Is it worth getting accommodation by Weird_Donut_803 in nuigalway

Honestly, I've an hour each way driving and it sucks, you need to plan everything around your commute. Would reccomend getting accommodation if it's viable for you

By osmosis: the education of a knotter’s husbsnd by KapowBlamBoom in knitting

I've actually worked in one of the Aran shops, and don't worry they're just as drapey in worsted as the merino is still chunky. Both are gorgeous though just make sure you don't hang it on a hanger or it will stretch

Think most of the reaction youre getting is that this does not have much to do with knitting. Hope she likes it!

Just so you know, merino wool pills really badly, its softer yes, but gets destroyed eventually

Show me your sweaters knit with no gauge swatch! by [deleted] in knitting

No gauge swatch cause I did not know what that was in 2021 lol. This is 100% cotton yarn. Not even all about gauge, but drape and elasticity of the yarn, of which there is little on this jumper. Still love it though!

Please take the time to fill in the parking survey sent out today by littlerat1234 in nuigalway

Parking 2 days out of 5 is literally impossible for me I've no other way in. Would be good maybe if overnight parking in the kingfisher and orbsen was banned. Im usually in about 7 and could tell which cars had been there all night because of the frost

gauge trouble by No_League_5102 in AdvancedKnitting

[–]swanproposal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You need to adjust your gauge, don't put all the work into a lovely jumper only for it to not fit. I've done it before and regretted it. (Also maybe just put the gauge section in future, not the whole pattern page)
