  • What are your new year projects?

    Jump

  • I'm not too big on planning knits, that said some projects I'd like to take on this year are:

    • Lumme tee, or pullover in my case. A friend gifted me this beautiful terracotta merino DK yarn and have been wondering what to use it for, finally settled I'd try my first big colorwork project. I'll probably pair it with a mauve/lilac yarn.
    • Fade of beads tee I received this pattern for free for attending an event and right away knew I wanted to knit it. I've been ogling Pope Vergara's designs for a while now and looked forward to incorporating beads. I have the supplies already and will probably cast on once I finish the project I'm currently working on.
    • Rochambeau cowlette I got this pattern to knit up a beautiful handdyed merino fingering yarn I got on my 2023 trip to Girona (Spain).
    • Holiday Doodle Cup Cozies Every year I make a small handmade gift for friends and work mates and this is what I chose I'll give this year. I'll probably get the yarns soon and will start early so I'm not knit-rushing in November 😂

    Besides that I'd like to sign up for a class on Brioche knitting.

  • Office appropiate handmade knitwear?

    Jump

  • That last part it on point! I’ve mostly worked with guys who go in and out of the office and of course, it’s hot outside so when they come in again the turn on the AC at max and I’m freezing 🥶

  • I've learned I really don't like large needles

    Jump

  • I'm leaning to this realization also. Maybe because I have teeny tiny hands

  • Sweater curse

    Jump

  • I found out about it online, I think because of an IG reel that mentioned it and prompted me to look it online because I hadn't heard about it. I started knitting after a -big- breakup so I haven't had the chance to 'test' the curse lol

  • Finished my first child sweater

  • Aw man, I've been super MIA from here and I just noticed my awful cowl on the sidebar, yay me! 😂

    I want to propose showcasing types of yarn. Like, variegated yarn, self-striping yarn, something along those lines since we're running out of actual techniques lol.

  • [KNITTING FAIL] My first not so successful in the round knit

  • Oh thank you! I didn’t realize I had the wrong link, I’ll fix my post now :)

    Jump

  • I've seen those patterns on Ravelry but I thought they were way too over my head. Thanks for letting me know they're acually newbie-friendly. I think I'm gonna try the Basic Doodle cowl first :)

  • What is your preferred material for interchangeable needles?

    Jump

  • Thank you for the insight. As I started researching I read something similar, someone recommended metal needles for tight knitters and a more grippy material for those who tend to knit more loosely. And I started noticing that my acrylic needles work really well with slick yarns, but are a pain with grippy fibers. So I might need to have two sets, right? wink wink

  • Third's time the charm! AKA I finally understood the importance of gauge samples 😂

    Jump

  • RIGHT? We were walking through Girona with my (local) friend and I saw it in a shop window. Sadly the store was closed that day, so we had (yes, had) to come back a few days later for me to get it. I also got a hand-dyed merino skein from another store in the city.

  • Third's time the charm! AKA I finally understood the importance of gauge samples 😂

    Jump

  • I mostly put on re-runs when I knit because I can't take my eyes off what I'm working on xD But I have seen people knit without looking at their work, so it's definetely possible. I'm nowhere near that point myself though lol.

    Jump

  • I have no idea, it seemed like forever because I'm a slow knitter. But there's so much stockinette, it does make for some mindless knitting.

  • I think I'll keep up making swatches for garment where sizing does matter but keep winging it willy-nilly for accesories lol

  • I've seen some sets of square needles, do they feel too differently to round? :o

  • What is your preferred material for interchangeable needles?

    Jump

  • Ooh that's a great idea as I can get fixed circulars. I've read good things about the Karbonz in the smallest sizes. I currently use a US 1 (2.25mm) wood fixed circular for knitting socks and it's ok, but I feel the tip is a bit blunt, not pointy enough to really get into the yarn.

  • WIP: A tee for mom

    Jump

  • Just a heads up, this pattern is being updated in 01/20 with a new version for round knitting (which has become my favorite way of knitting), there's also gonna be a KAL going on for the re-release, so I'll probably jump in and knit a ee one for myself :)
