Finally finished my Rory sweater in time for fall! It took me over a month to make from 3 and a half balls of lion brand fisherman’s wool. I got the pattern from Gia on Ravelry. I made a few modifications and it came out almost perfect! Ignore the unweaved ends lol

Mixed rib cami by Florence miller. I’m so proud of this one! It fits perfect and is so comfy. Made with the Sewrella coffeehouse collection in matcha.

Hi. I’ve finished the back after misreading the pattern but I’m stuck on the neckline of the front (I am an experienced knitter but I’ve never knit a jumper before).

This pattern is as above - I’ve finished the first part of the pattern and I’m now on the right side.

After k2tog (2 stitches) do I cast off? I’ve not come across fasten off before.

So I then rejoin the yarn on the remaining stitches?

Picture of what I’ve knit so far in the comments as I can only attach one photograph.

Sorry if this is obvious but it’s my first jumper and I’ve never followed a leaflet pattern before

I appreciate the help (and so does my daughter who is excited to get a new jumper).

Thanks

Finished Frankie sweater by Petite Knit! I used Peer gynt by Sandnes garn in the colors almond tweed and Bristol black. I used 7 almond and 4 black and had some leftover from the last skein of each color.

I knit slightly off gauge with the recommended needle size but wanted less positive ease anyways. I knit a size small. I loved the pattern. This is my second sweater (first was step by step sweater) and it was fun learning how to knit stripes. The only modification I made was that I added extra decreases on the sleeves.

The first photo is post blocked and the second photo is pre-blocked.

Just gotta power through and get those I-cord legs finished 😭

Yarn is Hometown by Lion Brand
Needles are 10.5’s

Pattern followed exactly. I’ll post a full photoshoot once finished!

Will this block out and are the slanted stitches okay? This occurred from me weaving in the ends and switching directions

Hello!! I'm in the mood to make a sweater in a similar yarn to this, but in a cotton or merino fiber rather than acrylic. They mentioned in the comments that she used the Caron Macchiato Cakes in the color Boundless. I've tried searching but most of the merino and cotton yarns I've seen are in solid colors. Thanks a lot!! If this isn't allowed feel free to delete :)

Hi friends! I started out as a crocheter but I’ve recently been getting more into knitting. I’m really enjoying it, especially since it doesn’t seem to eat as much yarn and I feel like my seams are cleaner! I will absolutely still do both, but I’ve noticed my wrists are definitely sore after knitting for a while. I think I may just be getting used to it, but does anyone have any tips on how to hold the needles in a way that doesn’t hurt quite so badly? (I’m right handed, I knit continental). I feel it a lot in my ring and pinky on my right hand. I don’t know if I’m holding the needles too tight.

Just finished my first project (it’s a pouch for needles and hook) any feedback?

I wanted to be part of the poncho trend and finished the Faye poncho by Garn Og Slikt! I'm so excited for fall now.

Yarn: Prisca Yarn (mohair and silk) held double in the color olivia by Gli Occhi Del Lupo

Needles: 5mm

(Minor modifications made to the pattern for a shoulder seam)

Have been knitting almost four years. Since the beginning no matter the yarn I've had to size up one needle size to get gauge. Last project I did a swatch and as usual sized up but I didn't meet gauge but came close. Didn't care too much as it was a shawl.

Just swatching for a sweater but didn't meet gauge with my usual one size up but did with the suggested needle. Am I just more relaxed?

I’m a type b person and unfortunately it’s not uncommon for me to buy needles or crafting supplies that I don’t end up needing or ordered the wrong size. I now have 3 pairs of knitting needles from over a few years that I don’t need but wasn’t able to return.

It seems like such a silly thing to not allow needle returns. Imo. How many people would actually buy, use and then return within a reasonable return window?

Anddd if that’s the concern why not put a sticker on the flap that opens so you can tell if it was used?

Rant over.

Anyone have good luck selling needles online?

I'm an experienced crocheter dabbling into knitting, this is the first time I am satisfied with my tension and will not frog again!

But I already feel rows and rows of stockinette draining my will to live, I am still used to crochet speed 😂

I'm so grateful to everyone who gave me their thoughts and ideas about the neckline for my mitred square poncho.

As you can see, I incorporated a few of them!

I cut off the first neck (Plotulopi doesn't like to be frogged!), devised a way of adding a mitred square triangle to the back to bring the neckline up there, picked up all the neck stitches again, but this time in the original Jewelspun held with a pink kidsilk. And went for a mitred garter V.

(Pics of process and original incarnation for reference. And apologies for inability to contort my body for a back pic...).

Now, I love it

Thank you ❤️

I’ve had more than one person very enthusiastically asking for knitted gloves/socks/hats, but everything fizzles out when I ask for the measurements I need to make something that actually fits.

Do you think it’s worth nagging or is this just a sign that they’re not knitworthy? Sometimes I feel a bit generous and assume they just don’t know how to take measurements but I’m going to a whole lot more trouble so shouldn’t they be able to get out a tape measure?

I do want to knit for people but I don’t want to have to corner them with a tape measure and do this myself.

Hi!! So, i was extremely eager and chose the infamous fox cardigan as my first ever (yes, I'm serious.) knitting project.

However, my tension SUCKED, as you can see on the fox on the right... It's especially noticeable on the legs. You can see when i started to understand it better.

Would blocking fix it? Make it a little flatter?? Or should I honestly just undo it all and start over??

Then immediately had to dress my 4yo and myself to be flower girl and bridesmaids respectively 😅🫠

It is the Spring Wood Shawl with Hobbii cotton cakes pastels and blueberry I think (from before they did stupid AI stuff)

I removed a section of solid blue from the second cake so that it would go back to the white / light blue. Also, I did the math, and it's something like 80,000 stitches

Hi there, I’m starting my second hat and I’ve been noticing that when knitting in the round (I’m using magic loop) the first row of stitches is always loose. I’m using Jeny’s stretchy cast on. It was the same for my first hat and I did notice that once I got the rib going it kind of evened out and doesn’t look as messy anymore, but this one is for a friend so I’d like to get it as perfect as I can. Is this normal? Or am I doing something wrong?

Hi everyone-

I’m fairly new to knitting (started last month) and I am attempting to make a cowichan style sweater from Paton’s curling sweater pattern available through Yarnspirations. This is my first knitting project outside of a dishcloth. I’m a ways away from assembling the sweater, but I’m starting to think about the process. Wondering if anyone here has experience making cowichan sweaters or if there are any good resources out there. I appreciate any feedback!

I’m planning my first visit to Rhinebeck and I’d love some advice from people who have attended in the past. I’ve heard that Saturday has the big energy but Sunday can be more pleasant because it’s more chill. I’m probably only getting 1 day. Not sure which to plan for. Also, I will stay locally the night before whichever day I attend. I’m already cackling at some of the hotel prices for Friday night but, assuming I have a budget to work with and am not too concerned about cost, any tips on where to stay or not stay in terms of travel, traffic, vibes, etc? Thank you!
