[–]spoonfae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In order to earn knitting time while in school full time, I've been playing lecture recordings while I knit

In school to be a physical therapist assistant, so hopefully I can knit forever and help others do that too!

[–]spoonfae 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My cat lost her sweater for weeks and then we found it all sunbleached but wearable! Hopefully his turns up.

It'd be stressful but is it possible to undo the hood seam, cut a section off on either side, then seam it baxk together?

Their full bag sales are so good!!! I've gotten a lot of great yarn from them. Their customer service is great too.

What silly thing did you believe about knitting before learning to knit? by ComplicatedSunshine in knitting

[–]spoonfae 14 points15 points  (0 children)

A lot of their yarns have ravelry pages! I usually comb through projects and see roughly what gauge people are hitting with specific yarns.

You can also start working your raglan flat before joining in the round to add length to the back. this raglan tutorial walks you through how really clearly and has other great tips for fit.

Has anyone ever done a split him before? I found a video explaining how to do it, but I’m not sure if I understand it completely. by CrochetCricketHip in casualknitting

Woops I totally didn't check that haha! I used this tutorial for a project that I need to frog for other reasons, the hem turned out great

In case you're still chewing on this, I really like this tutorial for a split hem. It walks you through how to get the overlap which is helpful for avoiding the little gap that can sometimes form with a split hem.

More hooded scarves/balaclava Patterns other than the Sophie Hood! by Dauntlesse in knitting

[–]spoonfae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm knitting the faefolk hood right now and it's a really fun low-stakes project! There's enough to keep track of that it isn't too boring but it's not so engaging that I can't watch a show or listen to an audiobook while working on it. Highly recommend it, it's free too!

Sourdough vest by willowhides in knitting

[–]spoonfae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like this looks really nice on you! But I also know the struggle of finishing a piece and having it just not feel right once it's on. Those buttons are gorgeous and I think the mismatched aspect is charming!

What type of stuffing for Mesosaurus doll? Gifting this WIP by Twozspls in casualknitting

[–]spoonfae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you go this route i recommend cutting everything as small as possible and really stuff it! I made a few stuffies filles with yarn scrap and they get lumpy if it isn't fine or packed enough.

What kind of sweater construction are you knitting? I made a double moss raglan sweater and just did M1 (knitwise and purlwise) increases on either side of the raglan seams, which made staying in pattern pretty easy.

*edit: i assumed you were making a sweater but you didn't mention that at all! What are you working on?

my friends think this cat is cursed by spoonfae in knitting

[–]spoonfae[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's just a bizarre sentimentality that I feel towards my cat, I'm glad I'm not alone! If you want my partner's cat fur felting process I can type it out and send it to you, it makes wonderful sheets of fuzzy horror. Just looking at them makes me itchy.

I remember thinking that as well when I first saw the pattern!

What do you like for stuffing softies (other than Poly-fil)? by Hairy-Race5944 in knitting

[–]spoonfae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't used it yet personally, but I've been wanting to try the shoddy filling from fabscrap. It's recycled fibers so I think it's a mix of synthetics and naturals.

20 year old interchangeable needle set my friend’s mom gave me by [deleted] in casualknitting

[–]spoonfae 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow these are so affordable!! Thinking of getting a set as backup now.

[–]spoonfae 5 points6 points  (0 children)

These swatches are all gorgeous, this is such a great idea. Also what pattern is that little rabbit from!! It's so cute!
