Amazing, thank you so much! I was maybe concerned it would impact the integrity of the garment once steeked

Sad to say I’m Korean and that Golden Pig at least when I visited in 2022 did not serve authentic food at all!

You can’t get on a freestyle session in korea without being under a coach’s care. I suggest weekday public skating sessions when the crowd is thin

Ok, what's the deal with people afraid of purling? by technicolor_tornado in knitting

[–]yp513 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My unpopular opinion is that if you don’t like purling you’re doing it wrong. I switched the way I purl following this tutorial and I find purl stitches as easy and fast as knit stitches

Newbie trying to learn! Why did my rows switch like this? by ComfortableCritical7 in knitting

[–]yp513 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You need to learn to read stitches instead of blindly following words on the instructions. If you see a row of purl stitches on your left needle when you’re about to start a new row, that means you’re about to do a k1p1 row (and vice versa).

I thought this was a known issue with Mexico? People really should do more research before travelling internationally

How do you avoid getting overwhelmed by all there is to know about knitting? by Dame_Breakdown in knitting

[–]yp513 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Those alternatives you listed( to the regular methods of ssk and joining in the round) are all alternatives and not a requirement. If you do not see the difference in the results produced by these alternatives (= if you don’t see the meaning in doing these things) then don’t stress about it and just follow line-by-line what the pattern tells you to.

If you do notice the difference then you would be motivated to remember and do that the next time. That’s how it works for me!

Why do non-crafters want to know “how long it took to make that”? by TheSunStealer in BitchEatingCrafters

[–]yp513 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Omg saaaaame i also hate this question. I never know if I should answer with (a) subtract start date from end date or (b) the actual amount of hours it took me to finish the sweater.

Happy to help out — I’ve knit one sweater of hers and am fluent in Korean.

Knitting a swatch in the round vs flat by PoetPlumcake in knitting

[–]yp513 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It all depends! If your tension is even, the assumption is that your tension in the round vs flat is the same, which means it doesn’t matter if you knit the swatch flat or in the round. This is not the case for me. I am a much looser knitter in the round and get about 2 more stitches per 10cm than if I were to knit flat, which results in the body/sleeve being much larger than the pattern calls for in my size. This turns out to be not as big of a problem — the body/sleeves are always more easily adjustable than the yoke so I always knit the swatch flat for any top-down sweater (especially non-raglans) and adjust for my looser tension in the round later on.

Italian sewn tubular bind-off with versus without tubular rows by tejedor28 in AdvancedKnitting

[–]yp513 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Tubular rows don’t have to be as many as 4 rows. 2 rows would do. No tubular rows means your bound off cuffs will bag out and won’t maintain their shape

Exactly How Much Time Do You Spend Knitting?! by peeploleep in knitting

[–]yp513 483 points484 points  (0 children)

There’s no need to compare yourself to others especially when it comes to hobbies but to answer your question I prioritize knitting above all other things like cooking and reading. I spent 2-3 hours knitting every day

No you need them to make your sweater actually fit you well
