  • Podcasts are great to listen to while knitting/ crocheting/ stitching. I find it easy to have something like football on the tv while I’m working. Movies grab my attention too much, but it’s the visual stimuli that distracts me.

    But if I just sit quietly and work, that’s no good either. I’ll distract myself within minutes. Podcasts seem to be the best combo of occupying my attention just enough that I’m not bored and can also follow patterns.


  • Yes and no. The pattern allows to either make them in the round or just flat. If flat, I can use the same loom but just only the number of pegs needed. I’m hoping though that I have a round loom that is right-size for me to do them in the round so i won’t have arm seams to sew. I’ve picked all my looms up from thrift stores, and have 3-4 round ones. I just haven’t looked ahead in the pattern to see how many pegs I need.


  • I’ve been meaning to reply for several days and kept forgetting. Sorry about that.

    It is loom knitting. This one has 62 pegs total, and the pattern called for 58 for (what i hope will be) my size. I’m using a smaller gauge yarn than the pattern, so my test swatch was coming out smaller, ofc. To compensate, I went up a couple sizes, and basically will measure this panel and compare against my actual clothing measurements when the panel gets a big bigger. I just hit row 60, so about a third of the way done with this piece.

    My first embedded picture post on Lemmy so please forgive if I hose up my notation.

    Also my first knitting project! I picked crochet back up 10 years ago now.

    I’m excited that I’m starting to see the fabric pattern! I hadn’t noticed the last time I worked on it, because it was late and not well lit…

    edit1: Jerboa doesnt like html markdowns even though it shows up in the preview correctly

    edit2: found a markdown suggestion on YSK, helpful… best shortcut I can figure is use Jerboa link tool then add an ! to the front, but don’t be like me and not notice that it added a space between my ! and my [
