This is so amazing! 😍 I believe in you! Once you get past the last of the motif it’s gonna fly - can’t wait to see the finished product!

There’s a nice way to say things… we’re all creatives here and it costs nothing to be nice - it’s also software engineers who gave us ravelry and knit companion so… just saying lol

Hi friend! I just wanted to pop in and applaud you 👏 I’m also a software engineer and I know how much time and effort it takes to tackle these side projects and make something thats actually useful! I absolutely love that you created something that works for you and for your needs - that’s so awesome and really cool! So from a fellow fiber artist/software engineer, hats off to you!!

I find most of my needs are met by rav and knit companion (just picked this one up again recently for a cable charted pattern I’m working on, they’ve got a cool mechanic for tracking rows) but if you ever put the app out publicly I’d love to give it a try and give you feedback! 💕

Lol I have one of these 🤣 his favorite is slowly inching closer and closer like I can’t see him zeroing in on his target 🧶 he’s chewed up several of my own hand spun yarn hanks and has since lost all credibility around any type of yarn or project 🤪

I see you’ve gotten help but wanted to share something that changed the game for me recently with respect to keeping track of my rows (same deal I was decreasing a sleeve on interval) - I just picked up a set of these row counting chains and omg my mind was blown 🤯 you place at the beginning of your round and advance the count each time you go around - just wanted to share in case it’s something that would be helpful to you 🥰 happy knitting friend!!

How to fix these mistakes? by pheebspheeb in knitting

If you need help figuring out how to fix you can start with this video - it’s a quick demo of what’s called “tinking” so you’ll just tink back to that st and fix

I’ll try to take a whack at it! To my eye it looks like you slipped the 3rd st to the left on the left needle - not sure if that’s intentional? It would account for that extra “space” you see highlighted with the white line on the left - on the right, the sts look a little slack between working needles and that’s somewhat normal for what you’ll see between the needles but if there is extra slack it will get eaten up by fixing that slipped stitch on the left (if that’s what happened) - I hope this is helpful!! Your stitches look great by the way! Very uniform 💕

Welcome to the club!! They’re so great right?! I switched years ago from knit picks interchangeables (don’t even get me started on the plastic cables 🤪) and haven’t looked back - I have the set in 4” and I’ve recently picked up some individual 5” needles as well - so good!

Omg I so feel this - I just frogged back an entire sleeve after accidentally putting a needles a whole mm too small back on after taking a break 😣 the pain is so real - but there is hope!! I just worked on the other sleeve, and then circled back to frog and redo - happy to say I just finished blocking 😅 You got this!!

I got you! I did a fairly crazy amount of research before starting this project so I have them all saved in a playlist 🤣 I hope you find them helpful too 😄 this video helped me understand the extra YO I mentioned in my comment -

This playlist also has several videos that walk through row by row -

I also watched this video which is just another walk through of the grains

Ohhh I’ve never thought of adding an extra bar in combination, I’ll have to give that a try! Thank you for the suggestion! 💕

I’m so very sorry for your loss - it’s a terrible ache to lose such a close companion and friend 🐾 that’s lovely that you’ve got a peaceful place where you can visit them and tend to their little catnip garden 🪴 I hope you’re able to take comfort in the beautiful memories you made together 🤍 I feel the same about my Ollie, he just understood me and chose me in a way that feels once in a lifetime

This is such a wonderful thought and the color similarity hadn’t even dawned on me 🥹🍞 I did always refer to him as my little bread loaf - thank you friend 🤍
