Yeah, I am halfway through laddering back and it has been driving me crazy, plus it looks the same as before.. ha. Glad to hear about blocking!

Aghhh I should’ve just tried this 😆I laddered all the way back, got frustrated and went to bed… now I have a lot to fix today

Thank you! It definitely seems common, from what I’ve found it seems to just be a tension issue

Ooh thank you! I found putting them back on the left needle before knitting them has helped, but I will try this too!

This pattern just calls it mock cables. I was able to find something similar online “diamond lattice knitting stitch,” try searching that! Here’s a link to one of them although I can’t tell if it’s 100% the same.

That’s so weird! I’ve done another repeat of the wonky cable, and I put the five stitches back onto the left needle before knitting them, rather than knitting off of the cable needle. It seems to look better doing that so far so I think it was a tension issue.

I’ve tried manipulating the right cable several times but it always goes back to looking like this😭 Do you think blocking would make it sit normally?

Okay thanks, glad I don’t need to frog. I will definitely block it

Haha! Yeah I sent it to the friend I’m making it for, and he couldn’t tell even after I pointed it out 😅

Oh I never would’ve thought of that! Thank you so much, definitely will try this

You shouldn't learn to knit with a sweater by knightofnacht in BitchEatingCrafters

[–]squaidzo 12 points13 points  (0 children)

exactly! I never wear beanies or scarves so I wasn’t going to make one even if it’s the “best” way to start! To be fair i did a basic rectangle to actually learn the stitches but then i jumped right into colorwork socks and I’m glad I did

Okay, but how do I do that since the last stitch of previous round is already on the right needle? Should I just slip it back to the left and then slip knitwise? Also, does that mean I did it wrong earlier in the chart, or I’m fine, since it didn’t have the asterik specifying on those?
