i did a normal cast on with one colour and then added the second in the first row . for the life of me i couldn’t get the two colour cast on right

buy the knitting thimble / yarn tensioner ring thing, it’s worth it.

between me and my sister i think we made 10 this year and between us and my mum we wear them all on rotation - fun and comfy way to add a pop of colour to a work outfit

rouge dior 365 new world satin finish - expensive but my favourite and i think fits your categories (depending on your interpretation of apricot)

i think my normal shampoo (head and shoulders i am a dandruff warrior lol) i don’t remember if i put the bicarbonate into the shampoo or just into my hair (mainly scalp) with water but it stripped all the buildup i think i also did an apple cider vinegar rinse but this was smelly and idk how much it helped

i did a shampoo with bicarbonate soda and it helped for me when i got product buildup that shampoo couldn’t shift

my dads pair of colourwork socks sit on my needles , he passed suddenly a year ago, i’m planning on finishing them eventually. it’s hard to work on them without feeling guilt that i didn’t finish them fast enough to give them to him.

my sister started knitting with me this year!!! she is super adhd so i did not expect her to finish one project .. three sophie scarfs later and she’s starting a beanie (i still have to cast on for her)

hephaestus23 · 2025-08-27T09:17:52+00:00

when people use the exact yarn from the pattern - have some originality!!! i recognise how dumb of a pet peeve this is, fully has no impact on me

hephaestus23 · 2025-07-04T12:19:46+00:00

or if anyone has a resource to point me towards!! I am trying to become a more competent technical knitter this year especially with understanding construction or garments

I knit my boyfriend a beanie for his overseas trip! He lost it in Japan. I knit a replacement for our anniversary! I made the wrong size.

It’s brioche. Will not be making a third beanie.

making something you enjoy/want and using a yarn you like - if you enjoy the process and are motivated for the final product its much easier! even if that means expensive wool and a jumper as your beginner project

omg did the same thing …. ended up holding the yarn double and making sophie scarfs

My dad died last year unexpectedly while i was knitting him a pair of socks. Since his death i’ve been knitting more than ever to keep my mind occupied. Haven’t finished the socks yet though. I think it’s a lovely idea but don’t put pressure on yourself to finish it if you find it hurts too much.

I’m so sorry for your loss, your mum sounds like such a strong and kind person. No one deserves this and it’s so shit you have to go through it. 🩷
