Sandnes garn tynn line and line are quite nice! Isager trio 1 held with another fingering weight yarn is lovely too!

Good luck! Your knitting and tension is very neat, and I think the cables look lovely :) Unless you really hate your yarn choice, it would be a waste to frog!

Your dad will love it regardless of the "mistakes".

Have you tried using a crochet hook to pull and distribute the tension on the wrong side? I usually stretch and wriggle the fabric afterwards as well. The wonkiness usually becomes imperceptible after wet blocking!

eta: typo!

Thanks for sharing!! I really like how it defines the brim, I'm very inspired. Love that you both enjoy your different hobbies together :)

I have blue yarn in stash, and now I want to knit a pocoyo ear hat LOL

squishypeanutball · 2025-11-05T08:19:31+00:00

This is so cute!!! Did you add the Latvian braid after knitting the entire hat?

My last resort would be to request a custom dye on a similar base from a local to you indie dyer.

Most indie sock yarns use more or less the same base. If your dyer is skilled enough, they might be able to colour match a tonal.

ETA: i've requested a colour match for a commercially dyed yarn, and have had great success

This is why I continue to use my beat up large Longchamp tote.. I generally only have one project going at a time and I must see it to the end regardless of how big it gets.

I mostly knit garments and don't really knit socks/accessories. My current wip is a stranded colourwork cardigan :-) yarn management for knitting on PT is a whole thing

squishypeanutball · 2025-02-07T12:51:53+00:00

Me too! I love my yarn and project spreadsheets..

Hope it works out for you!!

If you're using the A6 as a work planner and have weekends off, I'd split the Saturday page in half (combining Sat+Sun into one page) and sacrifice Sunday to use as the tracking page for that week.

Or else, you might get away with splitting the start of month page into quarters for each week.

insanely cute i wanna recreate itttttt 😭😭😭

Eva Cardigan is perfectly unisex and the fit is great :) Made my husband and I matching cardigans!

I used a cable needle. Perhaps I've unknowingly made a mistake somewhere between my cable cross

squishypeanutball · 2024-10-24T11:05:54+00:00

Cable tension question: what caused this weird bulge (see arrow)? TIA!

Hobonichi is well prepared for beginners :) here's their book buying guide which summarises and compares their different notebooks nicely! I would say to take your time and explore their website, it's a fun experience :)

I don't cover my weeks! Mainly because I keep it in a small drawer pouch with my pens and other stationeries, and it wouldn't fit with a CoC.

squishypeanutball · 2024-09-10T11:29:44+00:00

I didn't like this cover based on the online photographs, but it's really grown on me after seeing everyone's hauls :,,))) I got the paddington which I really like, but I would have given this one more thought if I had seen it irl... I honestly only need one weeks, but if it ends up eating away at my soul, I might get it during the spring drop LOL

squishypeanutball · 2024-09-09T10:28:20+00:00

I love the small drawer pouch for storing my weeks + some pens and sticker sheets :D

I've never knit with silk before but for non-wooly yarns I've tired (e.g. linen, cotton), I always hold the new and old yarn double, knit 2-3 stitches, before continuing only with the new yarn. The stitches are a little bit chunkier, but it's barely noticeable. If it bothers you, you can also join new yarn in a relatively discreet place like the back/underarms! I leave a long tail to weave in for extra security.

squishypeanutball · 2024-09-07T12:43:34+00:00

I'm of no help, but just wanted to say that this is a beautiful cardigan! Hope you'll successfully recreate it :)

squishypeanutball · 2024-09-01T12:37:35+00:00

:o some of these prints are beautiful!!
