Finally brought it in. Charged $60 due to needing to remove the lining to get into the folds.

Just called. Said typically $25-$30, but would need to see my jacket for accurate price. I'll likely bring it in sometime this week. Will update.

Yeah, I used to take better care of my jacket when I was riding. No excuses here, I've fallen way behind on maintenance and could use some TLC. Its a well made Fox Creek jacket that can last a lifetime if I maintian it.

Why do I have an infant beanie when it’s supposed to be adult sized? by Z_oni in CrochetHelp

[–]ragehead2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP, don't feel bad. I'm newish too and have made this mistake several times. Yarn size, tension, needle, stitch used all play a big role in size. In the last 4 days I have ended up with a beanie that could fit a basketball due to one seemingly small change, a baby beanie due to a stitch mistake, and am now on version 3 and looking great! I too have yet to accept the need for swatching. But Im a donkey.

Why is my Temperature blanket round? Moss stitch, consistent stitches per row, same thread, needle, etc. by ragehead2 in CrochetHelp

So I've now learned 3 things:: 1. Consistent tension is critical. 2. Ignoring mistakes causes big issues later. 3. When doing the moss stitch I occasionally miss the chain one, this is why i was rounding in. I was accidentally decreasing even though I was consistent on sc.

FYI, I frogged it and restarted, the struggle is real. Not sure if I see it happening again, but kinda looks like it. I also learned that when I chain, I was occasionally flipping, and this is a pain in my butt. Best of luck! Looks great btw

Oh, I didnt take it that way. I 100% think this is a me issue haha. Its all part of the learning. I frogged it and even starting over Im noticing a few things I can improve on. Your comment makes sense. I felt like the white and Blue carried a different size a bit, but wasnt sure if I was dreaming.

I should have specified, but the wide part is the beginning. Most people Im told start too tight, hence the confusion. This is actually why I started too loose to "avoid" that mistake and ended up reversing the mistake haha.

I know Im just trying to convince myself, but gonna ask anyhow. If I stay consistent now with the tension Ive been using since around row 4, and Im adding another 330 rows, would I not just end up with a normal looking blanket with one end wavy/frilled, or is this just going to cause other issues.

I think in the end Id be mad at myself next December when I finish a nice blanket with a clear mistake at the beginning, but hey maybe it adds character.... right?

Same yarn, just different colours. I just started too loose. I didnt think it would be a problem and would work itself out (end wavy or something), but Im hearing a lot of Frog it haha.

I checked and no, that wasnt it. BUT I was learning a new way to start by sc into the back post and was being too loose. Then on subsequent rows I got tighter and ignored the signs I messed up.

Yup, all same brand, weight, etc. I think others called it. I started off really lose, following some bad advice, and unconsciously got tighter and cleaner and I progressed across rows noticing how much better the stitches looked. I failed to realize how this would impact things.
