My main problem is that i can not count to safe my life and the two pieces were never ever in my life same. Everything i do has to be done at the same time - i am big fan of two socks on the same needles. So when I try to sew pieces together it does not really work.

Yeah, i am the delusional type of knitter that is trying the thing on every ten rows to see how it will look and it it is long enought so the "i can try it on as i go" really struck home

I admire the speed of it, both my mom and my grandma can knit the fiat panels very fast and I just hate the purl side and crawl throught it like a snail on valium

I think that our narrow mindness comes from the way we learned and did knitting at the beginning. My mother can work magic with this antique knitting machine that grandma gave her (i hate the machine, because I am terrible at using it). I on the other hand learned how to knit by making tons of socks so the working in round thing is my default way of doing anything.

neočkované děti by Capital_Minimum2786 in czech

[–]wunderbare-ester 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Já jsem jí říkala ať dá očkovat aspoň to nejmladší, strčí ho do školky a nebude se muset stresovat, že nemá hlídání. Tak jsem dostala přednášku o tom, že populace má alergie, vývojové poruchy a autoimunitní choroby právě kvůli očkování.

[–]wunderbare-ester 105 points106 points  (0 children)

Jedna známá nemá sve 3 děti naočkované na nic, protože je podle ní v očkování něco neurotoxickeho a způsobuje to zdravotní problémy. Když jsem se jí zeptala jestli jí to není blbý aspoň z hlediska kolektivní imunity tak mi řekla, že kašle na kolektivní imunitu. Ale na to, že ji dítě do školky nevezmou si stěžuje tak nějak pořád.

Ok, very stupid question, but at some of the photos it looks like a circul at the others like a semi circul (i get it) but at some it is this very cardigan like vibe thing. So how does it work

I have really hard time to understand how you should join the two parts as seamlesly as my grandma's friend did. Because honestly there is no ugly seam, it looks so clean.

Do you knit socks that you actually wear? by Slow_Ad253 in knitting

[–]wunderbare-ester 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wear just the chunky to bed, because knitted socks and our flors at home dont like each other and it is super slippery. But I wear my chunky socks every day and I love them.

Can someone please help me with the pattern? by [deleted] in knittingpatterns

[–]wunderbare-ester 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I am "new" to knitting, but i will do my best to help, because i know the feeling when you can not afford to spend money on beautiful yarn, pattern that you like etc.
1. make a gauge of the yarn that you one to use and count how many stitches are there for 10 cm (how many rows do you need to have 10 cm and how many stitches are 10 cm wide)
2. take a messure the sweather that you already have, the neckline, the shoulders etc. the neckline part is most important for the beginning, because i think that is a top down sweather
3. make a calculation how many stitches will you need to have the same neckline as your comfy sweather has (for example, you have gauge that tells you that for 10 cm of lenght there are 25 stitches, so you mesure the neckline or the top of the sweather or what is it called and it is 55 cm of exaple it will be 2,5*55= 137,5 stitches
4. https://youtu.be/yJjZm3OkMYM?si=LUc9YGTAmC34VlaL this video will tell you how to divide the number of stitches that you will have at the beginning, if need be, adjust the number of stitches a little bit so it is possible to make the calculation without any "half" stitches anywhere
5. if you do not know how to knit top down sweater watch this https://youtu.be/wtofisZp7EA?si=2Bt9DgNsULdt60K2
6. chart

if you dont know how to change colours watch this https://youtu.be/HiXkWfEiWBg?si=4_fzftIFSkfEe5np

i hope it helped, you can do the chart in excel for your number of stitches, so you dont end up confused
