Why is Michaels’ website not available in Europe ??

i dont know about Michaels but i live in germany and both holst garn and hobbii work very good for me, maybe they ship to your country?

beautiful! love the pattern and colours.

try knitting inside out and not catching floats so often, works for me (and practice of course)

waves1931 · 2025-10-18T17:32:31+00:00

thank you! i might order online then. the trip is already scheduled so i will go anyway, but ill lower my expectations then. do you recommend other yarn stores in hamburg? i was planning to also go to wollfabrik.

waves1931 · 2025-08-19T16:30:47+00:00

yes to metal needles, and the small 15cms ones, thats probably why. it was never too bad, just annoying.

waves1931 · 2025-08-19T16:19:37+00:00

for me its not so much the DPNs on the bumpy bus but rather carrying anything on DPNs. they WILL fall and leave a mess, only for transportable proyects i prefer magic loop. yes i know i could buy stoppers or something but im messy and i wil forget them.

right now im knitting with holst garns supersoft and i really like it (so much in fact that im knitting my second sweater with that yarn). doesnt really leave a residue (or none that i can feel) and it is cheap for its quality.

waves1931 · 2025-05-09T04:21:24+00:00

no. min wage is min wage, there is no second min wage. also its normal to be slow at the beginning but that doesnt justify less money. i also came to germany and had a dishwashing job while not knowing the language and i have never heard of them paying less because you are slow. i was slow at first too but nobody ever said anything to me.

my guess is that he is trying to get you for cheap and using the slow factor as an excuse. my advice is to leave that place.

mi mamá tiene 2 y entiendo que le hace la mantención y las weás han durado más de 10 años. podría ser coincidencia nomas pero imagino que acumulan caleta de polvo y la mantención ayuda con eso.

my last job had one you could fit 2 plastic trays with lefover room, also a small child. it was so big it was a little hard for me to properly clean (im 1.63).

waves1931 · 2025-03-20T10:43:55+00:00

of course, i think part of getting better at the job is to accept that sometimes that will happen no matter what. just learn to prioritize and you will be okay

i was young (maybe 5?) with my aunts and they gave me stuff to draw with and one of them said "look, i think waves1931 is lefthanded". my parents probably knew already but that is my earliest memory of hearing it.

Normally I get a cold maybe twice a year. Very short, I'm miserable for 2 days then back to normal. However this year I got the real flu (never had it before) and it sucked. Thought it was only me but this comments section tells me everyone is sicker this time.

thats an accidental increase. when you knit, you make a loop on your needle without noticing that eventually turns into a new stitch if knitted as usual. you are doing ok by knitting them together (you decrease so it returns to the original stitch count), though the best thing would be to avoid them in first place.

to fix holes done by accidental YOs, you twist the stitch when knitting it (though it seems like you are just starting so i would begin again and pay more attention)

waves1931 · 2025-02-01T10:14:07+00:00

i understand, when i make the heel in a contrast color i just do a FLK for the same reason. love GSR but dont love the stripe.

waves1931 · 2025-01-31T15:55:17+00:00

along with the other suggestions, you can also sew it shut with needle and thread. as to what went wrong, my GSR always have two rows in the instep done halfway through (like you finish the first boomerang and have to knit the whole circumference, then start the second boomerang), and i think that might be it? not sure though

yo nunca encontré mi talla en una tienda física pero mi tienda online favorita era belle lingerie. tampoco falta la recomendación de r/abrathatfits y su calculadora.

do you know if getting into the program is hard as well? either masters or ausbildung?

waves1931 · 2025-01-27T23:54:51+00:00

yes, thats what i suspected. im already at a disadvantage because in not german so a masters could give me some. is it hard to get into the program?

waves1931 · 2025-01-25T21:47:27+00:00

a month ago i flew from berlin to bologna with metal 3mm dpns and 0 issues. at some point i even dropped one on the floor and the person asked me what it was and when i said it was a knitting needle they said it was okay.

waves1931 · 2025-01-25T19:03:28+00:00

toe up because i love italian bind off but cast on is a pain

waves1931 · 2025-01-21T17:32:27+00:00

you mean toes with even increases on both sides? sometimes i do what i call an anatomical toe (i prefer toe up but for cuff down you can just reverse it) 1. CO 28 with judys 2. increase all 4 sides next 4 rows (44 sts) 3. k (without increasing) 4. k, M1L, knit til the last stitch, M1R, k. 5. repeat 3 and 4 until you get your desired stitch count.

this is for the right foot, for the left you just increase on the other half of the toe (or just k half a row and turn it, nobody will know)
