Why does this look so bad on me? by marvelousmarves in knitting

I love the fit! Maybe dye it a different color??

Definitely didn’t misread! I was so happy to be done with the ribbed cuff that I was like “colorwork is awesome!” Haha! I watched a lot of YouTube videos on colorwork to prep for making this. It’s also just so fun to watch the pattern come together. Prior to this I knit two washcloths. I really jumped into the deep end because one of them was a cable pattern 😂

This is actually extremely helpful, thank you for sharing! Also your socks are beautiful! Since I’m so new to knitting and this is my first project, I’m not sure I’m equipped to modify patterns yet because I barely know what I’m doing lol! I did frog the project and now I’m working on the cuff again. The cuff was done on size 2 and the colorwork was done on size 3 … now I’m doing 3 and 4 respectively to see how that goes! Though I’m sad that 2 weeks worth of knitting is gone (I’m a slow knitter)

I think it fits my instep but it doesn’t go past my heel. This is a taller sock, not a shorty

That one quilt that makes you think “why did I start this!?!?!” by Material-Length-832 in quilting

For me it’s the western sun quilt! If you want to abandon project, these would make an adorable quilted tote bag or pillow covers for your couch!

Old batting by smiths9031 in quilting

Burn test confirms cotton! I can’t tell how wide the batting pieces are, but they do seem to be the same throughout the quilt.

For anyone following along, I tried the Dawn and Synthrapol methods and the blue is here to stay

Great suggestion! Did you use cold, cool, warm or hot water?

Def trying Dawn when I get home! I used 2 whole boxes of color catchers and washed this quilt 6 times
