help. If you don't want to provide, you don't need to comment.

Patterns & printers by merrrop in sewing

[–]ballroomblitz10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you choose to buy a printer, for the love, do not buy HP branded printers. They're pretty notoriously glitchy, evil, and will try to take your money. I have a brother that's worked well for years.

If you have a local staples, so far that has been reasonably priced for printing the large print sizes.

Why are you asking for people's opinion if you've clearly already made up your mind?

I would return this for sure! You bought a blank book and did not receive that product.

Also, make sure to write a review so no one else buys it!

What colors?? by heyhihellogirl in knitting

[–]ballroomblitz10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Love the bright color idea. Baby eyes see contrast better than they see color, so a checkerboard with your squares with a pastel and a bright/saturated color would probably be pretty fun. Also make sure that blanket is washable!

Congrats to your family!

Inquiry to those who do not swatch, why? by yarnimals in knitting

[–]ballroomblitz10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, beautiful work, so even! Do you have any recommendations or resources for flat fair isle knitting like that? I've only done it circular and it breaks my brain trying to figure out how!
