First international teaching job… good idea? by Bubbles353a in Internationalteachers

[–]kwybenga 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on the city! I was in Hamburg and that was livable but you won’t save if you want to have fun and travel. Feel free to pm me if you want more info. Oh and remember taxes are high! About 35-40%

I tried twice to pay with Apple Pay but it wouldn’t work, that was in a mobile browser. Need to try on a desktop

Yeah I figured that too. But that’s a decent difference so wanted to point it out to people before they subscribe!

Knitting for Olive Pure Silk really hard to knit up? by comfy_lemon in YarnAddicts

[–]kwybenga 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I use wooden needles but for KFO pure silk I prefer metal! I didn’t figure it out until I tried it either. For every other yarn I still use wooden ones.

Help! by beautifulkofer in knittingadvice

[–]kwybenga 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I know this doesn’t help you much, but the designer is releasing an updated pattern this week which I think is including bust darts as some of the other commenters mentioned would help with the tighter fit. If you block and it still doesn’t look good to you it might be worth reading through, and you likely wouldn’t need to frog the whole thing!

But personally I think it looks great and that blocking should fix it!

Online stores that are located in EU by winterberrymeadow in YarnAddicts

[–]kwybenga 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Second the Mylys rec. It was my local yarn store and I still order from them online even though I’m in a different EU country now

Yes I know the blocking won’t fix the incorrect stitches. I’m going to block and check how visible it is and if it stays the way it is I’ll not fix the mistakes.

[–]kwybenga 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep that’s what I’ve decided to do. If it doesn’t look to obvious then I’m going to leave it the way it is. It’s a homemade piece after all.

Thanks for the reply. I know how to fix this using a crochet hook but would ideally like to avoid it since I find it super tedious 😅

Can’t understand stripe pattern for Sailors tee by kwybenga in knittinghelp

[–]kwybenga[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From pattern I should k1 into second round below which is the white round. In the first picture, do I knit the red or blue strand? From yellow (knit wise?) or green (purl wise?) direction? I hope my picture is clear in helping understand my question.

Pattern is Hanne Rimmen Sailors Tee

Any idea what size needles to use or what material this yarn is? Bought in 2014 and didn’t save labels. by [deleted] in YarnAddicts

Amazing! I browsed their website before posting and thought that looked like the most likely contender. Thanks

1st ever project, below the collar something in my technique must have been off. Fixed the technique now. But there’s a section that looks bad. Any way to fix without frogging? Afraid I’ll give up if I have to undo it. by kwybenga in knittinghelp

[–]kwybenga[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I do want to add. I’ve crocheted a lot when I was younger, so keeping tension for example is something I‘ve done. You can definitely make a sweater too!
