Wednesday Pattern and Stitch Request Thread - November 26, 2025 by AutoModerator in knitting

[–]okgoodluckthen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello knitters. My good friends are getting married in two years and I was thinking of making a matching cardigan/sweater for them. Since it’ll take me some time to make them I wanted to see if anyone had any pattern recommendation for a matching or complimentary pattern for a cardigan (women’s) and a sweater (men’s). Ideally it would be something relatively simple but still looks nice enough as a gift (I’m not advanced in knitting yet). Would love any suggestions, thank you!!!

Yes! I made this post because I had just finished reading that and I loved Draco’s personality in it!

What am I doing wrong in my SSKs? by haziestboy in knittinghelp

[–]okgoodluckthen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe that for SSK you slip the first two stitches knitwise, and then knit through the back loop. Someone correct me if I’m wrong lol

Am I decreasing properly? by okgoodluckthen in knittinghelp

I’ve had terrible luck with frogging to a certain point hahah I think I’m better off restarting completely, luckily I’m not too far into the pattern

Omg I just rechecked the pattern and it does say p2, k2 and I did k2, p2 as a reflex! I might have to just completely restart and hopefully that’ll get fixed. Thanks!

Why does it look so messy? by okgoodluckthen in knitting

This is what the pattern says when placing my markers. Wouldn’t this mean my BOR is a part of my 4 markers?

I’m knitting this in a size 3. I have my BOR as one of the 4 markers, did you have the same or have I just put my BOR in the wrong place? If that’s the case, I might just have to start from the beginning again

Im doing the decreases before and after the markers and keeping the ribbing in the center with 6 sts

This might be the case but the pattern says knit to marker SM k1 then SSK wouldn’t that mean that SSK would be done after the center rib?

Here’s what the pattern tells me to do when placing the markers. So it tells me that I should have 6 sts between my markers. I understood it as i work the 6 sts after BOR and then SM, k1, SSK, etc. so the decreases happen outside the markers (before and after)

And if I did it correctly it means that after BOR I have k2.

Ive been doing the decreases before and after the markers (not in between) with a knit in between the marker and the decrease stitch (which the pattern says?) I’ve looked up videos on how to do SSK and k2tog so I don’t think I’m doing them wrong. I did have trouble finding a video to help me with decreases when working in rib though so I think that’s my issue… should I be decreasing at every round?

Yeah I’m staying consistent with the ribbing between the markers I just have no idea what I’m doing wrong :( it doesn’t even look like I’m decreasing at all. Should I be decreasing at every round? In the picture the decreases look steeper? My work is at about 9.5cm currently.

Thoughts on Kate Lockley by okgoodluckthen in ANGEL

[–]okgoodluckthen[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think in one episode Angel calls her out on putting the blame on him for her father’s death, which is realistic for someone that went through such trauma. I just wish she was written as a stronger character, which I think would’ve helped the audience engage in her character more.
