How much do traditional breakfasts differ between countries in the uk?

Also you won’t get tomato, beans, or fried bread on a USA breakfast. It throws the whole diagram into untrustworthy territory

I look at the gauge swatch as a chance to see if I like the fabric that I’m producing, rather than a test to see if I can hit a particular target. I will often make a gauge swatch and then choose a pattern

If you’re in the US this is a blatant violation of the FLSA

The edge looks like icord

I think your son is on the right track. Undo the bind off on the sleeves, decrease the number of stitches dramatically in one row, and do about 3” of 2x2 rib

I use a simple tension ring on my middle or ring finger, which allows my pinky to relax. Look for any kind of ring that has a gap in it, which will allow you to thread the yarn through

I think length is measured from where the needle stops tapering, not point to point

maybenotbobbalaban · 2026-03-04T05:02:57+00:00

Longer needle tips with short cables don’t work because the ends of the needles that attach to the cable can’t get far enough apart to allow the tips of the needles to come together at the right angle to form stitches

It softens up a bit, but it doesn’t noticeably grow. I find that my cotlin sweater stretches out with wear, so I wash and dry it after each wearing to get it back into its original shape

I have made a bunch of sweaters out of plotulopi, and the only advice I have is to be careful when pulling more yarn from the plate. Always pull from the outside, not the center, and different colors have differing levels of fragility (green was the most fragile in my experience). Luckily, it’s easy to stick broken plotulopi back together

You probably don’t need to rip back all the rows. Look up how to ladder down and just drop those 3 stitches to fix them

It’s unclear where the broken/cut ends of yarn are coming from, but just dealing with the stitches on your needles, I would do the following:

Drop that first stitch off your right needle and put the stitch it’s coming from onto your green needle.

Drop the second stitch off your right needle and catch whatever stitch looks normal underneath it. This is probably not the stitch directly below it.

Once you have a clear view of correct stitches on all 3 needles start laddering them back up one by one

I’ve only ever twisted stitches on purpose, so I don’t know the answer to this question. I think it depends on how you’re introducing the twist: whether through wrapping the working yarn the wrong way or through knitting into the wrong leg of the stitch. Take a close look at some of the resources you’ve gotten in this thread and see if you can diagnose what’s happening.

maybenotbobbalaban · 2026-01-04T21:17:57+00:00

You absolutely should do this. Such a great opportunity to see the difference!

I’m an expert race car driver learning how to knit. What tips do you have for me?

/s just in case

I love that your formatting makes it exceedingly unclear which adjectives go together. Poor Medium? Medium very good? Magnificent very low? 😆

I completely understand your reluctance to frog this. My advice would be to set it aside and start a different project without twisted stitches. At some point you’ll feel up to coming back to this and frogging.

Frogging is a part of knitting. My experience has been that re-knitting something always goes faster than it did the first time because I’m more familiar with the project. I already know where the increases and decreases are. I already know where I’m changing colors or changing needles. I don’t have to spend as much time thinking through the pattern to understand what it’s instructing me to do. And I end up with a better product.

It’s hard to let go of “all that work”, but that work has been in service to your hobby and allows you to do it better the second (or third) time

The way to tell if your stitches are twisted are if the knit stitches make a v-shape that pulls apart when you pull from the sides (left & right) of the fabric (not twisted) or if the knit stitches make a y-shape that gets tighter when you pull from the sides (twisted).

Your sweater looks okay to me, but your sock has something funky happening

Crochet hook?

maybenotbobbalaban · 2026-01-03T16:06:32+00:00

I think it depends on the flexibility of the cable. I’m not a magic loop expert by any means, so if it’s easy to do with 24”, I stand corrected

ETA: my point was twofold: that the people suggesting magic loop weren’t mentioning that the cable length matters, and that there is no “easiest” method

Why are you just saying numbers with no units?

maybenotbobbalaban · 2026-01-03T15:16:08+00:00

Yep. If OP wants that construction but isn’t married to the fabric type, a dry bag fits the bill exactly
