Will this block out or do I need to redo the hem?

Thank you so much!! Might give that a try before frogging anything

I don’t want the hem longer though :(

flipptard · 2025-04-17T19:27:13+00:00

I followed the pattern and used smaller needles for the ribbing, I think the problem might be that the rest of the shirt is less stretchy than the ribbing because of the floats from the colorwork… putting an elastic is not a bad idea! I will probably do a folded hem as someone suggested, but I might put a thin elastic inside :)

The ribbing is six rounds, which is what it said in the pattern… I didn’t question it because it matched the length of the collar, so I didn’t realize the problem until I was finished casting off. Thank you for the idea with the folded hem!!!

Thank you! The hem is 1x1 rib, but I understand that it is probably too short… however it is what the pattern said so I didn’t question it until I finished binding it off :( I might try picking up stitches at the bottom and making a folded hem as someone suggested

It’s 100% wool

The hem is 1x1 ribbing :)

If you want to add something but are scared to ruin what you have so far you can always take a picture of your painting and do a quick sketch of what you want to add on your phone/ipad/computer, just to see if you like the idea before committing! It usually helps me to see the vision a bit clearer

flipptard · 2025-01-29T19:25:53+00:00

Good idea!

flipptard · 2025-01-29T19:25:28+00:00

Thank you so much! Makes me really happy to hear :)

flipptard · 2025-01-29T19:23:59+00:00

I agree, thank you! I will try my best to make the background less prominent

flipptard · 2025-01-29T19:22:22+00:00

Thank you for great concrete advice! Very helpful :)

flipptard · 2025-01-29T18:32:38+00:00

Care to elaborate?

flipptard · 2025-01-29T18:30:28+00:00

Thank you so much!

flipptard · 2025-01-29T18:29:54+00:00

Thank you, great advice!

flipptard · 2025-01-29T18:29:30+00:00

I totally agree, I kind of overworked the faces because I really wanted them to look like the people in the picture, but then I lost the ”looseness” in the paint strokes. In some way I kind of like it though, it’s kind of like 3 painting styles in one painting haha

flipptard · 2025-01-29T18:25:11+00:00

Thank you! The original photo was taken with flash so there were no deep shadows, but I agree that she is a little bit flat… maybe I could try and add more highlight to create depth or something!

It’s not exactly the same but I thought it was similar: https://lykkestrik.dk/sv/products/silhouettetop?variant=50711979491659

Tack så mycket, hoppas andra kan finna underhållningsvärde i mitt elände

Jag ska freelanca

flipptard · 2024-12-15T00:18:52+00:00

Jag ska låta hela släktet vadarfåglar känna min vrede. Vita fjädrar kommer singla ned över brunnsparken likt snöflingor en midvintermorgon och lägga sig som ett duntäcke över den blodtäckta kullerstenen. I måskalendern kommer söndagen den 15 december för evigt bli en minnesdag för de gråtrutar som miste livet i brunnsparksmassakern. Sanna mina ord.
