That is some really beautiful yarn. I love that untangling reduces your stress levels. I can’t look at this picture too long or I might have to lie down, lol.

I’m pretty cranky about commercial posts, although I do think there’s a big difference between someone who is an active community member sharing a pattern they are selling and someone that just posts when they’ve got something to sell. The sticker post seemed to me to fall into the second camp - posted twice (different but similar usernames), posted across many different communities, etc. Honestly I don’t know how you write rules for that, though - get out the calculator and check ratio of helpful posts to commercial? Sounds like the Reddit minimum karma for posting rules that end up prompting a bunch of generic comments just so people could get their numbers up.
I left an in-person knitting group a while back after it seemed it was just becoming a captive audience for member’s MLM sales, so maybe I’m more sensitive than most. There’s always the block button, though.
I sure hope they are still around! I think it was a member on craftster.org, which is no longer, sadly.
At the risk of looking like an actual lunatic, please allow me to share my preferred way to visualize the “legs” of a correctly-seated and twisted knit stitch: https://i.imgur.com/qSpPd18.png
Not sure if that will make any difference for you, but the visual is always entertaining to me.
Those look great! Your cables especially are very neat. I think I spent like my first 6 months knitting twisting my stitches until some kind soul straightened me out.
This is awesome, thank you! I hadn’t even thought to check for a miniatures community.
It will make a big difference if you learn to “read” your knitting so you don’t have to try to remember. For a standard ribbing, if the stitch you are about to work is in a columns of V’s, you knit it. Otherwise you purl. Of course, that probably doesn’t help much with the setup row…
I can’t see all the comments, so this may have been mentioned, but make sure you have a good spot that gets bright sun most of the day. I don’t even bother with herbs indoors because my kitchen faces East and I don’t have a bright enough spot. If you notice your plants starting to look a little “leggy” (sending out long shoots with lots of distance between the leaves) that’s a good sign they are not getting enough light.
I love this! Not sure what you mean by “ends”, though. Are you referring to the whimsical fringe in the armpit of my sweater? That is a design element!
