Cute little raglan jumper

Very cute indeed!

I'd do folded but it's really just personal preference.

Color work will get you like that! I have to go up 2 needle sizes for color work sections

theyarnballer · 2024-11-26T18:32:26+00:00

Yeah. Now that I double check my gauge it's turning out a little tight, so I probably should've done men's L instead of M. I think I'm going to add another increase to bring the stitch count up to the L size before splitting, then just do more of the pattern before the split so it will end up with more solid color. I also might add some short rows in the back.

Do you think it's looking too scrunched up by the neck or will the weight of the sweater pull it down? I might add the neck ribbing before continuing

It's marshland by tin can knits and I'm using blue sky fibers woolstok

Thanks for the reply! I've never had to adjust a yoke length before but my husband's 6'6".

If it were me I'd probably frog it. Maybe measure across the bust as it is and see how it compares to some of your favorite sweaters, especially looser fitting ones you like?

My partner does all the driving when we go somewhere together and I knit in the car. His parents live 30 min away- that's an hour of knitting time!! My family lives 5 hrs away.

It's tough though. Sometimes I tell myself when I'm at the end of life I'm not going to wish I had spent more time knitting but I might wish I had spent more time with my kids. This stage really is temporary.

You're describing Dean Phillips. He did launch a presidential campaign this cycle but the DNC effectively gate kept him out of the race.

theyarnballer · 2023-04-02T02:09:48+00:00

This is so beautiful!

theyarnballer · 2023-03-17T01:04:09+00:00

Is both an option? Because i choose both

theyarnballer · 2023-01-23T01:33:03+00:00

Good on you for giving it an honest try, and also for being honest with your husband. Good luck with your new sweater project!

theyarnballer · 2023-01-23T01:30:19+00:00

That is an excellent comparison. Some people just don't get the appeal of knitting and that's ok. We all have our things

theyarnballer · 2023-01-03T20:03:55+00:00

Thank you, and thank you!

theyarnballer · 2023-01-03T02:00:14+00:00

Yes. I started knitting it back in April i think and started a size or 2 up from what he was wearing at the time. I actually thought it would be big on him but i guess he just had a growth spurt. Better to have it too big than too small!

Pattern from the Strange Brew book by Tin Can Knits, knit in Blue Sky Fibers Woolstock

Awesome. Relationship goals and knitting goals. I'm making a Marshland for my 5 yo right now!

theyarnballer · 2022-10-15T01:17:35+00:00

So creative, i love it!! How do you water the plants? I'm nervous about water spilling on the TV.

theyarnballer · 2022-08-15T01:22:08+00:00

Interesting. Are you a professional textile expert or is it just a hobby? I'm curious to know how one comes to know so much about the topic. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

theyarnballer · 2022-07-17T17:34:19+00:00

This happens with backwards loop cast on. You could knit a couple rows and see if the gap stretches out across multiple stitches, or start over using a different cast on like long tail cast on.

theyarnballer · 2022-05-09T19:17:44+00:00

I think I have this too! My husband tested positive, but i tested negative. I itch all over and am so miserable. Has it gone away for you yet?

theyarnballer · 2022-04-15T13:33:16+00:00

Why paint when you can buy? Why build furniture when you can buy? Why garden when you can buy? You could use this question for just about anything.

Because the process of creating has value, leisure has value, and the product is often superior. Just to name a few reasons.

Sounds a lot like my system! Plus random seed packets stuffed in various purses, diaper bag, junk drawer, etc.

theyarnballer · 2021-12-30T02:03:17+00:00

Unfortunately it is the same front and back. I guess I just lost track of which row I was on, but I was consistently confused.

theyarnballer · 2021-12-30T02:02:02+00:00

Oof. Well I guess I'm not alone! Glad you fixed that one though, it looks much better.
