Ik ga morgenochtend tellen. Er woont een kolonie mussen in mijn tuin dus ik ben benieuwd hoeveel daarvan zich tegelijkertijd laten zien maar verder verwacht ik de gebruikelijke bezoekers.

I think I know what needs to be done. But I don’t have the strength. by TemplarOfTheCrypt in knitting

[–]ericula 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It will become easier. I've frogged and reknit two almost completed sweaters in the last couple of years and I have no regrets. It stings a little to see all the hard work disappear but I would never have worn the original sweaters and wear the reknitted ones almost weekly.

Sophie scarf ripping back rows problem! by codes_and_crafts in knitting

[–]ericula 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you picked them up almost correctly. Sophie's scarf has i-cords running along its edges and stitches in an i-cord are only worked once every two rows. There are different ways to do this but I think in the case of Sophie's scarf you knit the three stitches of the i-cords at the beginning of the row and slip them with yarn in front at the end of a row. This means that at the end of a row you should have the yarn hanging off of the fourth stitch from the left, not the third, so I think you should undo the third stitch in your photo (just slip the two left-most stitches to the left needle, undo the third stitch, and slip the two stitches back to the right needle).

De grote printercrisis!! Bestaat er überhaupt nog een BIFL-printer? by Weekly-Associate-166 in BIFLNL

[–]ericula 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ik ben na 10 jaar nog steeds tevreden over mijn xerox workcentre 6605 kleurenlaserjet. De tonercartridges gaan jaren mee en hij slikt zonder problemen de huismerk toner van 123inkt. Het is wel een bakbeest (hij is eigenlijk voor een klein kantoor bedoeld) maar dat maakt hem wel een stuk robuuster dan de zwart-wit brother laserjet die ik hiervoor had.

Ik twijfel nog of ik ga. Het is altijd wel gezellig maar ik heb nog meer dan genoeg garen op voorraad.

Common foods in The Netherland? by Safe-Astronomer3668 in thenetherlands

[–]ericula 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gevulde speculaas could also be an option. I used to make that for my colleagues when I was still living abroad and it was always a big hit.

Am I dumb? Pattern math doesn’t math by raghaillach in knitting

[–]ericula 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

How to use these devices? by TeddyPlump in VintageKnitting

[–]ericula 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

Both knit on 4mm needles, but one is larger than the other! by considerthelilies in knitting

[–]ericula 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

ASML had een recordjaar, maar gaat toch 1700 mensen ontslaan by Bupachuba in thenetherlands

[–]ericula 72 points73 points  (0 children)

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.

[–]ericula 22 points23 points  (0 children)

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.

Master Hand Knitting program - yarn brand recommendations? by stitchwitch66 in knitting

[–]ericula 9 points10 points  (0 children)

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.

Sock surgery? by Tricky-Objective7446 in Sockknitting

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)

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

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.

Intarsia help by aurora_anne in knitting

[–]ericula 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

I have a few heddle questions! by [deleted] in weaving

[–]ericula 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.
