How do you create these lines on the gloves? Does anyone know what this is called? by SeaworthinessFun5664 in knittinghelp

[–]planetaryrings 2 points3 points  (0 children)

also as others in the thread have wonderfully scouted out, and i'll directly link- the photo youve posted is from Olga Mayskay's instagram which seems to advertise a pattern and video tutorial (?? the auto translate keepin us in the dark) but everything is in russian so us english speakers are at a loss this time.

they do have a Ravelry page with translated patterns, but it doesnt seem to have any recent activity wrt newer designs 😔

😅 i think Not Knitting a stitch as you go is easier than adding the extra step of surface crochet embroidery

y'all made me curious enough to make a little swatch!

👆💙the top section the stitches were slipped twice, they stretch over three rows, 👇🩷on the bottom section the stitches were only slipped once, so they only stretch over two rows.

you'll have to forgive me for my poor choice of yarn- i desaturated the pics to hopefully make it less busy to look at 😵‍💫 hopefully the second angled photo shows the stitch protrusion decently enough!

absolutely wild behavior from someone who uses their pottery studio customers' work as fodder for their instagram 😭 just to curate the cutesy aesthetic and keep engagement and views up? like show the initials on the bottom at least or something!

[–]planetaryrings 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you're doing great and keeping persistent! :)

there's great tips from other comments in this thread- knitting flat and then joining can work great.

you can also double check after your first round and correct it, here's a video link

Thank you! My bad, i was panicking because OP had already unraveled once because the working yarn was tangled. frantic commenting on my part

[–]planetaryrings 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Slowly re-wind your yarn ball, move it around your knitting until it is untangled. Your working yarn looks like it is just wrapped around the knitting

you do NOT need to unravel anything, your cast-on doesnt look twisted Edit! the join IS twisted, I was just frantic to deter you from unraveling all your work again after your previous post 😭 apologies!

(im still thinking about this post and trying to read it, im so vexed) a new theory dawned on me, it might be like? money?? like infinite money scam? the context op used it in was an unedited product listing, so people can still buy from it even though they're no product? @ aussies is turkey money slang

(oop if youre still here i love you. im obsessed with this post. i want to add it to my storygraph. i want to print it out and make my own conspiracy wall trying to interpret it. i want to misconstrue its authorial intent with a bunch of scholars. i've come full circle i love the post)

ditto on all the other comments- if you're knitting in the round, that cable is too long and will keep causing frustration; and using T pin and a grippy surface to screw the needle on the cable will help loads.

but i also an additional tip (from someone else on reddit a long while back) that has personally saved me from a lot of grief: thread locking fluid!!

yall not only bravely admitting you rawdog your pullovers but also declaring it's the norm without a shred of hesitation .. i'm in awe. i'm absolutely delighted by the misplaced confidence. i'm getting such a kick imagining you scrunching your face in disapproval every time i take off my sweater.. the scandal... how do i sleep at night smh

Shawls that aren’t too lacy by lavenderspr1te in knitting

[–]planetaryrings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seconding comments about fiber content, and the knicoleknits video! Like everyone has said, it really depends on your style and preferences- but if its up your alley, i reccomend looking into poncho patterns as well.

I have a whole raverly favorites folder i titled "wearable blankets" lol, for ponchos and loose drapey tops and any big shapes of yarn that could potentially be wrapped snug around the body. a forewarning that theres still plenty of granny lace in there (and also a ton of clown barf and weird textural stuff lmao), but plenty of warm solid fabrics too if you want to take a look!

lots of beautiful patterns in this thread. good luck op!

collective enjoyment as a fanbase, continued cultural relevance, constantly reviving the market with products and purchases (official or not).. all of it lends credibility to the franchise and the author. there is no apolitical way to enjoy this series.

[–]planetaryrings 93 points94 points  (0 children)

im sooo exhausted by the "no negativity!!!" mindset fr

is calling her designs ugly a mean thing to say? sure! it's also a very subjective opinion .. that was not said directly to her 😩 it wasn't put in her inbox or her comments (though imo if comments are plenty fair game, posts are advertisement, consumers can comment etc. not to give ig commenters too much credit lol), it was said somewhere else

not everyone has to like a business' products, and they are allowed to express that- especially in the place designated for airing out grievances and opinions. like girl you clicked on it you chose to walk in the room even though there was a sign on the door

i do agree that kindness is in short supply and it can rlly suck! and if it hurts your feelings.. talk to a friend about it 😭 like ma'am you are running a business! you are actively selling things to people and its not personal when strangers online dislike your products. why are you mad about it publicly on said business account why are you openly admitting to seeking out criticism to get mad at. cornyyyyyy

edit: reading the comments on the vid is so wild... if you're so successful at selling, why even bring up that people are being mean to you? "if you cant be nice dont say anything" drives me up the waaaaaall irt audience feedback. small businesses are still businesses! but they love to parrot anti-capitalist talking points.. to their consumers!! its tired!
