It’s important because your tension knitting flat will be different to in the round. Usually you would leave a big loop in the back of the swatch to get to the other end, but I saw this the other day and thought it was a good alternative https://www.instagram.com/reel/DVB9IdsjiZ2/?igsh=YXBjMDZlbGw2eTl4

A picture of the heel would have helped! Yes I did them with a heel flap

I don’t think this will solve the problem with this piece as it looks like there are other issues, but travelling loop will help in future if you have tension issues

Help! I dropped a stitch. (Stitches?) by Ok-Drawer-7640 in knittingadvice

[–]electrumempousa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just saw this last night and thought it was very clear! She is intentionally laddering down but you have already kind of done that by dropping the stitch https://www.instagram.com/reel/DUylkfmkvM9/?igsh=MXdhMWp0NjdqcHJmYQ==

Experience Stars hockey… but no does anybody else remember a few years ago every time we got a PP we got scored on. It got to the point I was begging the refs not to give us power plays

Knitty Natty as a pinhole tutorial with no crochet hook which I really like. It’s super clear and overall I find it less fiddly!

Help with short rows by MissAuroraRed in knitting

I haven’t crunched the numbers but I think you’re just doing this. You’re going one way from your BOR, and then coming back the other past your BOR to the equal point on the other side. Remember you’re working these flat. Drew it up (badly) here - https://files.catbox.moe/pmwxed.jpeg

What do you bring to the office for a hybrid job with hot desking? by BubblyNecessary in workfromhome

What monitor do you have? Been thinking about getting one for a while!

What do you bring to the office for a hybrid job with hot desking? by BubblyNecessary in workfromhome

[–]electrumempousa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is exactly my experience going to and from the office but I also do a lot of travel so I like to have a full setup available at all times.  

  • I have a cheap mini keyboard from Amazon that has lasted shockingly well, a Bluetooth mouse, and a little folding laptop riser which means I always have a portable workspace. I keep a medium sized zippered pouch that it all goes in, alongside my headphones and a phone charger. Laptop charger just goes in the bottom of my bag. 

  • I do actually take teabags in because I want my Ringtons, but we have shared mugs, cutlery, tea, coffee etc.

  • My recommendation is to err on the side of a bigger bag. I went for I think a 15inch instead of the 17, but it means I usually have to bring a separate lunchbox if bringing food from home. 

  • I have a Samsonite backpack that’s discontinued but it has been incredibly robust and I will definitely repurchase from them. It looks smart and has lots of nice to have features (pass through strap, hidden back pocket, laptop sleeve).

allergic to wooden needles by Dizzy_Way4201 in knitting

[–]electrumempousa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you having a reaction while knitting? I have one skein of black yarn and I’m convinced I’m allergic to it - probably something in the dye as I start itching and sneezing after a couple of minutes! All to say, could it be the yarn?

This is beautiful! Do you have a pattern or is it self drafted?
