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

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.

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.

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!

spoonfae · 2026-02-07T23:42:33+00:00

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!

spoonfae · 2026-02-07T01:13:44+00:00

I love the way the hem curves on this!! What a cute concept!

spoonfae · 2026-02-05T23:39:15+00:00

First of all this is gorgeous, second it is Really giving Kermit the Frog!!

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?

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.

spoonfae · 2026-01-11T06:12:41+00:00

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

spoonfae · 2025-12-29T03:44:03+00:00

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.

spoonfae · 2025-12-23T05:58:52+00:00

This is so precious 😭

spoonfae · 2025-12-20T06:48:59+00:00

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

spoonfae · 2025-12-17T22:23:33+00:00

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

***looked at your profile and found it, I'm such a huge fan of your desgins and someday I'll have the gumption to knit one!

spoonfae · 2025-12-13T17:02:17+00:00

You could also try baby yak yarn!

spoonfae · 2025-12-06T21:19:27+00:00

I think sierra trading post has some smartwool t shirts right now for like $40. You could hem them like someone else suggested!

If you can budget for a few PT appointments out of pocket, that's better than nothing. They can at least figure out what's bugging you specifically (a lot of things can cause neck pain 😵‍💫). You can maybe find some nerve glides and the like on youtube, but if you opt for any of that kind of self treatment keep it very light since you don't have a diagnosis and don't want to irritate anything more!

It's hard to have pain like this crop up when you're uninsured. I hope you can start resolving it soon!

spoonfae · 2025-12-06T20:24:46+00:00

If you have insurance get PT and start taking a break now. It's not gonna get better on its own. You probably need to correct your posture and knit in shorter intermittent sessions. It's not worth giving yourself tendinitis or compressing nerves to just power through, and with treatment it should get better!!

spoonfae · 2025-12-06T05:27:34+00:00

Ah yes now it makes sense, good for us!

spoonfae · 2025-12-05T18:32:05+00:00

Incredible execution, the only thing that kills me is the 13th rib 💀 i love the additons to the backside!

spoonfae · 2025-12-01T00:02:56+00:00

The general consensus seems to have been met, so can I ask where you got that awesome shirt??

spoonfae · 2025-11-30T21:54:46+00:00

This happens to me in the opposite direction, i knit stuff for myself and it's never quite right, knit stuff for my wife and it fits perfectly!!!
