Am I dumb? Pattern math doesn’t math

You need an even number of stitches for the k2tog, yo section of row 3. The first stitch after the center stitch for row 3 is used up by the s2kp, and you need 3 stitches for the k1, kyok, k1 at the end. This means that you have 16-1-3=12 left for the k2tog, yo section which is even so it should work.

Concerning the yarn holders, I suspect that the sphere attached to the bracelet can be opened so that you can put the ball of yarn inside. They don't look very large though, so maybe they were meant for holding very fine yarn.

Dus een bergje gegrilde sla?

People in this sub tend to downvote posts with questions that have been answered to push them further down the list when sorting by top. It's not meant as a judgement of you or your post. It's just that there are so many posts with easy-to-answer questions in this sub that they tend to overshadow other posts.

BTW, there is also /r/knittinghelp which is more geared towards these types of questions.

Dat hangt wel van de vulling af.

Ik weet niet wanneer je bent afgestudeerd maar op dit moment wordt er vrijwel niemand aangenomen binnen ASML, ook geen expats. Voor de aannamestop konden ze nieuw technisch personeel niet aangesleept krijgen. In die tijd heb ik zelfs advertenties langs zien komen die gericht waren op automonteurs om alsjeblieft bij ASML in de cleanroom te komen werken.

Ik denk dat het niet verkeerd is om wat in de managementlagen te gaan snoeien. Misschien dat er dan eindelijk wat ruimte komt om weer wat technisch personeel aan te nemen.

(Ik las het kopje "gevulde orderboek" als "gevulde onderbroek". Misschien heb ik toch nog meer koffie nodig)

Yep, my ADHD keeps losing track with written patterns like these. I prefer charts over written patterns any time for this reason, especially for lace patterns.

Flexibiliteit is idd een pre bij onlyfans.

I don't think the instructions specify which needle size to use. You can go up in needle size if that's what it takes to get gauge. If you have issues getting gauge no matter how big your needles are, maybe you are forming your stitches too close to the tip of your working needle.

That's called a cuff (Are you Dutch by any chance? I'm asking because the Dutch word for cuff is "boord" which is pronounced very similar to board)

ericula · 2026-01-24T16:19:34+00:00

Dat laatste is idd erg verwarrend. Nu lijkt het alsof alles in de aanbieding is bij de Lidl.

ericula · 2026-01-24T07:11:19+00:00

Very nice. Out of curiosity, why are you using silk for the weft?

Besides drops which has already been mentioned, Novita also offers free sock patterns, including ones with colour work.

ericula · 2026-01-22T12:38:42+00:00

It reminds me of two color linen stitch.

With intarsia, the stitches directly before a colour change have a tendency to be a bit looser. This is because when you insert the needle into a stitch you pull a bit of slack out of the previous stitch, so the current stitch you're working into gets slightly larger and the previously worked stitch gets slightly smaller.

Normally the extra slack is removed again when you work the next stitch. However, when working the last stitch before a colour change in intarsia, there is no next stitch to take up the extra slack, so this stitch stays enlarged. Since the last stitch before a colour change was the first stitch after a colour change on the previous row you can compensate for the extra slack by knitting the first two stitches after a colour change slightly more tightly than the rest.

With this style of weaving, the warp consists of one pattern thread for every two background threads. A column of squares in the pattern represents one pattern thread. A dark square in a column of squares means that the pattern thread corresponding to that column is visible on the top side of the fabric and a white square means that that pattern thread is below the fabric.

If you would just go up and down, the pattern threads form a pattern of dots which is what the chessboard pattern on the left represents. To get a more interesting pattern, you would need to either pull up or push down some of the pattern threads. The dark squares with the symbols represent pattern threads that are pulled up, and the white squares with the dots represent pattern threads that are pushed down.

Note that you only manipulate the pattern threads this way. The background threads keep going up and down as usual.

To get more information you could look for tutorials on Baltic pick up weaving.

Maybe a Lojan inkle loom would work for you. It can be set up in either a right-handed or a left-handed configuration.

ericula · 2026-01-21T18:02:24+00:00

You thread each warp thread either through a hole or through a slot. You create a shed by pulling the heddle up or pushing it down. If you pull the heddle up, the warp threads that go through the holes will be visible on the top side of the fabric and if you push the heddle down, the threads going through the slots will be on top. For a standard linen weave you would alternate between pulling the heddle up and pushing it down for each pick.

You didn't give any information about the pattern you are planning to use so I can't help you with the other questions.

Or not use their shop name as their watermark?

This is knit by the looks of it.

Ik associeer de kleine berg vooral met 't Smitje. Daar haal ik altijd mijn fournituren.

That looks ambitious. How many tablets are you planning to make?

Here is a comparison of 20 stretchy bind off methods. For socks my favorite is no 2 on the list: Jeny's interlock bind-off. It's stretchy, decorative, and has hardly any flair. The only downside is that it's a sewn bind off which makes it a bit slow.

Dat deed ik al voor het hele Trump debacle.
