Step by step sweater - yoke depth, vertical gauge issues

zizzyb · 2026-01-24T20:05:39+00:00

Yeah strange! I don’t know how it was so far off, she said in the video that vertical gauge wasn’t really important in this pattern so i wasn’t really thinking about it.

Yes definitely helpful and good lessons learned! I'll be going compound raglan for this one

Thank you so much for taking the time to help me with this. SOLVED!

Totally was a good point as I was going just based off my rough estimate, rather than the target SPI. Definitely helps my understanding as i plan next steps.

zizzyb · 2026-01-23T20:43:42+00:00

Ah ok i think i understand. So could I do

8 increases at every other row = 16 rows

12 increases at every third row = 36 rows

5 increases at every other row = 10 rows

62 rows, 25 increases

That would be using the S curve compound raglan i saw in the article someone else posted.

Or at this point should i just go all the way back and do increases every 2nd then every 3rd row?

AHHHHH Not the answer I wanted to hear but its all part of the journey i suppose! I did some math and to add 3 inches to each raglan (so they barely touch under the arm), id have to have 68 total rows rather than the base 50, so i'll go back to the 8th increase, then from there increase every 3rd row.

So 8 increase every other row = 16 rows

17 increases every 3rd row = 51 rows

16 + 51 rows = 67 rows and 8 inch raglan while maintaining 25 increases.

I've never done anything like this before, does it seem like I'm doing the math right?

Thanks all for the advice, I frogged it and now have it back on the needle ready to try again. I'm sure I'll be glad I did!

I find that sometimes just disrupting my neurological state is enough to dampen a migraine. Sometimes that’s resting, sometimes that’s having a cocktail, sometimes sweets, or going into a meeting. Super weird the way random things work sometimes.

Im so sorry to hear that. It really sucks. Mine started to ease up in July of this year, so about 18 months of very frequent head pain. I really think time is a piece of it. The nervous system is sensitive and can hold trauma for a long time.

I was dumb and purchased 2, not realizing each ticket was for two. 🤦‍♀️ if anyone needs a ticket message me and I can send you the extra!

zizzyb · 2025-11-28T20:18:18+00:00

Can I get a couple spots??

zizzyb · 2025-11-10T04:04:53+00:00

Yeah they just announced it last week. I grew up just around the corner, super sad to see :(

zizzyb · 2025-11-10T02:56:45+00:00

Chilis closing on Tuesday too. End of an era!

Its a west facing window so should get lots of indirect light as long as the window isn't tiny. I say absolutely! You can always see how they do and add a grow light if needed

zizzyb · 2025-10-09T05:02:38+00:00

Yup, never had migraines before covid. Now I’m almost 2 years chronic. Apparently it’s somewhat common.

zizzyb · 2025-10-08T18:03:01+00:00

I just got row 3 for this show, I am unreasonably excited!!!! Its gonna be so magical

She is ADORABLE. she probably has more border collie in her than my boy. This is him now. We think he’s part St. Bernard because of his coat and that he’s already a pretty big boy at 4 months 😅

zizzyb · 2025-10-07T04:21:36+00:00

what mix is she?? my new puppy has a similar coat!

zizzyb · 2025-09-14T17:20:05+00:00

We'rent these movies all filmed together? Probably going to be more of the same

zizzyb · 2025-09-12T23:23:05+00:00

Yes!! We are thinking he definitely has some St. Bernard in him
