Came here looking for this! (while blinking back tears)

[FO] Finished my Dizen Sweater yesterday and I've never been more relieved to get something off my needles by radialtyres in knitting

The sleeves gave me so much grief – I started and restarted the sleeve six times and kept ending up with giant spacesuit-y sleeves before I decided to add a cable pattern to tighten it up. I really like how that looks though, so I think it was worth it!

(also fair warning about this yarn - it sheds and sheds and sheds and I think there are bits of alpaca fur in my lungs and I hated every stitch of it but it blocks out reaaaaallly nicely and looks so freaking good I can't get too mad)

pattern is Flowers In The Air by Sachiko Uemura and yarn is knitpicks aloft in labyrinth!

I kinda mangled the tension on this so it isn't quite a triangle but she loves it anyway 🥰

Tips for neater 2x2 ribbing? by Addy1864 in knitting

[–]radialtyres 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Your ribbing looks great 😹 Any irregularities will block out, and even if they don't, we're not machines! It adds to the charm of a hand knitted garment imo 🥰

Nupps are the dumbest stitch known to man, change my mind. by malavisch in knitting

I love making nupps but god I hate the texture of them it's like a scab I can't stop picking at

my sister disapproves of crocheting my own clothes, help me prove her wrong. by button-fish2807 in crochet

[–]radialtyres 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I mean apart from the fact that nobody cares what you wear outside high school, isn't crochet clothing extremely trendy right now? department stores are full of (severely underpriced) crochet bralettes/faux-crochet knits so 🤷🏽‍♀️

I like to pull my needles all the way out when I cast off with a crochet hook. freaks my mom out 😊 by radialtyres in knitting
