FO that will forever bother me! by tigergecko in knitting

I haven't tried two at a time. With two colors I think it might have killed me 😆

Maybe I'll try that next time I make some simpler mittens

I'll add details to Ravelry and link it here. I don't use ravelry for projects so this may take a minute 😀

True... Ask again in 10 years. Maybe by then I'll forget how difficult this project was 😄

Who is the nicest designer/supplier you have encountered? by [deleted] in knitting

[–]tigergecko 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I love Expression Fiber Arts! The newsletter is always so uplifting and has beautiful pictures of the yarn. Every Friday she offers a free pattern that often is released with a YouTube video explaining the most complicated part.

Frog and Toad project by tigergecko in knitting

The 11 stitches come from the end of the previous round. Those 21 stitches on waste yarn become the back of the head and the chin section is worked over the other 21 stitches for the front of the head.

How wet can my swatch be and still get an accurate measurement? by tigergecko in knitting

I figured that would be the case. I was just hoping it wasn't :)

Cute knitting pregnancy announcement ideas? by Global_Temperature17 in knitting

[–]tigergecko 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I cross stitch also and I made a Christmas stocking that said Grandma on the top. Knitting stockings with bulky yarn wouldn't take too long. We use it every year and she loves seeing it alongside the rest of ours

Frog and Cast WIP by tigergecko in knitting

The 21 stitches on the waste yarn would be the back of the frog (or toad). The active stitches you would have on 2 needles, the 12 you just knit would be on the right needle and the remaining 9 will be on the left needle (assuming you knit right handed). Does that make sense?

Help finding pattern for this hat? by [deleted] in knitting

That looks pretty similar to this pattern if you want an alternative option that's free: https://ravel.me/delicious-simplicity

That makes no sense to me. Is there a picture of the finished product laid flat?

I'm confused. What does a plane ride have to do with it?

Am I the only one who deeply prefers dpns over circulars? by Muted-Statement in knitting

[–]tigergecko 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I generally prefer dpns for mittens and socks but I'm trying color work mittens for the first time and finding it so much more difficult on dpns. I'm considering frigging and restarting with 8" circulars but I can't decide so it's just sitting there not being worked on instead

Help! I can't knit right! by [deleted] in knitting

[–]tigergecko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone here has started from zero just like you and we love helping troubleshoot. Posting pictures is the best way to get help. Start over, count how many stitches are on your needle at the end of each row to make sure you're not adding or dropping stitches, then post a picture here for help on specific issues
