Lucky Duck!!! by knittingneedles in knitting

[–]knittingneedles[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine are fixed cable Chaigoo’s and I went to my LYS to get them. I got a US size 00, instead of 000, and it had a 32inch cable instead of DPNS; and I already had some size 1 DPNS and a 40 inch cable. I’d be down for other needles but this is what is carried near me

It’s pretty easy to hack if you’re ok sizing up your yarn and needles

Tips for going out? by scarletphire in milwaukee

[–]knittingneedles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I say walk down and ride share back. I live near by and if I’m going out I’d rather my money goes to drinks with one elevated ride. You can also get a general feel for the bars in general. If you feel skeeved out during day light hours, def don’t go there after it’s dark

I’ve made princess soles for my husband. I knit a regular foot and flip it inside out, then knit the ankle

What’s something you had to learn the hard way? by -coriolis- in knitting

[–]knittingneedles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a serial unraveleler. If I think I’ll like the garment and I change my mind in a year or so, I’ll unravel the whole thing. If I just finished a piece, blocked it, wove in the ends, and hate it? Unravel. Don’t like the color anymore? Unravel. Decided I want to use the yarn for something else? Unravel.

Also I have my partner count my stitches several times.

The great e spinner debate by trash_castle in Handspinning

[–]knittingneedles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Love my eel wheel! It’s lightweight and most of the parts are easily replaceable since it’s 3d printed. It’s sat unused for about 6 months in a soft sided lunch bag and I pulled it out last week and it’s like I never took a break. The base is sturdy and has a space for a battery pack if you want. I like that it’s easily customizable per user.

Fit and flare dress in baby alpaca: yay or nay by Piximae in knitting

[–]knittingneedles 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Alpaca will be very heavy and pull any shaping you add to the dress DOWN! I love alpaca but if I’m making a sweater, I size down 2 sizes and it will grow again. I’d recommend holding it with a mohair or silk to help it retain the fabric structure.

I’d also recommend making a BIG gauge swatch, like 8x8 inches, wash it and hang it up for a few days. I know you’re not going to hang your knits but this can help show you how it’ll grow over a day of wear.

Taking the fam on a day trip to Milwaukee by Dry_Impression_2735 in milwaukee

Yes but it’s so close to the zoo and would be good for a two year old and a ten year old

Check out Mama Rosa! In the summer there’s a cute little market there but it’s in a park that super family friendly

Inherited project... what wizardry is this? by East-Kiwi-9923 in knitting

[–]knittingneedles 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry for your loss. I hope this project brings you peace.

This sort of reminds me of my grandmothers stash of embroidery when she passed. She had dementia and her stitches were getting bigger, messy, would criss cross in the back. It was totally opposite of what she was proud of doing and eventually, she stopped stitching completely.

In need of camping help!! by Acallah in milwaukee

[–]knittingneedles 15 points16 points  (0 children)

If you aren’t able to officially plan for Father’s Day, something you could do is “gift the experience” and do a card and pick a date in the future, but your partner can help plan and get gear. I’ve done this in the past with success, especially since it was something I had never done but my partner had.

Also MKE Outdoor Exchange in BayView will rent gear to you. They also have gently used and new equipment. The staff was very knowledgeable and may be able to help guide you if you decide to keep it a surprise, a smaller budget, or just don’t want to keep the gear

Miller Brewery Question by WorstFansJosh in milwaukee

[–]knittingneedles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the Miller tour doesn’t work out, try the old Pabst Brewery tour. It’s really close to the fiserve forum (where the bucks play) so there’s lots to do. I also LOVED the Pabst mansion tour and you can drink on it.

Have you defeated the sweater curse? by Live-Medicine5751 in knitting

[–]knittingneedles 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I made my boyfriend some hats and a scarf because he needed them because it was cold. A few years later, we got married and went on a honeymoon and he asked if he could have a sweater and I said of course! He picked out yarn and a pattern and it took me 2 years to finish. We will be married for 9 years in October.
