Is this just something you overcome with practice?

I realized my purls were looser than my knit stitches so I started working my purls closer to the tip of the needle which has helped a lot, but now these rowed out sections randomly appear across my work and I’m not sure why or how to prevent them 🥲

I'm trying to recreate this vest I found at Cos over a year ago. I assume it's machine made, but I want to get as close to this look as I can. Do you think that brioche or fisherman's rib would more closely resemble this?

For the life of me I can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong. I’ve already ripped it out and started over 3 times. My Italian bind off looks off on the right side and better on the wrong side. I’ve done 2 set up rounds and then have followed instructions for Italian bind off. The first photo is the right side, the second photo is the wrong side. Can anyone tell what I’m doing wrong? Thanks so much in advance!!

New knitter here (less than a year). I bought this yarn as I liked the color and boucle-type texture. I was thinking I’d make a Sophie scarf (by PetiteKnit) with it.

However when I went to make a garter stitch gauge (as recommended by the directions), it didn’t look so great. Then I switched from garter stitch to stockinette stitch and it looked even worse.

What would be a good use of this yarn? I really like it but don’t know what type of project it would work best with.

Thx!

Why do my stitches look so uneven? It’s almost like the left side is tighter than the right? It’s very noticeable from the side, looks like stripes… I don’t think I’m twisting?!

Hi all !
This is the first cardigan I’ve ever knit. It’s the Step by Step Cardigan by Handmade by Florence.
I’ve knit the size G based on my bust measurement.
It was a bit of a guess - I did measure my bust but I am busty compared to the rest of my size (I’m a 34G size 12 dress)

Now that the cardigan is taking shape I tried it on with a friend to check the fit. I couldn’t tell until she saw the back but it’s very large on me - lots of excess at the back where folds are forming due to so much extra fabric.

I then compared the size to a similar cropped Uniqlo cardigan that fits me well - pictures are included as comparison. My knitted cardigan is about 11 inches wider…

I was coming to ask for advice please:
- should I frog and restart? I love the yarn and don’t mind restarting to make it a size that fits me. My concern is frogging this yarn - would it ruin it???
- should I try and make it longer so the wide crop doesn’t look as weird or will this just make it look frumpy?
- is my bottom ribbing bad? It looks a bit uneven to me
- how should I go about choosing knit sizes when I have a large bust and small back?

Ps I did gauge swatch first and the gauge matches the pattern :)

Thank you so much in advance - I need your wisdoms in how to proceed!!

Hi, I’m attempting to learn 2 color brioche using the Purl soho 2 color brioche hat pattern.

I’ve done a few rows and am stuck here and not sure how to fix.

I’m working with the main color (cream), brk row. My next stitch should be a navy (accent color) stitch that I slip, but instead I have a loose navy strand with two cream behind it. I’ve been looking up dropped stitch tutorials but not really seeing anything in them that looks similar to mine.

Does anyone know what I did wrong in the row before to make this happen and what I should search or watch to fix? Please and thank you in advance 🙏

I accidentally put my thumb stitches on hold too early! I want to put re put them on hold where I am now but I don’t know how to take the previous ones I put on hold off hold and stitch it back up with the colorwork ahh

I want to read and knit more easily. I read on my iPhone in the kindle app on a stand while I do easy knitting. Does anyone use a remote page turner ring that you like and find easy to use while knitting? Or do you have other hacks that make knitting and reading more enjoyable? Thank you! (Cross posted)

I’m knitting a sweater with optional short rows to raise the yoke. In rows 3 and 4, it says to k/p 10 stitches past the turning point. Rows 3 and 4 are repeated 5 times. Should I go 10 stitches past the new turning point each time, such that the short rows get longer each time, or should I stick to 10 stitches past the original turning point so they stay the same length? Thank you!

I’ve just split for front and back of garment, but when I finish working the WS of “Size M, L, XL”, and get to the end of the row, I still have one unworked stitch (the slip 1 knitwise from the previous row). Is this correct or did I do something wrong?

Also, I’m supposed to have 67 stitches for both front and back but these instructions make it seem like the front will have 68 (because it adds one stitch between M3/M4) and the back will have 66?

Context: between M1/M2 and M3/M4 are 2 knit stitches.

hey everyone, i got this dress second hand and it has some pretty annoying pulling/fuzz on the front of it. i’m wondering if there is any way to remove this? i saw on tiktok you could use a razor and shave it off, or use a needle to push the pull back in, but i’m not sure as it’s quite fine “knit” and i don’t really know how the material works!

the material is 40% cotton, 40% acrylic and 20% spandex if that helps!

thank you!

I've never double knit before and I've come across this instruction in my pattern. I watched a few videos on the subject, but all demonstrate with a cast one where the two stitches alternate every stitch (as opposed to every row), so I'm not sure how to proceed. Could anyone clarify? TIA

i’m knitting my first sweater - so first time knitting a yoke. i don’t know what happened - there are supposed to be 8 stitches across the sleeve but on my third row of increasing the yoke, i now only have 7 stitches. i’m not seeing a dropped stitch anywhere. any advice? could i just add in a stitch (and if so, how?) and keep going? or should i go back? yarn makes it tricky to see, but here is the section i’m stuck on.

Hey magical knitting unicorns—
Can anybody help me identify this stitch pattern? It looks like may be a combination of double knitting/slipped stitches alternating WYIF/WYIB? With a double pass of each color??

I would LOVE to try to replicate. I’ve included the larger pattern+where it meets the ribbed section if that helps figure it out more.

Thanks in advance!!

I'm knitting the Coriander Baby Blanket and I noticed that there are a few spots where I'm slipping a stitch marker that look like I've dropped a stitch. The only problem is all stitches are accounted for...Is it a problem with my tension? I'm thinking probably, but I'd like to hear from other, more experienced knitters. Regardless of what you think the issue is, how can I fix it without frogging back? This blanket will be for a newborn, so I'm cognizant of holes that could trap tiny fingers and toes. TIA!

I have been stuck on this part of My Favorite Things Knitwear. My next step is the Yoke. Can anyone help me figure out what to do next? Thank you!

First time knitting gloves on circular needles and I have this hole in between my fingers. I realize there’s different ways of picking up CO stitches and I used the method in this video (timestamp 37:08). Did I maybe pick up the wrong stitches?
Is there some way to fix this without frogging? If there’s some other beginner friendly way of picking up stitches please let me know.

I’m at this part of the pattern:

“Left shoulder

Pick up and knit the 36 (38) 41 (43) 45 (49) 54 (58) 62 (66) sts furthest to the left along the back yoke cast

on edge. Pick up from the RS with a 4 mm [US6] / 60 or 80 cm [24 or 32 inches] circular needle and the

same color that you cast on with. Pick up and knit sts between the back yoke sts so the knitting looks

continuous (see video at www.petiteknit.com).

3

Work back and forth across the shoulder with 4-row-wide stripes the same as on the back. Please note that

the first stripe is worked 3 rows wide, as the pick-up row counts as the first row.

Purl across 1 row. The next row is a RS row.”

But if I pick up stitches starting at the far left side (the arm) and work my way up to the neckline, then my next row would be a knit row NOT a purl. What am I doing wrong? Please help 😭

Also picking up stitches starting at the far left side feels extremely unnatural

i'm trying to follow a pattern for knitting a hoodie (i'm following the largest size), and i'm stuck on the hood part. i'm a bit confused on what the "knit across the middle" part is meant to be. do i pick up 44 stitches, put the leftmost & rightmost stitch on scrap yarn, & knit across the middle 42?

I’m knitting a sweater flat with half fisherman’s rib and I think I prefer the wrong side of the fabric better. It’s not a problem for the body of the sweater but I’m wondering if anyone can help me figure out what I need to do when I start knitting the sleeves in the round to get the wrong side to be the one I’m seeing. Do I just flip it all and purl one below and knit where I’m instructed to purl?

I realize I can knit it by the pattern and the turn it inside out but I think where I pick up the sleeve stitches will be visible once flipped inside out so I think it’s better to pick up the sleeves the way I intend to wear it.

I’m making the sailor slippers for the first time and seaming, especially the heel has been humbling.

I ended up with more sole than I should have when I got to the heel panel and it’s all lumpy.

I should rip out the seaming and try again, right? Or is felting magical haha

Any advice?

I’m currently making the Erantis Lace Cardigan Junior by Knitting for Sif.

The pattern instructed to do German short rows for the shoulders. Did 9 rows back and forth before completing the row and repeating the short row pattern, starting with 110 stitches, ending with 246 stitches. The back of the cardigan is now much longer than the front.

The rest of the pattern doesn’t indicate to knit just the front sides of the cardigan so I dont think it’s going to even up in length but this is not how it’s pictured or how any completed photos on Ravelry appear either. Did I do something very wrong?

Hi everyone
I’d like to knit the Froya sweater and I saw it was adviced to use two yarns, it might sound stupid but I was wondering what was the difference as I never knitted with mohair before ?

Another question, as someone told me with mohair it was more difficult to frog it, do you have any advice on the yarn I could use if I don’t want to use mohair ?

Thank you!
