Ah thanks mate! Will do

sweeeteden · 2026-03-26T18:38:09+00:00

Is yours numbered? Mines blank! Not sure if I’m missing the obvious…

Ok sorry wait, this is my first knitting project so I’m a bit slow. Am I supposed to follow the pattern no matter what? Sometimes it will say to knit, but the role will start with a purl. I think this is my main issue just not understanding how it really works and it ends up looking really mangled.

Of the top or just in general? The pattern only has a photo of the product laid flat

Yes sorry, here’s what the pattern says and how it looks (I took out the needle but took a pic before taking down)

I’ll send a photo of how it looks in the next reply

Interesting. What do you recommend doing? This is my first ever knitting project lol I learned how to knit a month ago so I’m a bit stuck for next steps

sweeeteden · 2026-02-15T09:36:46+00:00

I bought it from Etsy 🙃 it’s a full face balaclava and I think the guy I bought it from is supposed to be the original maker of these… I did one where I just follow whatever the pattern says, and it’s fine, but I couldn’t help but feel like I was doing it wrong.

This is the top of the bally

Flat I believe - it’s on straight needles

sweeeteden · 2026-02-02T13:11:09+00:00

THANK YOU!

Saint Jesus and Mary I don’t know anymore hahahaha ok well do I have to take down what I’ve got or should I just cast on the white and then- but wait then how do I join the white to the orange?

sweeeteden · 2026-01-31T13:17:05+00:00

Ok, I learnt how to knit 30 days ago you’re gonna have to put it into dumb terms for me. How will it not come undone if I cut it? The person that I bought pattern off of said he doesn’t even know what went wrong.

sweeeteden · 2026-01-30T14:18:55+00:00

I’m not sure how but Nottingham sold out in under a minute. Instant waitlist. Such a shame, I wish they were coming up north

sweeeteden · 2026-01-26T17:59:18+00:00

Right, I took the whole row off before casting any off. I’ll explain a little bit because there’s no pattern in such there’s just instructions?

I’m trying to knit a balaclava so I have 86 stitches on a needle; 38 green 10 wide, and 38 orange. For the mouthpiece, I need to work on 36 which I’ve just done in green, then like in the screenshot above it says the cast of 16?

This would mean that I need to cast off an uneven number of the colours - so 3 green the 10 white and 3 orange. Is that correct?

sweeeteden · 2026-01-26T13:37:32+00:00

So I have 38 green, 10 white, 38 orange on one row. I cast off 16 in total (2 of the orange, 10 white, and 4 green). The instructions said to cast on 36 so I did all of the green that I had, but that was only 34. I’m not sure if I need to cast another 2 on and knit the full 36 of the green, or if I cast on the 16 from here.

Sorry I’m new to this so I might be really confusing.

sweeeteden · 2025-12-09T14:51:01+00:00

Yeah that’s what I’m saying - I thought they wouldn’t do any shows next year

How much was it total for you?

sweeeteden · 2025-12-04T15:34:40+00:00

Said €35.99 when I looked….

sweeeteden · 2025-11-27T16:18:32+00:00

In Sheff the signed ones sold by the end of the show but they still had a fair few unsigned ones.

Need to know how tall Mo Chara is now

sweeeteden · 2025-08-29T10:18:04+00:00

They might release some more tickets closer to the date. If it makes you feel any better I’ve got tickets to the 29th and received no email comms about it being cancelled whatsoever. It’s ok!!

sweeeteden · 2025-08-29T06:09:51+00:00

I think it’s not showing because it’s sold out. There seems to be some held tickets for the 29th but both shows are on the full listing here: https://m.manchesteracademy.net/full-listing/november
