I have some really special fingering weight yarn. It’s hand-dyed and variegated. For that reason (and because school is currently frying my brain), I’d like to find a simple shawl or shawlette pattern to showcase a busy, colorful yarn. Maybe something with a lot of stockinette and some yarn-overs, or similar?

What are your favorite simple, relaxing shawl patterns that may suit?

P.S. I have about 900 yards.

As title says, I have no idea what I messed up here and even less of a clue how to fix as I am a total beginner. I counted my stitches and have the correct amount. Thank you for your help!

I am planning on knitting a sweater with brooklyn tweed tones light american columbia wool (recommended to hand wash cold) and loft 100% wool (recommended hand wash warm) Will the worst that happens is color bleeding? or will it mess with the finished fabric?

PATTERN: hanstholm sweater

hi. i might be effed. i’m knitting a sweater and I’m a decent ways into the yoke.

pattern calls for gauge of 21 stitches 28 rows (per four inches)

i’m getting 25 stitches 34 rows

using a sport and lace held together as opposed to the DK pattern suggests.

i was dumb and dropped down a needle size in the yoke from what was suggested.

could I just jeep increasing to a few sizes larger before putting the sleeves on hold?

This is my first time knitting and Ive tried multiple times but it just wouldn't work, any tips?

I am using the Peer Gynt yarn by Sandness Garn for a project in stockinette. My stitches look uneven and l am not sure if it is me or the yarn. The yarn thread twists as l pull it from the skein and fabric curls up.

please help :’)

My grandma's stainless steel cup doesn't have a handle, so she knitted a cozy cover for it with a carrying strap on top, almost like a mini bag. Unfortunately, I didn't get a picture of the top with the strap

Started my first sweater for a baby gift. So far so good! I think I’m going to use DPNs when I get to the sleeves instead of the magic loop method. I don’t like how loose inbetween stitches gets for me with the magic loop.

Hello, I am hoping that this lovely sub may be able to help me.

My best friend's nana passed away last year, and they recently got around to cleaning out her house. I have been loom knitting for a few years now (mostly making beanies, scarves, and a few baby blankets), so they asked me if I would like her yarn. Of course, I said yes.

They brought by two storage totes a couple of hours ago. The first was primarily filled with beautiful yarn, including a bunch of merino blends (my yarn-loving heart is incredibly happy!). When I opened up the second tote, in addition to more yarn there were also many projects in various stages of completion. I will admit - I cried at seeing some of the pieces. The time, love, and care that went into making them... I feel truly honored to have inherited this.

I have decided that I would like to finish two of the projects for my best friend and her mom, who is like a second mom to me, as a surprise for Christmas.

The piece I would like my best friend to have is a [mostly-finished orange sweater](https://i.imgur.com/GIVXOo1.jpg). [One sleeve is missing](https://i.imgur.com/xLNbr5D.jpg), and the [hem](https://i.imgur.com/9ciGmdS.jpg) and sleeve that is present have strings that need to be sewn in.

I'm not entirely sure [what this one is](https://i.imgur.com/8Qj4VyH.jpg), but it kind of looks like a shawl? I was thinking Mama H would like it. It is on a big circular knitting needle. (If this isn't a shawl, please feel free to let me know what it actually is!)

I suppose my main questions are:

1. Would it be possible for me to attempt to finish these on a knitting loom, or would using knitting needles be better?
2. If the former, how would I go about transferring them to the loom and finishing them off?
3. If the latter, would anyone be able to recommend relatively easy patterns for someone that has never used knitting needles, that would achieve a matching appearance to the parts already present?

A big thank you to anyone willing to help!

I also wanted to share some pictures of some of the other amazing things I found in the storage totes, some of which I would also like to finish for her eventually. Nana was super talented! I'd like to be half as good as her someday.

Here is a [beautiful blue scarf](https://i.imgur.com/OtTVCOv.jpg) that I folded into quarters for the picture. This is likely the only piece that I will actually keep for myself. It is my favorite shade of blue, and the texture is very satisfying to run my hands over.

[I really like this beanie.](https://i.imgur.com/78lsPI4.jpg)

Here is a single [baby moccasin, with a matching hat](https://i.imgur.com/tFPPMAq.jpg)! I squeed at this.

[A baby shawl](https://i.imgur.com/uvWC9Vl.jpg)! This looks to only be missing a button? Perhaps I could knit a little flower or bumblebee or something and attach it, as well as add a button. I absolutely love the detailing on this.

[These arm warmers](https://i.imgur.com/JlI2Q3e.jpg). One is finished. The other appears to be mostly finished, but the sides need to be attached so that it forms a tube. Very soft.

[Another baby shawl](https://i.imgur.com/c78NkRW.jpg)! The sleeves on this one still need to be finished, threads sewn in, and button added. This one is probably my favorite.

[A third baby shawl](https://i.imgur.com/SyBomRP.jpg)! This one honestly looks really good as is.

it's like I can knit now lol. I tried the magic loop for the decreases but it did not feel magical:/

both of my cable knit sweater panels (front and back) join at this kind of edge. i’ve done a bunch of research but can’t figure out what the best method to sew these two pieces together is, please help!

I’m finishing up a sweater and found a stitch with a snag. This little thing is a lifesaver for snags and splitty yarn! Overpriced but it does work. I think it’s called a Snag-it. You just put it on top of the snag and push through the fabric and it pulls the unsightly bit to the wrong side.

🎵Look at this sock, isn’t it sweet Wouldn’t you say that my stitches are neat Wouldn’t you think I’m the girl The girl who knits everything

Look at that toe Kitchener sewn How many colors can one yarn skein hold? Looking around it you’d think Sure, she’s knit everything

I’ve got heel flaps and gussets aplenty I’ve got ribbing and knit stitch galore You want pattern repeats? I’ve got twenty But who cares, no big deal I want more

I wanna be where the second socks are I wanna see, wanna see ‘em matching🎵

I thought I was really doing something cool with the color choices here and I'm realizing it really looks like some gaudy 70s upholstery fabric LOL

It's 100% acrylic for the fuzzy parts and 100% polyester for the other half. I saw Eucalan Fine Fabric Wash would work for the material, but I'm nervous about loosing the 'furriness'

I did tubular cast on / bind off in my previous project and loved it but it was a 1x1 rib and there was lots of resources for it. This rib doesn’t seem as common (it’s basically a whole tank top in this rib pattern) so I’m looking for resources to do this - I’m open to other methods that are seamless or close to it!

Hello knitters! I am currently knitting my sleeve and am not so sure about how it’s looking… I picked up like you would for a vertical edge, but there is a distance between the picked up edge and the stitches on the body. Will this block out? I made sure to not pick up the stitches loosely… or am I picking them up wrong?

Thank you! Any input is appreciated :))

Bashed out a little knit and frog refresh.

Haven't picked up needles in 7+ years, I only ever made small Jean Greenhowe-esque toys like my Gran taught me.

I only know how to cast on&off knit, purl, ktog and slip.

Any ideas on next stitch to learn, or easy patterns?

Thank you!

Currently working on a Piazza Tee by the amazing Sari Nordlund. I swore off knitting a while ago, convinced it wasn’t for me. Then I found combination knitting and everything just clicked. Like I’m a chart reading beast now somehow idk. Anyways yarn is Daylights by Harrisville Designs in the color way “lint” (it’s the purple one for those familiar). Just wanted to share a WIP I am simply ecstatic about. Happy knitting everyone!

I'm very new to knitting and when I was purchasing needles I bought a set of short(16inches from tip to tip) circular needles. They were too small for the hat i started so I bought 30 inch. What are short circular needles used for?

Hello! I have just posted this in r/vintageknitting but wanted to post here too.

I've got the physical copy of this pattern which is the vogue knitting spring/summer pattern 5 CROSS STRAMP TANK.

The magazine directs you to the online site https://www.vogueknitting.com/pattern-help/charts/chart-spring-summer-2007/ for the cable pattern chart. The link unfortunately does not work.

Does anyone have a copy of this by any chance or a way I'd be able to access it? I've emailled vogue knitting with no response. I've also tried way back machine and didn't see anything but could just be my fault as I'm not sure how to use this site!

Thanks so much for any help. I've attached a photo of the pattern.
