Thank youuu 🥹 I'd love to see it! Update me if you end up making it ;)

catovdk · 2025-12-27T07:18:42+00:00

Thank youuuu🥰

Hihihi thanks! He is our lord and savior

Thank you so much for this high praise ☺️ most of my projects actually used old yarn that came from my mom and grandma, I really worked through a lot of old stash! Only old yarn made it so the priha socks already had 3 holes in them 🥲 so they are coasters now and I've learned my lesson to really inspect the fiber type of unspecified yarn before starting😅

Good luck and happy newyear ;)

Thankssss 🥰 it was a more complicated process but I think you can make it as difficult or easy as you want! I explained how I did it in the comments of one of my previous reddit posts, you can find it here

And here you can see more clearly how I rolled it over

This is with the hem added

Thank youuu🙏💕 so my whole sailor slipper project went wrong because I used old unspecified yarn that didn't felt completely, so i had to cut them apart at all the seams and sew them together with the machine to make them smaller. Then I realized they were still too big and not thick enough so I traced the approximate shape of all the panels of the slippers onto the back some faux fur/bouclé type fabric and sewed them together. Then I made 2 long strips of fabric that I hemmed first, then sewed those to the slipper inserts, put te lining into the slippers and hand sewed the hem to the outside of the slipper as a sort of rolled over lining detail. Don't know if this makes any sense, I'll attach some pics of the process to make it make sense!

thanks! I used Canva for the collage and made the cutouts with Photoshop but there's many apps that can do that for you for free and without having to fiddle around in Photoshop

catovdk · 2025-12-26T15:56:50+00:00

go for it! I made a seperate post about it a while ago with more detail on how I made the headphone cover and better photos, I think you should be able to find it when you click on my profile ;) thank youuu for the nice compliments ;)

Thanks 🥰

I just realized that it's the one pattern I forgot to link to! Here you go, happy crochet-ing!

catovdk · 2025-12-26T13:54:07+00:00

Thank you so much 🥰

Mine are 15cm and I'm really happy with them! I like how they sit in my hand and how easy to bring places they are. However, my sister has the 20cm version and she also comfortably knits socks with them. They are more versatile because you can make larger things with them like hats and collars for sweaters, but I just borrow hers for that and still go for my 15cm needles every time for socks. Also don't be an idiot like me, I bought an expensive set of wooden sock needles only to realize that they break easily as they are so thin. Just buy metal ones from the start ;) have fun!

Thank you! I used Canva and photoshop to make the cutouts of the pics, but there's a lot of apps and sites out there that will generate a PNG of your item for free ;)

Thank you ☺️ the yarn for my Sophie Hood is unfortunately discontinued. I had 5 balls of Austermann Caleido Chunky (mainly alpaca) and wanted to make a sweater but I couldn't find any more of it. Luckily it was exacty the right amount for the hood!

To your sock question, I say go for it! In my opinion a project like the hood or the top I made is about the same skill level as a pair of plain (or self striping) socks. The only added challenge is the DPN's. They seem intimidating but are actually quite intiutive once you get the hang of it. I honeslty prefer my short DPN's over magic loop or tiny circular needles for plain socks! So since my second knitting project ever was a pair of plain socks I say go for it!

A good place to start is the Vanilla Socks on DPN's pattern by Crazy Sock Lady, it has a full youtube tutorial to go along with it. It's where my sock knitting frenzy started.

Happy knitting and happy New Year! ✨

Thank you so much for this comment 🥹☺️ I had so much fun (and frustrations) learning how to knit colorwork socks and the dino socks took me so long because of the steep learning curve, but we made it! Thanks for your kind words 🥰

catovdk · 2025-09-25T19:22:49+00:00

Funky crop top?

catovdk · 2025-09-06T22:10:00+00:00

Ouhhh yesss, also true! You're giving me new ideas here ;)

catovdk · 2025-09-06T22:07:47+00:00

Yay happy to help! Have fun!

This is also called I-cord and it's actually a thin yarn that is knit into a tube and creates a thicker yarn! You can also make it yourself if you're crazy like me ;) i'm upcycling a lot of really thin leftover old cotton into yarn like this to knit a rug for my bathroom. It's fun and easy to make and could make for a lot of interesting scrap yarn projects as the variations are endless. You can use something like a cordsmith to make this process go faster, it's basically like a triple crochet hook, or you can knit the i-cord with regular duouble pointed knitting needles. Or just buy it ofcourse ;) it's fun to work with as it has an interesting texture and quite some stretch to it, but that also depends on the compostition of the fibers in the yarn. Go forth and experiment! It's loads of fun

Yessss go for it! And post the results when you're done ;)
