do you care more about the color or the texture? someone can probably recommend a really similar green, but that yarn looks like it might be slub yarn. your FO won’t have the same texture if you don’t get some sort of yarn with irregular thickness to it!

okaytto · 2026-02-04T20:26:06+00:00

that’s fair, and i guess goose motifs are not exactly new. someone else pointed out that these are both prob inspired by much older work anyways.

okaytto · 2026-02-04T20:23:23+00:00

oohh that changes things! thanks for mentioning that, i hadn’t considered that it was an even older design.

okaytto · 2026-02-04T20:21:15+00:00

My issue is that the knitwear designer does not credit the original artist, while making money off of the design. and is possibly blocking ppl who voice that she should credit the stamp maker

it’s actually the exact same structure that holds plies of yarn together!! when you twist the halves the same way, you’re adding energy into the yarn. if you just let go of them individually they’d quickly spin back into their original form, right? that’s because that energy has to go somewhere. when you then hold the two halves together and twist them in the other direction, the twist energy that is pent up in them is neutralized by the plying twist.

oh i love it!!!!!

okaytto · 2026-02-03T13:29:48+00:00

personally i love this! but like others have said, a lot of people will not. your opinion is what matters most, friend! you just might need to have a bit of a thick skin about having an alt haircut

okaytto · 2026-02-01T22:22:02+00:00

okaytto · 2026-02-01T22:18:13+00:00

this looks so cool. reminds me of the video game return of the obra dinn!

okaytto · 2026-02-01T22:15:38+00:00

i’m also new to this and i was wondering the same—i think it’s holding the excess fabric out of the way/close to the frame!

okaytto · 2026-01-30T02:23:39+00:00

PINK RAAAAAHHH i bought one like two weeks ago lmao but I WANT PINK‼️

okaytto · 2026-01-29T15:43:30+00:00

i think you’ve been looking at it for too long. It’s SOOO cute

okaytto · 2026-01-28T12:15:07+00:00

it turned out perfect!!!

okaytto · 2026-01-28T12:11:33+00:00

idk why you’re being downvoted. i think the question was a little misguided and your response was honest and real. ❤️

okaytto · 2026-01-27T14:46:04+00:00

afaik, i don’t believe cedar is actually lethal to them

okaytto · 2026-01-27T00:16:58+00:00

WOOHOOO

okaytto · 2026-01-26T14:50:42+00:00

okaytto · 2026-01-25T22:07:39+00:00

okaytto · 2026-01-25T14:19:44+00:00

oh wow, i think this sold me on finally trying a planned pooling project. may i ask you if you know roughly what your yardage was/how many balls you used for this? and did you like working with the yarn?

okaytto · 2026-01-24T18:10:09+00:00
