I am also swatching, we can be swatchland chums today! I have fingering weight yarn I’m swatching with some Japanese stitch patterns to see if I can make a sweater from. I don’t think I bought enough for a sweater, i was incoherent on meds at the time, but it’s black so I think I could buy more and not stress over the dye lot. I feel a bit lost in between projects. Last week I worked second sleeve and neckband on little Mister’s crazy cartoon sweater and yesterday finished seaming together. Here it is drying 20240424_1100462448×3264 2.16 MB ..read more

Creations: Yay for finishing projects! It is a great success. Hope your knitting mojo has returned to fully functioning and you enjoy your next new project, or next finishing up project! Thanks for posting a pic, I love seeing what people make. Thank you! Yay, is definitely a thing. The lack of knitting mojo was seriously messing with my self-confidence. My next project is (hopefully) going to be much larger using my many skeins of sock yarn. I’m on a No Buy Year and trying to eliminate or at least tame my stash somewhat by end of year ..read more

It will be well worth all the effort. Do you know that cables, single stitches, multiple stitches, can be fixed by kaddering down and reworking them back up rather than undoing whole rows?

It doesn’t matter how many times you ask, post photo of your knitti ..read more

I had a feeling I might have gone wrong earlier….thats really helpful so thank you I’ll let you know how I get on. I’ve had to unpick umpteen rows as I’ve gone along….losing concentration being the usual fault! There are several errors still in the knit but sometimes you just have to leave it otherwise I’d never get on and this is only the back….front and arms yet to do More news soon ..read more

Hello I think you have perhaps made a mistake in knitting your last couple of rows and the 62 sts you have remaining are in the wrong place which is why you feel the neck and shoulder will be skewed if you follow salmonmac step by step on how to finish off. This is something to check before proceeding. If I am right you will need to tink back a couple of rows a stitch at a time to undo a couple of rows. If I am wrong it will be worth just checking. I have marked up this pic to explain my thoughts e06e0356cb73bff0d178f388fb1de1feffab4f9a_2_1800x1350~21701×727 447 KB First bind of of 10 on nex ..read more
