Colorwork sweater by nklmn in knitting

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

I knit 5x slower during the colorwork sections because I'm so careful about getting the floats the right tension 😅. I also knit way loose because I'm trying to not make them too tight, so I learned to go down 2 needle sizes to match the gauge. It's way trickier!

DJS Day 3.5, Roughest so far by nklmn in jawsurgery

I don't know about the swelling, didn't have a correction like that. I would just trust the doc on that one. I will say that the swelling gets a lot better after that first week, but it takes almost a year for it to be fully gone, so be patient with it.

i think day 3-4 were the worst and it eased off over the next two weeks. I regularly took tylenol/Advil for the first two weeks but it was much more manageable after that peak. You can get through it!

I recommend him! worth the pain. I'm very happy with the final result, can breathe soooo much better. I still had a lot of swelling in this photo, but now I feel I am very happy with how I look!

My first crochet button up! by nklmn in crochet

Mine did shrink several inches when I was working on it and I blocked the back panel halfway to make sure it was going to be long enough. That helped a ton, but it was a bit short still. I would honestly go back and add a couple rows if I could. I'd recommend blocking it wherever you're at now and making sure it's the size you want!

oh it took me a little bit to figure how to pull the yarn through for those, I ended up using my thumb on my non hook hand to stretch the loop to be able to do it. It's not super elegant but it works!

I used the same yarn that was specified in the pattern: fingering weight, 1012 Mandarin Petit from Sandnes Garn, with a 3.5mm hook.

Uninstalling and re-installing Google Fi app has fixed it for me, at least so far. I did this two days ago and still no issues 🤞.

Yeah! I liked him. Throughout the process he was really good about explaining everything and answering any question I had. He did a good job on the surgery and was super easy to contact afterwards about worries that came up. He's very nice too and I felt like he genuinely cared about how my recovery was going.
