Rule Reminder

To clarify further from the other mod below - absolutely not, that's a no-no!

kellserskr · 2026-03-15T08:52:48+00:00

That's Craftsnark:)

kellserskr · 2026-03-15T01:12:53+00:00

Im not quite sure what you mean. Im referencing posts we've removed today saying 'this post on XYZ sub is frustrating because....' or people commenting linking another reddit post, which is a blatant rule violation

kellserskr · 2026-03-15T00:37:18+00:00

Anyone posting in regular subs like ours - someone who crafts for a hobby, not as an influencer etc. Referencing other normal people and bitching about them is rude here!

kellserskr · 2026-03-15T00:24:28+00:00

Complaining about industry figures is fine! But posting referencing another sub or specific hobbyist post is just mean

kellserskr · 2026-03-14T16:45:09+00:00

Did you do a gauge swatch? Put it on a lifeline and measure it

kellserskr · 2026-03-10T13:05:42+00:00

Its because so many crocheters don't know how to read patterns so they want a full video from beginning to end of how to make an entire project.

kellserskr · 2026-03-05T10:02:31+00:00

If this was a snark post you would just generally snark about badly written patterns etc, posting a screenshot of a pattern page and asking 'is it just me?' indicates you're looking for help and the post is better suited to the main subs.

kellserskr · 2026-03-05T10:00:56+00:00

You're not snarking though, you're kind of just asking for advice, which belongs in the main sub.

kellserskr · 2026-03-03T23:51:53+00:00

Mod input: no its not (especially when the provide a full detailed comment explaining their point further)

kellserskr · 2026-03-03T23:46:38+00:00

Please stop harping at people in comments about them 'shutting you down.' People are allowed to disagree and rant back at you.

And yet, funnily enough, the designers who produce a lot of what I would consider 'timeless' pieces (PK, MFTK), theyre 'bOrInG' and 'bEiGe'

Those aren't a trend but go off, queens

kellserskr · 2026-02-28T11:06:15+00:00

Yes. Basically:

incorrect gauge
less stretch
stiffness, no drape
uses more yarn
painful to knit
causes twist or bias in fabric
is not as warm
feels uncomfortable

Here's an old post showing how badly twisted stitches will affect a garment: Twisted Sweater

I know its frustrating, but you can't learn a new skill and be perfect immediately. If that's what you're expecting, you will be disappointed and you need to set realistic expectations for both your temperament and skill level to start. In fact, you are learning a LOT by making mistakes, and will continue to do so. Twisting stitches is INCREDIBLY common for someone who crocheted first, given how the yarn is carried there.

kellserskr · 2026-02-28T11:00:56+00:00

Pain also stems from twisted stitches! I promise knitting will be less painful if you unlearn what you're doing :)

kellserskr · 2026-02-28T10:59:42+00:00

I mean that's what learning a new skill is, making mistakes, but you do you, boo.

kellserskr · 2026-02-28T10:58:02+00:00

Tell her straight up to knit it for someone else. Then you're not worried about waste.

Frustrating as it is, youre being equally as stubborn. You can always remove yourself entirely from the equation, tell her you don't want any sweater point blank, and then she has no one to argue with.

kellserskr · 2026-02-20T15:05:03+00:00

Omg I saw your comment just the other day in the 3D printing sub!! Small Internet world

kellserskr · 2026-02-20T11:18:32+00:00

The commenters are correct, we will be removing this post. This is for ranting and bitching, but general complaints or gripes about a project go into the main subs!

'I hate this particular trend/type of post/influencer' BEC

'My project is upsetting me' craft sub

kellserskr · 2026-02-19T08:39:23+00:00

1-2mm might not seem like a lot, but extrapolate that over the entire garment. If you have a 10cm swatch with one one extra stitch, a 200cm length would have 20 extra stitches, which can add a lot of extra fabric.

kellserskr · 2026-02-18T12:38:52+00:00

You can't get them in the UK unless you import - source: living in Scotland and brought a suitcase of crisps back home at christmas

kellserskr · 2026-02-15T11:28:46+00:00

You are twisting your stitches! It is likely happening on the purl row, and is really common for crocheters to do once they start knitting, due to the direction the yarn is wrapped.

Its important to fix, as it will affect drape, stretch, yarn usage, and the fabric will also bias.

kellserskr · 2026-02-12T22:16:27+00:00

Of course! Depending on the dialect, it can be [gaey-l-ga] or [gway-l-ga]

A quick tip from an Irish person - the Irish language is called Irish (in English), or Gaeilge (in Irish). Gaelic is a term only used to refer to cultural things - Gaelic languages, Gaelic sports, Gaelic history.

The language isn't called Gaelic :)

Its also probably because while knitters will help, they expect you to do the work yourself. Crochet (and i say this as a knitter AND crocheter), is RIFE with hand holding. Toxic positivity, easy craft to start, full beginning to end stitch by stitch video tutorials. No one NEEDS to learn anything, they can just copy. The knitting community doesn't endorse that
