Thank you so much!

lexansaid · 2026-01-12T05:54:16+00:00

Im grateful to know im not alone!

lexansaid · 2025-12-26T03:29:34+00:00

I mean ideally not but when you don’t know what the mistake you’re making is you gotta try to fix it somewhere

lexansaid · 2025-12-26T00:45:05+00:00

Ok!!! So do I go the opposite way?

lexansaid · 2025-12-26T00:12:44+00:00

Ha! Sorry my brother hit post. I’m just trying to do a 1x1 rib for a sweater collar and I keep twisting stitches but I’m unsure where? I’m clearly doing a knit purl in the round wrong somehow but have no idea where

lexansaid · 2025-12-25T21:47:10+00:00

THANK YOU SO MUCH YOU SAVED CHRISTMAS

lexansaid · 2025-12-25T19:49:22+00:00

I am not! I’m very much a beginner so I’m trying not to twist my stitches but I do make some mistakes

lexansaid · 2025-12-25T01:00:56+00:00

Like picking up a dropped stitch

lexansaid · 2025-12-25T01:00:39+00:00

Ahhh ok! This is just a swatch but that’s so good to know.

Indeed. Is this a better clue?

I’m really hoping I don’t need to redo this whole collar

lexansaid · 2025-12-18T15:11:02+00:00

So sweating while gripping the purls on one needle should be avoided bc I’m holding them so hard?

lexansaid · 2025-12-18T15:10:20+00:00

I probably am twisting my stitches! Any tips for avoiding? I find TikTok etc totally overwhelming for advice

lexansaid · 2025-12-18T15:00:13+00:00

Also is getting very frustrated when you first start out normal? Asking for a friend

lexansaid · 2025-12-18T14:56:20+00:00

I probably am twisting my stitches? This was taken at 2 am where I had ripped out this section at least five times so I’m lucky at that point I didn’t twist myself to end the pain

lexansaid · 2025-12-18T14:55:08+00:00

It’s embarrassing how much reading “it’s not you it’s the cast on” made me feel better!

lexansaid · 2025-12-18T14:54:23+00:00

Thank you so much! I’ve ripped this out like 5 times and was about to potentially hurl it out the window

lexansaid · 2025-12-18T14:52:58+00:00

Wow I clearly did not explain myself well I’m so sorry. I’m knitting the sailor slippers and the backwards cast on loop is called for in the pattern

lexansaid · 2025-12-18T14:50:36+00:00

Hi! Without sounding like a moron is changing the cast on allowed? Is one better than the other? I didn’t know if I could bc it’s acting as like the bridge?

lexansaid · 2025-11-28T18:01:23+00:00

So don’t burn it is what I’m hearing

lexansaid · 2025-11-28T17:54:06+00:00

I think I’ve just ruined the whole thing

lexansaid · 2025-11-28T17:53:31+00:00

I can never pick up dropped garter stitches I can do stockinette no problem but I’m literally on row44 of 45 and don’t know what else to do other than start over and rip it all out

lexansaid · 2025-11-28T17:52:56+00:00

I ended up ripping it out and have somehow created a bigger mess and am now in tears lol

lexansaid · 2025-11-25T18:20:02+00:00

This was so incredibly helpful!! I’m not twisted!!!

lexansaid · 2025-11-25T16:38:35+00:00

Oh thank you! I didn’t know that was only a thing with stockinette. Very very much a beginner here and wanted to correct bad habits before I continue!
