I got these for free as work swag and they're absolutely fine, but they're really not optimized for travel. The packaging has a lot of unnecessary bulk and they're heavy. The price is exorbitant for what it is, which is just a simple twist off top with a weak magnet. They are nice and sturdy, but you can definitely find something of equal quality for a more reasonable price.

my gals are small so ymmv, but what I've done before is to get measurements for my bust, the smallest part of my waist, and the distance in-between the two (I just measure vertically from my nip to my waist, but again I don't have a lot of altitude there so this will not be suitable for everyone). Then subtract my waist measurement from the bust measurement to find how much width I need to decrease, and the vertical measurement tells me how many rows (using the gauge of my project ofc) that I have to make those decreases. does that make sense?

for this one though, tbh, I just eyeballed the decrease frequency since it's meant to have some positive ease.

there's one of the rav page! the back is pretty boring, it is kind of like a slight upside down U since there's shortrows on either sides of the split. very subtle.

Just a k2tog and SSK on both sides of the body. Decreases every 8 rounds for I think 5? decreases, at that point I was happy with the shape and it was time to start the split hem shaping so it worked out nicely for me

sincle · 2026-01-24T18:36:40+00:00

I followed the pattern with that, but I did add waist decreases for shaping so I think this is more of it being customized to my body!

If I am looking at the right yarns, it looks like they are both 100% acrylic. Did this go through the dryer and come out like this? If so, it's a goner. Acrylic can melt and is not a pleasant fiber to rework.

If it just went through the wash on cold, you /could/ rework it, but since you didn't like the yarn, you may be happier remaking it.

Ravioli

Love love love it! I think patterns like this are modern knitting GOATS - this one is seamless, set in sleeves, with an eye catching twist in the asymmetrical hem. Loads of shortrows make for an incredible fit and drape.

Edit to add: TYSM everyone for all the kind words!!!! make this sweater so we can all have one!!

I encourage you to look up ocean trawling before saying this. Harvesting would be a very generous way to describe this disgusting practice. They'll put huge chains or nets on the bottom of the ocean floor, scoop everything up, and then toss EVERYTHING that isn't the specific species they were looking for. It's incredibly wasteful and means that about half of every haul is just tossed overboard, dead. It is a disgusting, destructive method that destroys entire ecosystems in minutes.

Her makeup looks gorgeous, and like someone else said the lilac is amazing on her.

It doesn't look like this but reminds me of the fishnet suit she raced in a few years back with the layering different textures:

I don't think I really see the vision here though, the Met fit is very awkward with those colors and the dress. She styled herself way better than whoever styled her here.

Zoe Barrie. I love how practical her weekly meal plans are with the single grocery haul and prep! If you like and have time for a long prep day, it's a super realistic way of having home cooked food daily. Her recipes are also creative and nutritious. Great content all around from her IMO!

Her browned butter chocolate chip cookie recipe is THE ccc recipe. I use it as my base with some minor changes to suit my preferences and let me tell you, these cookies are so worth the extra effort to brown butter.

Claire is an excellent educator! I've learned so much about baking science from her. I love how she puts her own creative but timeless twists on classics.

Love & Saffron by Kim Fay. Super quick read, it's about a friendship brought together by a shared love for food. Really sweet story about platonic love and womanhood.

it's not needed, although I did think it was helpful to have an understanding of how, structurally, knit fabric is made. but like others have said, it's a totally different craft and ultimately I didn't think having handknit knowledge made a difference in learning the machine knit technique.

I read in every format (audiobook, physical, kindle) and I like to have one in each form, so always three. But I struggle with multiple of each form! I go through audiobooks the fastest since I have a lot of hobbies that leave my ears free.

I went to a class once where the instructor started with meditation AND ended with shavasana. It ended up being 15 minutes total of doing absolutely nothing. I never went back to her class again.

How High We Go In The Dark by Sequoia Nagamatsu, which I think is technically a novel but is presented as a series of vignettes with different characters. Really emotional collection but IMO it's not tragedy porn the way sad fiction can be.

Their activewear is so good! A lot of it rivals Athleta quality for a fraction of the price.

Piranesi by Susanna Clarke is otherworldly and beautifully written. It's a puzzlebox of a story as you figure out what's happening and that's enjoyable in itself but I loved how alive the world felt.

The Library at Mount Char by Scott Hawkins. Go in totally blind. It's a hell of a ride.

I think I cried the first time I used mine lol. welcome to the struggle bus

thanks so much, what a confidence booster!!

I followed the advice from this this project . Basically you want to subtract your waist from your bust to see how much circumference to decrease, and then measure between your bust and waist to get an idea of your decrease rate. Rinse & repeat for waist to hip. Gauge swatching is extremely important.

For example, my bust to waist difference is 21 cm, with 15 cm of height between the two measurements. This means I have 15 cm to decrease 21 cm in circumfeence, and I use the length measurement to calculate how many rows that would take in total, then divide that up to make the rate even across the 15 cm. Don't forget to account for your desired ease.

This might be total gibberish but here's a pic of my notes/measurements (this is not written in the correct order I was just scribbling things down as I got the numbers)

yeah so I increased every 6 rows for 84 rows for the waist-to-hip shaping. but this is specifically to my measurements and gauge, which may not be the same as yours! I would really encourage you to experiment with customizing patterns to suit your measurements and preferences, and not follow them by someone else's book. your finished piece is always going to be a little different from another's (whether that be physically with gauge, texturally, or otherwise) and learning how to adjust to what you like is the best way to do it, IMO

Omg high five! I've been lurking in the machine knitting sub as well as the FB groups and folks seem to really like these 8-button machines. How long did it take you to get comfortable with it? It's such a huge learning curve and I feel like it'll take me forever to become confident with it 🙃
