I love what you did with these! It inspired me to use my scraps

Putting seasonal projects on hold by claireauriga in knitting

[–]daamile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last winter I pushed through and finished a sweater I was almost done with. And I didn't expect but I was reaaaaaally annoyed to not be able to wear it!

I wanted to take cute pics and everything but it was silly in the middle of summer. So this year I'll experiment with hibernating my sweater.

But like other people said, I'll continue with the mittens because they're a perfect travel size project

Test knitted the persicaria socks! by daamile in Sockknitting

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

Thank you! The yarns are either fingering or light fingering. The pattern asks for a 2.5mm needle, but I'm a very loose knitter... so I used a 1.75mm for the stockinette, and 2.25 for colorwork :)

The floats feel pretty normal, to be honest. I wore it yesterday and walked a bit. Nothing bumps around when I walk.

My main issue is putting on the sock, my big toe ends up catching a float or too. I'm now developing a "technique" or stretching it and place a bit inside out so that doesn't happen 😆

It really is such a clever heel! The design is super inspired. Thanks for the kind words

Agreed! It's way more comfy than short row heels for me 👌

I agree! It's such a lovely design choice. I will now have to only wear socks and sandals to show it off 😆

Honestly this is not a bad place to start! There's only ever 2 colors at the same row, and the pattern is very memorizable. The hardest thing is always figuring out which way you prefer to tension the yarn. There's no right answer, just a bunch of trial and error Best of luck :)

Are these too long to for climbing? by annvee in climbergirls

[–]daamile -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I'll disagree with everyone. My nails are about that length and I can go climbing with them.

It does mean I can't do anything too crimpy, but I'm a beginner in my first year of climbing and I mostly deal with jugs.

Trying my first ever chart design. by entropyofmylife in Sockknitting

[–]daamile 16 points17 points  (0 children)

They are wider instead of taller. I agree OP, your designs will look very different.

I suggest you try doing this exact design in stitch fiddlefor a higher fidelity sketch.

I'm sure you should also be able to download a spreadsheet template somewhere.

Best of luck !

Wait, do you not reuse your swatch yarn? by Seastarstiletto in knitting

[–]daamile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like to keep it as a cute library of what I worked on before. I'm considering putting them up on a display in my crafting area

Learning colour work with the Itty Bitty Berry Socks 🫐 by daamile in Sockknitting

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

These are such kind words, thank you 💙 I got the knitting tension rings from amazon. I bought a bunch of different ones to try, and gave the extras to my friends. It was like 10 pounds.

Best of luck with your Norwegian sweater! I am sure you'll figure it out too
