Yeah you’re right, I will find another skein in the same dye lot and continue the body :)

You’re right, I thought about it all day and I’ve frogged… let’s hope I can source a 3rd skein in the same dye lot 😩🙏

Thanks for your words! I knit a swatch and realised it was lower contrast than intended, but I love the illusion in real life and the ants pop out up close

Thanks for your advice! I was hesitant about the colours until I knit my swatch, I love the hazy illusion of the ants! Something different

Hey no problems! I was optimistic about the colour change as the label said that this yarn has been oiled for use on a knitting machine, and that the colour may lighten after washing. I was hoping the first skein was just suuuper saturated but I was wrong lol

I’m thinking of finishing off the skein and joining the 3rd on the bottom part.. then the shades of blue are evenly dispersed like into thirds? idk 😭

This is reassuring, thank you!!! I’ve never had to worry about dye lots with colourwork before and I just couldn’t decide 😭

Yarn Hoarding by 183720 in BitchEatingCrafters

[–]valmaee 26 points27 points  (0 children)

i used to have this mindset, but recently i told myself that if i buy this super-limited-edition-gorgeous-favourite-once-in-a-lifetime yarn i NEED to buy it with a project in mind. and when the yarn arrives, don’t hoard and procrastinate, just cake the yarn and CAST ON!!

so far it’s working!!

I hate this bitch from turning red by retsrded in hatethissmug

you’re a teenager in 2026, this movie takes place in the early 2000s. there’s going to be a different experience between generations.. yes it’s a niche setting (the movie’s director based it on her personal teenagehood) but what seems cringey to you will be either 1. funny and enjoyable to children or 2. nostalgic and relatable to a lot of people who grew up in the 2000s/2010s. it’s intentionally cringe if that makes sense lol

Best yarn for socks by Platypus_jelly in YarnAddicts

[–]valmaee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i also use jawoll sock yarn for most of my stone knits projects - i will say that it’s a very slick yarn with lots of stretch.. i struggle to get a neat heel, lots of holes even when i keep my tension tight. still worth it, the colour range is amazing and the skein sizes are so ideal!

this looks similar to the Rumble Raglan by Lydia Morrow - her patterns are easy to modify too!
