I’m leaning to this realization also. Maybe because I have teeny tiny hands

I found out about it online, I think because of an IG reel that mentioned it and prompted me to look it online because I hadn’t heard about it. I started knitting after a -big- breakup so I haven’t had the chance to ‘test’ the curse lol

Thank you! <3

Aw man, I’ve been super MIA from here and I just noticed my awful cowl on the sidebar, yay me! 😂

I want to propose showcasing types of yarn. Like, variegated yarn, self-striping yarn, something along those lines since we’re running out of actual techniques lol.

Oh thank you! I didn’t realize I had the wrong link, I’ll fix my post now :)

I’ve seen those patterns on Ravelry but I thought they were way too over my head. Thanks for letting me know they’re acually newbie-friendly. I think I’m gonna try the Basic Doodle cowl first :)

Thank you for the insight. As I started researching I read something similar, someone recommended metal needles for tight knitters and a more grippy material for those who tend to knit more loosely. And I started noticing that my acrylic needles work really well with slick yarns, but are a pain with grippy fibers. So I might need to have two sets, right? wink wink

RIGHT? We were walking through Girona with my (local) friend and I saw it in a shop window. Sadly the store was closed that day, so we had (yes, had) to come back a few days later for me to get it. I also got a hand-dyed merino skein from another store in the city.

I mostly put on re-runs when I knit because I can’t take my eyes off what I’m working on xD But I have seen people knit without looking at their work, so it’s definetely possible. I’m nowhere near that point myself though lol.

I have no idea, it seemed like forever because I’m a slow knitter. But there’s so much stockinette, it does make for some mindless knitting.

Thank you!

Thank you!

I think I’ll keep up making swatches for garment where sizing does matter but keep winging it willy-nilly for accesories lol

thank you! and thanks for the pattern recomendation, those look so cute/cozy!

I have to be honest and confess I honestly have no idea of the terminology, let’s say anything but Intarsia lol

I’ve seen some sets of square needles, do they feel too differently to round? :o

Ooh that’s a great idea as I can get fixed circulars. I’ve read good things about the Karbonz in the smallest sizes. I currently use a US 1 (2.25mm) wood fixed circular for knitting socks and it’s ok, but I feel the tip is a bit blunt, not pointy enough to really get into the yarn.

Just a heads up, this pattern is being updated in 01/20 with a new version for round knitting (which has become my favorite way of knitting), there’s also gonna be a KAL going on for the re-release, so I’ll probably jump in and knit a ee one for myself :)

Hello fellow southern hemisphere dweller! 👋 Love the color combination of your yarn

Thank you! <3
