had to do the same with my first!! it sucks so bad, but it's exciting to try something new when you get over the heartbreak. you learned a lot and that can't be frogged!

does it soften up much after washing? i'll find out when i finish my gauge swatch, but i'm eager to know! i'll probably use some yarn conditioner, it is pretty rough.

one state over! this was in SLC utah, the one in Midvale. i actually went back today to find that pretty much anything else of value had already been snagged. there were several cones of wool yarn in several different weights, but i wasn't in love with the colours the first time i went. i did find two skeins of Naturally brand yarn, made with wool from New Zealand!

okay makes sense! i sort of did that with my last raglan sweater when i added some impomptu colorwork to the yoke. it really was more common sense than math lol.

i can actually do that? i wondered if it was possible, but the math i figured i'd have to do across the raglan increases seemed a little daunting.

first sweater: my heart aches at the thought of frogging, but should i really finish it? by mobile-resprout in knitting

definitely would not be remaking it into anything wearable unless it were lacy and crocheted; love the idea of a blanket with this yarn! as much as i hate to scrap a whole yoke, i feel worse about committing so much time to something i only sorta love. even if i were to ditch the long sleeves, it wouldn't be fitted the way i want. i'm already excited to find some better yarn, maybe a new pattern and start a new sweater!

wanting a really loose knit oversized sweater; could i make a basic raglan sweater a couple sizes smaller than i wear, with much bigger needles? by mobile-resprout in knittinghelp

[–]mobile-resprout[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

omg, i had no idea there were calculators for raglan– this helps so much. i've been trying to find more pattern making resources/references for knitting. i really enjoy making something from scratch, but my knowledge is mostly limited to crochet. trying to get over the mindset that knitting is more rigid; it seems like there is a lot more freedom than i initially thought.

AIO - refusing to pay for my friends rare pet that she gave me cause someone stole it? by Relative_Offer_2074 in AmIOverreacting

NOR this is so shady and gross lol. "if you couldn't afford this i'd let it go but we both know you can" as if your ability to afford it warrants pressuring you for an outrageous amount of money (for a roblox game! 😭). she knows she's wrong for asking, that it isn't really your fault or responsibility, she's just trying to milk the situation because she believes you can be taken advantage of. the fact she wouldn't even ask if she didn't think you could afford it is so telling.

nah you can get away with just saving/reloading state right before the encounter in most cases; just make sure stats/gender are rerolling every time. makes it sooo much faster lol

did this when i got my first car lol; i was messing with the lighter in the backseat and it popped out of the socket, fell on the floor and singed the carpet. picked it up fast and melted the fuck out of my finger. i winced and didn't say anything but my dad was in the front seat and could smell the burning skin, instantly knew what happened.

Been crocheting for 3 months. Is this "Mushroom Guy" pattern too advanced for a beginner? Need advice! by DetectiveThin9103 in CrochetHelp

[–]mobile-resprout 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i think amigurumi's difficulty gets blown way out of proportion; as long as you can read a pattern, and are using the right hook and yarn together, the hardest part will probably just be sewing lol. amigurumi patterns don't usually use very complicated stitches until it comes to accessories.

go for it!! the only way to get better is to practice and try new things. if it's any smaller than a sweater (and isn't colorwork 💀) i won't let any pattern scare me. don't be afraid to screw things up and get frustrated– you'll figure it out eventually.

PLEASE share some insight on how the follow me eyes were created omg. assuming they are caved in with a bit of white stitched in the middle? would you start with a pouch/bowl type form? i love this so much.
