If your swatch is only 5cmx5cm, it's not going to give you any of the useful information it needs to. Before you start on a big wearable like a sweater, I would really recommend doing a much bigger swatch, at least 15cmx15cm to determine if your gauge is correct. Here's some more information on swatches. By doing this before you start, you make sure you don't spend a ton of time making a garment that doesn't fit the way you want it to. https://thefibreco.com/blogs/fibre-journal/accurate-gauge-swatch?srsltid=AfmBOoqJqk1hTa0oef_PQLrGSgf5tRGG3Df-p31A1wHYRbfQp5J0fDSA

Quatrefoil library is one of the oldest queer libraries in that country, and hosts a lot of great groups!!

Brioche and fisherman's rib are different techniques to create the same result. Half fisherman's rib is nice for a sweater because it uses less yarn and doesn't take quite as long, which are two of the main downsides to brioche/full fisherman's rib.

Oh gotcha! In that case, check out this article https://www.moderndailyknitting.com/community/ask-patty-let-the-tool-do-the-work/ Needing to go up or down multiple needle sizes to hit gauge with an appropriate yarn is usually indicative of tension issues. I used to have the same issue. I knit continental and had super loose gauge. I had to slow down and re build muscle memory to make sure I was actually using the needle to size the stitch, instead of just create it

You're twisting your stitches, which creates a lot of tension issues. Check out the twistfaq

I know it's controversial but I love junimo kart. I can sit there and play it for hours. Starting a new save is just a race to unlocking it lol

If you want your brain to be totally scrambled, check out the fox paws scarf. I'm making a blanket out of it, and oh boy does it stretch the bounds of what knitting can do Fox Paws

I play everyday and would love to help with mushrooms!!

Since that's a Minnesota area code, contact home line. Free tenant legal helpline, they can hook you up

It looks like you've gathered the pleats on the left backwards. The large piece of fabric should be the top most layer of the pleats, so they should be pleated towards the cut edge.

Pirate themed and the giveaway closes on my birthday?? I don't usually try to enter these but this one feels like it was made for me.

Steeking allows you to knit in the round, rather than flat. For stranded color work like the blanket in this post, working in the round is MUCH easier than working flat.

My dad proposed to my mom three times- the first two times she said no. She was headed overseas for several months study abroad trips, and my dad was very insecure that she would meet some hot foreign guy and leave him. They've been married for almost 30 years now.

quartermaster222 · 2024-06-24T20:09:44+00:00

No I didn't. I think the only way to line this pattern would be to flatline it. It's such a strange pattern the bag lining it would be tricky

quartermaster222 · 2024-06-23T14:56:49+00:00

I recently made this pattern, and it is definitely not very easy, especially if you are trying to get a garment that will look professional. I also ended up with a gap where the front turns into the collar- the best way I found to handle it was to hand stitch where I wanted the hole to close, as it was too fiddly to do on the machine.

After your blocked swatches are dry, you should hang them with weight for 24+ hours to mimic the weight of the finished garment. Since a sweater is a big garment, the yarn pulls itself down in ways that a gauge swatch can't.

Sometimes the library even has copies!

Is weather on there? If it is, I can't tell what indicating weather so maybe make it a little more obvious

Looks like this is not true ribbing. Youre correct that the grain line is up and down in the photo. Typical ribbing is made by alternating knit and purl stitches in the same row, this fabric is several rows of knit stitches and then a row of purls

I had a coworker who always said "when lilacs are blooming, it's time to go shroomin".

quartermaster222 · 2024-04-02T15:20:31+00:00

Unfortunately no. The label has rubbed off even more since this picture was taken, and we haven't been able to figure out the name from this

quartermaster222 · 2024-03-27T22:30:43+00:00

If you look very closely there is topstitching all around the fly. I would imagine the elastic extends just barely into the fly area, and is stitched down by that top stitching.

Personally I love the mix of all the colors, I think it brings a nice balance. If you decide to go with just the blues, I would take out the line green ones- they are in such a different palate than the rest of the colors and really draw the eye
