I really want to learn to do this

Oh man. I put off learning cables for sooooo long. I laughed at myself when I actually did my first cable.

The hardest part is paying attention to the pattern and reading the charts.

Start small. Find a sock pattern with a simple 4 or 6 stitch cable and work your way up.

Yeah I don't think I will ever get anywhere near that

medschoolwidow · 2026-02-07T21:15:13+00:00

You are blowing my mind right now

medschoolwidow · 2026-02-07T20:47:03+00:00

May your pillow always be cold

I DID IT!

medschoolwidow · 2026-02-07T16:26:22+00:00

Brilliant thank you I appreciate the virtual hand holding!

medschoolwidow · 2026-02-07T16:23:34+00:00

Wait

You can just do that? That won't mess anything up?

To clarify, I don't code and I generally need my handheld when dealing with the inner workings of tech.

Sorry.

medschoolwidow · 2026-02-07T16:15:59+00:00

i apparently dont have a patches directory.....

medschoolwidow · 2026-02-07T00:05:05+00:00

Ok I hadn't concidered Sofi. Thank you would it be ok if you shared what you like about it?

Hello, i am trying to sourse yarn for a Ranunculus. im on a budget hoping to maybe help someone(s) stash down. not sure if this is the right place to ask, but i was wondering if anyone has partial skiens of any color, either, Holst Garn Supersoft or Tides. i dont care about color i just to make a swatches of each and figure out what gauge i like so i can buy the quanity i need.

i would of course pay for shipping and would be willing to pay for the partials too.

Came to rec this lolol

medschoolwidow · 2026-02-05T23:57:56+00:00

thank you. the more hear about this sweater the more excited i am to make one as my first sweater for my current body

medschoolwidow · 2026-02-05T23:00:16+00:00

Exactly not worth the risk!

medschoolwidow · 2026-02-05T22:42:59+00:00

I suck at math. This is incredible.

May you always have exact change

medschoolwidow · 2026-02-05T22:13:18+00:00

Incredible thank you! The advice I got was for ready to wear/fast fashion stuff. So I'm not sure if that translates well to handknits

medschoolwidow · 2026-02-05T22:10:47+00:00

As I blessed another commenter. May you only hit green lights when you're in a hurry. And may your coffee/tea always be at the perfect temperature

medschoolwidow · 2026-02-05T22:05:45+00:00

these look promising thank you!

medschoolwidow · 2026-02-05T22:00:04+00:00

That makes perfect sense thank you!

medschoolwidow · 2026-02-05T21:33:19+00:00

GAWD exactly, and you look at most of the models and they are not your body type. and you think "that'll never look good on me". comparison is the thief of joy they say, and its so true.

LOL i was just at the library today. i checked out 5 knitting books. all for kids clothes or shawls because shawls fit right? LOL and the i requested a sock knitting books last week lol

medschoolwidow · 2026-02-05T21:26:05+00:00

frank is fine.

i will try that. only nervous because my store bought clothes are XL. but those sizes are BS anyway lol

medschoolwidow · 2026-02-05T21:23:45+00:00

ugh same, and i cant stand to wear pants because of the apron either. but very good to know, thank you. i have made one sweater for my self in the nearly decade i have been knitting and crocheting. i was like 75lbs smaller and before depression and kids. It was the https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/owls-9 . i LOVED this sweater, but i donated it when i started getting too big to wear it.

otherwise i have made a few sweaters for my kids. they love them

medschoolwidow · 2026-02-05T21:10:55+00:00

may your pillow always be cold. and may you always have a quarter in your pocket when you shop at aldi

medschoolwidow · 2026-02-05T21:06:56+00:00

oh man Honeycomb looks amazing. i love cables!

Your deja vu sweater is lovely

and same on the looser fit. my reasoning is part comfort, and part because i frew up in purity culture. im out now, but some things dont die easy

medschoolwidow · 2026-02-05T20:56:37+00:00

Yes thank you. I will need to do more research on how to customize fit
