I mean, it is a cute pattern, but it’s not the most amazing pattern I’ve ever seen. And no matter the season it shows up in the list of “designs with the most visits in the last 24 hours” section of my pattern highlights.

Has anyone else noticed this? What am I missing?! 😂

I have lots of alpaca yarn that I bought only because it was on sale. Most of the colors I have multiples of 10-20 skeins.

Six months in, iillnesst appears I am now making a king size blanket with a variety of tension (which I read about a lot) and the variety of yarn colors and sizes.

I'm not too concerned about it. I would like to learn, but have current health issues, so this is my form of fast and furious exercise. I understand my ability to adapt is not within the normal range.

I've learned about dropping stitches and how to pick them up.

I have months of treatment ahead, and a large garbage bag of yarn left, and I am doing my best to balance weight of the yarns and the colors throughout the blanket.

I have three skeins of Madelinetosh Twist Light (1,260 yds/ 1,152 m) and I’m thinking I’d like to make a garment in a fade style. Any recommendations?? Thank you!

I’m trying to calculate how much yarn I’d need to make TinCanKnits’s Flax sweateras a beginner project, but I’m having trouble understanding yarn weights. It seems that here in Australia we mostly go by plys, instead of names.

I’m looking at buying someone’s destash of Heirloom Easy Care wool 12ply. I’ve looked up charts but some classify 12ply as worsted and sometimes as bulky.

The pattern can be done in sock, dk, and worsted/aran so I just have to find the right yarn and I can start.

That's why I carry a crochet hook with me 🙄. Doesn't matter how long I've been knitting it still happens

Hi, I'm very new to knitting and I recently started making a sweater by following a YouTube tutorial.

The creator at one point uses circular needles and makes the body of the sweater in a circular direction. I simply followed her instructions, which were to knit all around.

After finishing the entire body I realized that in her video, she had knitted it right side out, so the knit stitches were visible on the outside, whilst mine had purls on the outside and knits on the inside.

I'm knitting in the same direction as her, so I genuinely don't know what went wrong, can someone please explain?

I tried to google answers but it only gave me answers for when people used straight needles... thanks in advance!

I can't seem to find the "pearl" and am brand new to finger knitting. How would I connect these for a baby blanket for my nephew?

Working on “simple beat sweater pattern” found free on Etsy, just wanted to try a small sweater for practice. The acrylic yarns are sooooo gross on bamboo needles… not sure if that’s just me or others experience this?

I had issues trying to lay it out flat but I did it! Start to finish at roughly 80 hours. It is around the size of a small double bed. Each colour is joined directly to eachother so no sewing needed.

For anyone interested, I used 8mm needles and 8 balls of dk wool (100g balls).

I've done both before, but I'm not sure exactly how to decide when to do either intarsia or fair isle on this particular pattern. This is my first time doing a sweater this way (bottom up, seaming the sides, I've done top-downs before).

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I've just joined the community and just picked knitting back up (from middle school). However, in what is sure to feel like a folly of ego soon, I've decided to make my second project something that calls for Italian tubular bind off in the magic circle.

I've been practicing tubular on waste yarn and can cast on fine, and can bind off in flat okay, but can't figure out how to do it in the magic circle. I've tried to use the same technique as in flat, using a tapestry needle, but I can't quite shift my stitches around right (as in I always end up with a twisted pattern, not the smooth flow you want from tubular)

There doesn't seem to be many resources for this specifically, so I wanted to reach out here to see if anyone else had experience?

I have about half a skein left of some really beautiful wool yarn that I thrifted. I can’t remember the weight but I’m using size 6 needles with it and that works perfectly. I already made some cute fingerless gloves with it, and I want to learn something new but have something mildly useful at the end (maybe a cool dishcloth or wall hanging?) pls suggest any patterns that come to mind!

I am a newer knitter and looking at a pattern and am confused by what I see for a moss stitch border. I think I know what moss stitch is (K,P rows 1 and 2, P, K rows 3 and 4) but I have never seen it abbreviated the way it is below, likely because i have never used it as a border. Does M6 for rows 9 and 10 mean K,P,K,P,K,P and then for rows 11 and 12 P,K,P,K,P,K? So I have to keep track on what row of moss I'm on?

Row 9 (RS)- M6, K to last 6 stitches, M6

Row 10 (WS)- M6, P to last 6 stitches, M6

Row 11- As row 9

Row 12- As row 10

Row 13- M6, K10, *P2, K6, P2, K44, rep from * to last 26 stitches, P2, K6, P2, K10, M6

Row 14- M6, P9, *K1, P2, K1, P4, K1, P2, K1, P42, rep from * to last 27 stitches, K1, P2, K1, P4, K1, P2, K1, P9, M6

I love knitting and my project list is growing longer by the day. I am okay at trying to use up my yarn stash and I don’t like to have too many WIPs at once because I find it stressful so that keeps me motivated, but I have also started crocheting too (when you have the yarn and notions, might as well grab a few hooks).

I do enjoy the process but I also really enjoy finishing stuff (even though I gift away 99% of projects because I lose interest in them as soon as they are blocked).

Can’t complain about a hobby that keeps me happy and busy but damn, some days I dream of running away to a hut in the middle of nowhere and just craft for a few of years just so I stop fantasizing about getting back to my projects whenever I need to work 😅

Edit: Seeing all the awesome projects posted on reddit doesn’t help because tell me why I just saw an amazing sock pattern that I need to make but I haven’t even gotten around to making my first pair 🆘

I have a niece that whats to started crafting and she asked which easier knitting or crochet. i hope i said the right thing , cause this confused me a bit. my oma taught me both saying some pattern look great in crochet and some look better in knitting. also knitting takes 1/3 less yarn than crochet. so that what I said and she still acting is easier. PS i German and hope my English is OK

I decided I wanted to knit my family (me, husband, 2 boys) our own Christmas stockings that will hopefully be used for many years. These are knit in bulky yarn, felted, then embroidered. The pattern includes suggestion for an added pompom/tassel that I might do later. I haven't done any embroidery in years, so this was really fun. Now only 3 more to go. :)

The pattern is “Lille Skagerrak” by Else Schjellerup, translated by June Thomsen, published by Filcolana in 2021. I used a 100% cotton.
