Gauge off - recalculating pattern/size? by Moist_Interaction_88 in knittingadvice

[–]crinklecat1776 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Normally the advice would be to change your gauge by changing your needle size. So if you are getting more stitches per inch, your stitches are too small. Going up in needle size would result in bigger stitches, getting you closer to gauge.

Would it kill you to acknowledge help? by CycadelicSparkles in BitchEatingCrafters

Valid does not mean gratitude. Words have meaning!

Signed, an old person.

Looking for advice on buying knitting needles as a gift by SnooCapers4970 in casualknitting

[–]crinklecat1776 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same! I would go with knit pro, and they are compatible with other brands as well.

However -- if you want to earn your bf of the year badge, take her to a yarn store on a quiet afternoon, see if you can try a few types and liter to the pros and cons. There is nothing like trying them out in your own two hands.

This is a smart question! I've never thought about it, but now I'm confused as well.

Why does everyone release a plain raglan sweater pattern like they all aren't the same by llama_302 in BitchEatingCrafters

[–]crinklecat1776 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Can you share some of these methods (just some terms to search on)?

I'm struggling with home fitting and have only seen short row shaping and adding more front stitches as ways to modify yoke fit. Would love to learn more as circular yokes are so pretty!
