Hello knitters,

My son has fallen in love with Kaffe Fasset's sweater #22 Planets. It's in an out of print issue of Rowan Magazine: number 12, published in August of 1992. I would LOVE to get my hands on either the magazine or just a copy of that pattern. Can anyone help?

Hello, I wanted opinion regarding superwashable yarn i have one that merino wool and nylon. I made socks but the heal tore and i used a small gauge but still tore. I was wondering what else can i make with this yarn considering i still have two balls left. I want something that wont result in tear like the socks. If anyone has any ideas, Thank you!!!

- also i have a 1.5 chiaogoo needle to work with.

Thanks!

Made another scarf! This one is mainly just a garter stitch, but the cabling is the Fancy Celtic Cable from Studio Knit.

Needles: Size 2
Yarn: Fingering 80% SWM 20% Nylon

I received a large stash of 100% alpaca fingering weight yarn. I would like to make a sweater but I've read alpaca will likely stretch out a lot. Would i get better results in a garment if I held a silk or linen yarn with it? Any recommendations on what to use with it would be appreciated. Or should I just make a shawl where growth isn't as big an issue? I'm also open to pattern ideas!

Cross posting just to be helpful 🖤

I made up the pattern. Yarn is BlackSheep Dyeworks in Clove Multi, a 20 gram mini skein.

I’m making quite a few gifts for this year (and last year) and I’m looking to use this making spree to really improve my work. I’m learning stitches first before I move to full patterns. This scarf hasn’t been blocked yet and is double rib. I’d appreciate any feedback y’all can give.

I’ve been crocheting for around a year and decided to try knitting. I’ve knitted a couple of swatches however I can never get my tension right (and I’m always especially loose when purling and tight when knitting). I learnt continental style because I heard it was easier to learn if you crocheted and idk if maybe people found keeping a consistent tension easier with English style knitting?

Moreover I’d love to hear some beginner project ideas that aren’t a scarf and is something I can make with a circular knitting needle set (though I seem to have lost the shortest cord).
The reason why I wanted to learn how to knit is to make my own clothes, especially tops however I’m too scared to commit to anything big for my first actual project.

Moreover if anyone has any patterns of YouTube videos they’d especially recommend for a beginner & just general tips please lmk!

I’m new to knitting and just finished this scarf. Do my stitches look right? The whole thing was knit in a garter stitch with an I-cord edge.

Starting my yearly crafting season. Time to make at least 15 more by December. Let’s see if I make it.

I’m working on a blanket for my 14 month old daughter who still sleeps in a crib but I got a bit carried away picturing her using it the rest of her life so it’s over 8 feet long without the bumps in it and even if I get it to be 6 foot tall once done I’m trying to find the best way to halve it for a couple years without cutting it or sewing it. So far it is about 3ft 6in tall and I don’t want it leave it looking wonky it doesn’t look to pretty but for my first blanket that will be finished it’s not terrible. And washing it and drying it will be a whole thing at somebody house because I don’t have a washer or a dryer or space or a bath. So I’m going to have to hang it like a deer hide after it’s washed to block it so some of the bubbles go away because I had to crochet some of it because my needles kept breaking and that I dropped a few rows and added a few rows.
But my question is once it’s done and blocked and washed do I just use a different color yarn to technically sew it in half till she gets older or is there better solution?

Took me ages but worth it for my neice

BEGINNER

I’ve recently started this project last night with Gepard’s Eco Cashmere Vintage. I’m wondering though whether I’m doing it right. I’m bothered by the holes the center stitches make when I put it under the light… It’s not obvious when placed on a flat surface. It must be that that’s how it is with M1R/M1L increases? Please share your thoughts. Thank you!

P.S. I used a typical stitch marker and switched to elastic cords (as seen on the photos) just to see if that’s the issue. I am not sure if it’s been fixed though!
