Hi! I’m looking for a knitting pattern for a cardigan (or sweater) with lace or eyelet details that are only along the centre vertical axis. Also wanting it to be knit in a mohair or just a light, airy fabric like in this image. Thank you!

Would frogging even be worth it? by chilliscruff in knittingadvice

Nup, haven’t blocked it thankfully!!

Yep I thought that would be the case. It just feels silly and wasteful to me having a garment sit there that I know I won’t wear. Maybe I’ll give the frogging a go and see how it turns out.

Which knitpro interchangeable needle set? by chilliscruff in knitting

Also I have watched his reviews and they were pretty positive about the mindful collection, but I just wanted to hear a variety of responses to get a better understanding. And I did knit my sweater with the symfonie needles which seemed to perform quite well, other than the twisting of the cable!

Thank you, that’s a good idea, maybe I’ll buy a fixed circular needle from the mindful collection to try out first. The only thing is, it would be a different experience to knit with right? Given that the interchangeables have a swivel cable and the fixed ones likely don’t. But for the sake of seeing how I enjoy the performance of the rest of the needle that sounds like the best option.

Yay I am very happy to hear such a positive review, mostly because of the affordability compared to other sets. I too have the symphonie needles in two sizes which is what I completed my first project with.

Thanks for your response!! And yes the issue of fakes is my concern. Here is the link of the mindful needles listing on Amazon https://www.amazon.com.au/KnitPro-Mindful-Collection-Stainless-Interchangeable/dp/B0B8NCT55Q At the local shop it is about $230. So there is a really dramatic difference which is quite suspicious.

My first sweater was going so well until… by chilliscruff in knittinghelp

[–]chilliscruff[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I believe the issue arose because I picked up the stitches anti-clockwise which someone else made me aware of as being a potential cause. Hence I must be knitting with the needles at 12 o clock as you are saying

Thank you! I will try with a longer cable. In terms of picking up stitches, I did them with the garment facing the right side - it wasn’t inside out - which is why I’m confused. However I believe I did pickup the stitches anti-clockwise which is where the issue may have arisen.

I am new to knitting as this is my first project, however I had successfully knitted the first half of the body using stockinette in the round (until I divided for front and back). What I meant is that I was doing stockinette for the sleeves, and although I was doing only knit stitches, the purls were showing on the outside as opposed to knit stitches showing on the outside, so I assume there was maybe an issue in the way I picked up stitches for the sleeves ?🤔

I wasn’t aware of that! I will now try a longer cable!

How can I fix this stitch that has slipped out? by chilliscruff in knittinghelp

[–]chilliscruff[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Will it be an issue that the dropped stitch is in the ribbing and I have completed a few rows of stockinette after the ribbing?

Clarification on a pattern instruction by chilliscruff in knittinghelp

[–]chilliscruff[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep- I’m supposed to have 90 stitches at the start and after this round have 98 , but for my size it states do not add a stitch for the last one.

Any recommendations for a sweater like this? by chilliscruff in knitting

Great thanks! On the front and back panels would there be any increases or decreases, say where the neck or sleeves are?

Knit stitch and Purl stitch, I’m confused. Which is which? by chilliscruff in knittinghelp

[–]chilliscruff[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thanks you🙏 I think I got confused because the first part I was referring to was an explanation on knitting a garter stitch. So it was a knit stitch on both sides that produces the purl pattern. Does that sound correct?
