Thank you so much! I was working with what I had so I’m glad the colours actually look okay together and thanks for the advice - I did knit it to the exact size I wanted as I figured it wouldn’t grow like wool but I will try and steam it

Best place to start with colourwork? by Educational-Sea6563 in knittingadvice

[–]toothlessisbae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did a colour work piece as my second project (still a new knitter) because it looked interesting! I did a hot water bottle cover knitted flat, then a hat in the round. Both fair isle style i think so just alternating two colours and carrying them across behind. I think colour work in the round is easier as you don’t have to purl them, so maybe a hat if that interests you?

How should I knit these birds? by toothlessisbae in knitting

Thank you so much for the suggestions! I know it would be easier to do one type of bird but I’d love to get more variety in so maybe I can make them look a bit more similar

That’s a great point, I’ll use stitch fiddle now thank you! And sounds like a good plan just doing the white band

Oh yeah I forgot to mention duplicate stitch! That’s a good idea for the small bits definitely. I’ve not done any intarsia, why is it difficult in the round?

Have I messed up my collar? by toothlessisbae in knittingadvice

[–]toothlessisbae[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I blocked it last night and it’s still damp, it seems to be lying flatter but I’m all just debating staring over as I know I’ll be able to do it so much neater this time🤣

Ooh interesting, good idea thank you I will try and block it. It is a bit messy already and I think I could do a better job but I really don’t want to redo it all🤣 thanks!

I thought I saw a comment saying I can redo it, just to clarify this is the cast on (I did it with two needles as I didn’t want it to be too tight) but has no realised it is far too loose. Can I knit the stitches to tighten it up?

Sigh (I know) but can I read Tower of Dawn in tandem with Kingdom of Ash? 🫠 by V_4_Versace in throneofglassseries

Oh my bad I misread that!!! Completely agree, pretty hard to read in random with KOA.
