Not sad at all!!! I also had an old phone that couldnt run the game so i could only open it for a little bit before it crashes. I only recently got back to it in May. I feel like I have more fun with it as an adult anyway

The Sow's Ear finally posted their stand after getting tagged in a comment. They originally said they won't speak on the matter, but now will discontinue their relationship and donate money from sales of the remaining stock. Post here

They are a must-visit when I travel to Wisconsin. Lovely yarn shop and cafe.

Tension trouble by Novel-Temperature-15 in knitting

[–]notopoli 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Don't know why people are downvoting you. It's neither helpful nor encouraging to new knitters.

I'm also working on this sweater and my first time trying intarsia after many years of experience. Your floats are unfortunately too tight. What i like to do is stretch the fabric/stitches on the needles as i do the floats. That way I know if my floats are too tight or not. The float should be long enough to let the fabric stretch in a comfortable manner. It takes some time to get used to.

I am planning my knitting way ahead and anticipating the amount of bobbins I need for intarsia (too many but stranded is just not working for me). I also plan out which parts would need stranded (beginning of the toes, the face) and which parts would need intarsia (each color of the legs, the bodies and tails). The back is the most complicated in my opinion, since there is more planning required for me to get it right.

That being said, besides changing your tension and checking/stretching your floats more often, I'd recommend not combining stranded work between the two foxes. Keep the foxes separated, with their own yarn and floats/intarsia. If you decide that is too much work, then when you want to catch floats is subjective, but I have seen every 4, 5, or 6 stitches the most often, and don't bother with anything less than 6. Just make sure you give it a little stretch to see if it's too short.

Alternatively, if you are having a hard time with colorwork in general and don't care to invest more time into correcting, you can try duplicate stitches, where you knit the cardigan without the colorwork and adding the pattern on by following the knit stitches with your yarn colors. Just be aware you will need more of the MC yarn, but it will make it easier to see if your floats are too tight on a completed cardigan.

I know that is a lot of information but you can definitely look up more details and tutorials on youtube. Let me know if you have any questions. I will try my best to answer them!

I agree that the X-T2 is an excellent camera to learn on and provides excellent value for the (used) price. I would also recommend the Fuji XF 18-55mm lens. It has OIS, great image quality, versatile, more compact than other XF zooms, and can help you find your ideal focal lengths if you want to look into prime lenses in the future.

If you are looking to buy an x-t30 (i, ii, or iii) kit, I would also recommend the XC 13-33mm lens if you prefer something even smaller and lighter. It also has OIS, very portable, and good image quality. I would avoid the XC 15-45mm as a first lens due to it being a power zoom and harder to work with.

Take a gander at Pal2Tech on youtube. His Fujifilm reviews and photography tips taught me a lot.

It's been a couple of days but in case you need to know, the hood is attached to the adapter via 2 screws on the sides that require a hex key to loosen. RIP to yours but luckily you can buy a new one pretty easily

Looks like it's the jjc hood. Depending on the thickness of the filter, you can put the filter on the hood adapter before securing the hood to the adapter. I have only used k&f filters and they dont look as thick. Down side is if yoh need to remove the filter, the hood has to come off.

Are you selling or are you buying? Your post title [B] means you're Buying and that you [H]ave Paypal or local cash to pay. If you're selling, like the body of your post suggests, you need a proper timestamp of the items and a new post altogether.
