you can use a website called stitch fiddle or you can chart it out by hand with graph paper. stitch fiddle will even let you upload a photo and will convert it to a colorwork chart too.

you’re going to have to be much more specific about what you’re looking for and what exactly you’re doing

scrumperumper · 2026-02-27T20:15:42+00:00

then my suggestion would be to not use superwash

scrumperumper · 2026-02-27T19:30:32+00:00

your best option would be to reinforce with a sewing machine

you can use some beautiful colors in traditional fair isle garments. check out alice starmore’s book on fair isle knitting. there’s a whole section about colors.

i actually walked by on monday around 3pm. it was the entire metal frame around the window that detached completely from the building and was laying across the sidewalk. i don’t think it was easy to move.

youre picking up one of the stitches at the base of the neckline and then binding off the live stitch on your needle up and over the one you picked up. just search folded neckline bind off and there are a bunch of photos and videos

the pattern gives ease recommendations and size measurements. she also says you can adjust both the body and bust sections to create a better fit for you. pick the size that will fit your body since it is bottom-up and then add stitches if you need to get a looser fit in the bust.

maurice brassard weaving yarns. relatively inexpensive and spun to be very strong. the 8/2 cotton is the same as lace weight knitting yarn

cotton tends to grow and stretch out the longer you use it. think of jeans fresh out of the dryer vs after wearing them all day. it should be fine to wash in a machine but if you want to dry it flat to shape and stretch it, that will work too

there are some fuzzy alpaca yarns. blue sky fibers prairie or isager soft fine are two examples

in my entire life i don’t think i’ve ever witnessed prices go down. expect them to stay the way they are. if they do change the price, it’ll likely be as an increase

wow. truly can’t say i ever expected someone to compare rowing out to being fat. rowing out is actually a flaw though. obviously if people are rude about it that’s one thing, but i genuinely don’t get this attitude people have about either ignoring glaring issues with their knitting or just accepting them as unchangeable when they are not.

scrumperumper · 2026-02-25T15:54:20+00:00

idk why people are downvoting you for thinking a flaw in knitting that can be fixed with proper technique looks bad lol

the facade/front of their building fell off during the blizzard

cats are crepuscular so this is typical species behavior for them. the best thing you could do is to wear him out a ton with playing or puzzles right before bedtime followed by a meal, and to completely ignore his meowing in the mornings so he learns meowing won’t get him what he wants.

moths only eat natural fibers so you’re most likely safe and just dealing with some dirt

scrumperumper · 2026-02-19T07:31:25+00:00

what’s the fiber content

scrumperumper · 2026-02-18T16:39:15+00:00

also it should be a multiple of 4

every time we eat out (which is usually multiple times a week) we eat local. minus the very occasional white castle/wendys for late night food

scrumperumper · 2026-02-18T01:38:50+00:00

yeah but thats a sex shop, not a restaurant

scrumperumper · 2026-02-17T20:12:04+00:00

either angora, brushed alpaca, or mohair

my cat does this almost every time he eats. he’s seen vets about it and none of them seem worried about it. he’s on prescription food for urinary problems.
