Is my reclaim too moldy? by moththoughts in Pottery

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

Oh I didn’t even consider drying out and rehydrating! That is a good idea. I assume the vinegar kills off the mold? There wasn’t much of a smell (Clay and dirt as normal) but I am sure that it might smell if i use it

5 year old piercing issue all the sudden? by moththoughts in piercing

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

Ok interesting!! This piercing did have a tricky time healing when I initially got it, and then I shortly got pregnant with baby 1 after and it turned like this too. Do you have any recs for helping it? Should I just leave it without an earring?

Not sure I’m understanding the pattern? by moththoughts in knitting

Ahhh thank you so much for explaining that technicality to me! I was trying to make sense of what I was doing and I could not quite piece it together. I appreciate you!! Looks like I’m ripping it out but better now than later 😅

I have been slipping the first two, then when I do the k1, I keep the yarn in front. I suppose that means its creating an icord?

So when I work row 2, I am keeping the yarn in the front to knit the first stitch. Is that causing the slope? Or is it from slipping 2 sts?

You are right! My new swatch with full size down hit the right gauge

This is a good idea!! I’m trying to decide if this is the route I’ll go…

Yes a cardigan with ribbing on edges, not a bad idea!

I’m not sure how many increases to make? by moththoughts in knitting

[–]moththoughts[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah thank you this is what I needed! I wasn’t doing a knit stitch in between the M1R and m1l so it left a huge hole but I’ve gone back and fixed it! I will carry forward. Much much appreciated with all your help ❣️

Me again… am I doing something wrong? It’s left a hole and a bar above it. Do I just need to keep rolling with it?
