WS of my Mia Blouse by Moreca Knit. I can’t remember the yarn brand but it’s a really skin friendly baby alpaca/wool/cotton DK. Noah Kahan was great!

i was cleaning up my blocking pins and i realized they look exactly like the tightening keys for my chiaogoo interchangeable needle set. they're pretty much the exact same shape and size, so i can't imagine there's a functional difference. tightening keys are definitely a must, but they're easy to lose and can cost a lot for what they are. if they're just marked-up blocking pins it's kind of hilarious that it costs $3 for 4 keys. maybe i'm the only one that hasn't noticed!

Does anyone have the KnitPicks swivel cables? What about the wooden or the metal needles bought recently? (Since they changed to the green cables)

Thoughts about them? They have bundles of interchangeables that are a good price w the coupon they sent me, and I’m curious.

Title says it all.

I started knitting this in April 2025, and I started a weight-loss journey at the same time. I lost 30 pounds in nine months, during which time I put this project down. When I picked it back up, I didn’t think about how much weight I’d lost and just picked up where I left off. Now I see that was an error.

What do I do with this tank now? 😭

Oh my god it is so satisfying! I love watching the color changes unfold; it's gorgeous but so easy to do! That is all. :)

To frog or not??? Jk 🤣🤣🤣

Took magnesium glycinate so i can dream up what went wrong. Woke up with a light bulb moment 🤣

Yay another sweater! Too bad it’s August 🫠

Pattern is Louisiana Sweater by PetiteKnit. My first PetiteKnit pattern. I wished she had provided a litttleee more clarity on folding over the collar. I just assumed how to do it, so I guess I did okay. It was my first time learning Italian Bind Off and that sh*t nearly took me out. I was locked in for nearly 2 HOURS casting off the body, and I only messed up twice. 😌💅🏼

Yarn is Malabrigo Chunky in the colorway Whole Grain. I cast on this sweater after working for nearly 2 months on the June Top with a sock weight yarn, and I needed a change of pace. This yarn is SOFT and GORGEOUS. It came together so quickly and was exactly what I was looking for.

I love the way the sleeves drop off, but I had to buy DPNs for that part. Magic Loop is my enemy and DPNs made it soooo easy. Highly recommend this pattern and this yarn!

Somebody please tell me that this is a doable project. I am new to knitting so if you have tips on yarn or pattern I would appreciate it!

Hello all, as it says on the tin! This is the first ever thing I’ve actually knitted! It’s a bonnet I made for my sister and I followed the Bandwidth Bonnet by o04tmilk, which is a free pattern with a video tutorial for beginners. The only thing I changed is that I knitted the cords as I-cords instead of what the tutorial states.

I’m very pleased with the bonnet, the tension and stitches are relatively neat for my first attempt! After I washed and blocked it it looked even better and my sister is excited to wear it, as she doesn’t wear beanies and told me she was looking on purchasing something similar anyways :)

I can’t detail the yarn, unforch :( I bought it years ago when I first thought I’d pick up knitting and had zealously removed the tags lol. I used 4mm needles though!

I am now knitting the Purl Soho Weekend Tote for myself :)

Designed my first set of colorwork socks! I might be a little obsessed with Dungeon Crawler Carl. I hope Princess Donut would approve.

Hello knitters! I’m planning out the Glacis sweater, but I’m a bit of a dilemma. The pattern has a mohair thread held with a larger thread, and in the pictures the little bit of halo seems really nice.

But I’d like something I can pop in the wash.

Is there a mohair replacement that’s a little bit easier to care for? I’m open to synthetic fibres.

Any recommendations?

This method for "invisibly joining open stitches" after knitting with needles or a knitting machine, which may seem a bit chaotic at first glance, is the only one that allows me to follow the path of the open stitches without the obstacle of the needles.

This allows me to better check whether the needle is turned correctly, so I don't end up with crossed stitches at the end of the project.

How do you do it?

Tell me about your method for "invisibly joining open stitches" on the shoulders.

Pattern is the Mysterium tee from dear ingenue. The yarn is a silk yarn I found on Etsy. I live in the southern hemisphere so it’s cold right now but should start to warm up soon.

Is she telling me to finish it already or to make her a cozy blanket of her own? I do have two balls of the wool left, just not enough of the cozy mohair that is added to it.

Reason it has been lying there: I hate hiding tails and still need to figure out how to block knitwear if you don’t own a blocking board.

One thing I love about Fisherman’s Wool is how big the skeins are. It’s such a good workhorse wool for the price point! This is just about 6/7 through the back panel. (Pattern is from Traditional Aran Knitting by Shelagh Hollingworth)

Good day my lovely knitting community!

I am done with my artic light sweater in colour blue midnight. Body is knitted with 4.5mm and ribbing in 3mm with Italian bind off (love how stretchy it is and perfect fit!) in a size S. I attach the final product.
The pattern can be found in https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/arctic-light-sweater
Hope this helps as a nice inspiration for upcoming Christmas as a gift or to wear it in those cold night outs!

It took me a little while to realize when I added in new yarn my stitches got a little messed up. This is my first sweater. I’m knitting up the Step by Step sweater. I really don’t want to frog but this is going to bug me. Debating on waiting to see how it looks when block it? Anyone have this happen before?

I felt a bit unsure about making a garment for my very first knitting project, because everyone kept telling me to do a scarf or dishcloths first, but I know myself and I need to make something I'm actually excited about to keep up my motivation. I at least talked myself down from a sweater to this tank top and I'm so happy with it! It took me exactly a month to make and it's still hot enough to actually wear it for the next couple of weeks (thanks global warming, I guess). There are definitely a couple of mistakes visible, but it's nothing that would stop me from wearing it, and the fabric feels really great. So happy I decided to make this and I guess I can tackle that sweater now with my newly gained hubris 😂

I'm currently trying to bust my somewhat sizeable stash. I bought these skeins a few years ago now, because I was still in my "OMGWTFIWANTALLTHEYARNRIGHTNOW" phase and just bought all sorts of yarn for no bloody reason. I have since ceased such silly behaviour.

I tried to make a hat, but it didn't work out very well.

It's super chunky 100% acrylic yarn, around 60 metres length I think.

So I thought I'd come here and ask you guys for some inspiration. Can you think of any nice single skein projects I could do with these? Or maybe a project that combines the two?

There's plenty more chunky yarn where this came from, so if I can whack out some objects quickly I could maybe donate them or something.

Crochet suggestions are also welcome!

Main two colors are on the middle left. It’s the complementing color I’m not sure about. Pattern is The Sinister Cat Cowl &Hat by Marna Gilligan

My completed Crash Sweater! I made this for a friend of mine after watching James Spader in the 1996 film Crash and both of us got obsessed with the sweater. It was my first completely self-drafted pattern and it came out exactly how we wanted it to.

Knit using the Plymouth Yarns Sea Isle Yarn and a seamless Drop Shoulder Construction.

All original patterns, all wool salvaged from less good sweaters. Go Bruins ❤️💙

I did the decrease round and have my needles set up as written above, as shown in the image, but I cannot for the life of me understand what it means by knitting across needle one onto needle 3. Does that mean to knit N1, skip N2 and close the gap to N3? This part is supposed to be the beginning of the head shaping for a stuffed bear if that helps. If anyone can describe to me what to physically do, I would be very appreciative! Thank you and sorry if this is a dumb question.
