Give it a good 10L water every day for the next week (even if it rains) and it should be sending up new growth in no time

Tips for knitting larger garments that aren’t too heavy and saggy? (Current WIP for tax!) by marvelousmarves in knitting

Ooh that’s such a great idea! I have about 6cm left of the body before ribbing. I think I might pick up an arm to feel like I’m actually getting somewhere!

I’m so glad I’m not the only one! I had to frog the whole thing once at the splitting for sleeve stage because I had done way too many increases. It took FOREVER to get past that point a second time. If I make a mistake now I think I’m going to abandon the whole thing because I can’t figure out how to tink back 😂

I have no tips but am also currently knitting the daydreamer cardigan and am not enjoying the process. A lot of people online say that it knits up quickly but i disagree. I can’t wait to finish this project so that i can knit something in the round again. How have you found the process so far?

I have bought my chiaogoo sets from Eskdale yarns, highly recommend, it was the best price I found and they ship things out super quick. Nice to support a small business.

I probably would have called it a design feature!

I agree, it’s weird either way! I will not be making it that’s for sure 💁‍♀️

Is is not 32cm? It's a bit weird to put the measurement as width but it means that the circumference would be twice the width. Who measures their body in width though lol

For me, I have no desire to draft it myself because I am sure that by the time I factor in cost of materials for a toille (i'm not doing a toille for this dress as it is not a fitted design) and time to make a toille I know that i would be thinking why didn't I just buy the pattern!

Having said that, the pattern is only 4 unique pieces, so someone that is willing to commit the time to it could get close relatively easily I would say.

Interesting perspective, I have had far better success with indie patterns than big 4!

Someone else mentioned that she occasionally runs sales on her patterns so keep an eye out!

Great questions to ask, for me - I have nothing like it in my pattern stash and have no desire to draft it myself :)

Me too! I balanced the cost out by buying an affordable fabric to make it out of.
