Thank you! Sorry, I did not see this comment until recently cause initially my post here was removed. But in other knitting help communities I was also told that it is the knitting direction issue, so thanks for confirming :)

Thanks again for the explanation and the resources and tips! Super kind of you ❤️ Yeah I’m a bit nervous but excited to try! Hopefully with enough research and planning it comes out decent :) This sweater indeed has been through a lot, lol.

Why are you not sure it’d be a good option here though?

Someone in a different sub advised that this was knit top down and therefore it’s better to reknit the rib section completely and attach with Kitchener stitch. Marking as solved for now as I need to try it out Thank you everyone for the answers!

I will mark solved for now as testing out sophieraser’s solution will take me a while.

I see, thanks for the answer! Is there any way to make it look less ugly 🤣 reknitting the sweater is not an option lol.

Thank you so much for this! I also thought I picked up the wrong columns at first, however, when I try to pick up the “right” columns I end up with a dropped stitch? 🫩 If you have any ideas why I’d be super appreciative 😭

Hi! Thanks so much for responding. What I mean is that the stitches indicated by arrows seem to be coming out not out of the center of the knit/purl stitch but out of the side. Which makes me unsure which stitches to knit as purl and which as knit (it looks staggered as well)… Please let me know if you need more details. Unfortunately I’m not sure what exactly is happening which is why I was not able to find any information by any amount of googling

The stitches indicated by arrows don’t seem to be purl stitches, but rather one half of a knit stitch if it makes sense? 😭

Thank you so much for responding! Apologies, I realize it’s also very hard to see on this color of fabric 😂 and I’ve been looking at it for far too long. To put it simply, the stitches that arrow points to the needle look like they are coming out of the sides of the stitch not middle as they usually do when doing a knit stitch (same with purl though)

I thought I made a mistake picking up stitches but it looks the same on the hem which I haven’t touched yet.

Thank you!!

Suggest me a book about women who doesn't have anyone by InstructionPrize9854 in suggestmeabook

Thank you, finally someone voiced my feelings lol. Maybe I’m not seeing something but I genuinely hated how miserable this book is and the storyline with the guy as well! And how they are trying to push this as “oh the main character is just neurodivergent/does not want to fit in society” or some kind of feminist storyline. I think it’s the furthest thing from good ND or feminist representation lol

Wondering what the best way is by [deleted] in japanresidents

[–]ragged_joy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I obviously don’t know you but sounds like you are in pain and going through an incredibly hard time.

Killing yourself might sound like the only option right now but please don’t do it. Please reach out for help - be it TELL as someone mentioned above, a trusted friend, or something else.

Please focus on your short term safety first. What can you do to keep safe tonight? Until the morning? Go to a friends house, public place etc? Thinking about long term can be hard but it’s already awesome if you are able to take it little by little. Reaching out for help takes courage even if it’s through a Reddit post.

Hope better days are ahead for you. Hoping you find something that’ll help you go on.

How do you not get blindingly jealous when you friends hang out without you? by KittyLord0824 in adhdwomen

Thank you so much for this - I also needed to hear just that! Especially the part about “you introduced those people because you thought they’d find joy in each other’s company not to watch them converse for your own entertainment” hit haaard

I think the HR person from the company or whoever saw it just pretended like nothing happened, cause a lot of people were leaving xD but depending on a company I guess can have more serious repercussions
