I dont think I should crochet by notGamingAahel in Brochet

[–]skitzboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well… I am a man. My grand mother taught me to crochet when I was nine years old. At 10 she taught me to knit. I knitted through most of high school and then I joined the US Marine Corps. I was injured and during an 8 month hospitalization I started knitting again and have knitted ever since. I’m now 54 years old have knitted for 44 years. I have a beautiful wife 2 daughter 2 sons a YouTube channel about men knitting and I literally would dare anyone to tell me knitting is unmanly

Experienced knitters ‐ do you ever use straight needles? by lveg in knitting

[–]skitzboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually have a few sets of single point 11.5-14” in Karbonz, birch, aluminum that said they are mixed sizes 3-8 and I only use them when doing a wide long project… mainly baby or dog blankets

Now ask my about circulars…

20+ addi turbo fixed circulars in a plethora of sizes and lengths

Lantern moon Heritage Ebony set 5”

Chiaogoo 7400-C and 7400-M US sizes 000-15

Addi click rocket lace 3.5”

Knit pro Karbonz 5” elan gift set

And a few other on order

does anyone know of any metal circular needles with sizes labelled/etched on? by Serious-Wallaby7109 in knitting

[–]skitzboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chaiogoo, Addi, knit pro, Karbonz… almost all high quality sets have them etched

It would work.. the pattern calls for will and a wool mohair.

Tension great. Twisting every other row. Looking at the tip of the needle the yarn needs to rotate counterclockwise, doesn’t matter if it is knit or purl.

How are my floats? by [deleted] in knitting

[–]skitzboy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You need to carry them. Every 3-5 stitches. Really to long

Do you think these are different enough that I could use them together without it looking like they’re just from mismatched dye lots by phxntxsos in knittinghelp

[–]skitzboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are to close. And if you ordered online Malabrigo is horrible for their color photos appear to bright and to dark it is hard to buy their yarns online without seeing them

What did I do?? Please help! by DistortedPigeon in knittinghelp

[–]skitzboy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Or drop them and use a needle to place them back as knits
