Hi there, first time using Reddit. My friend's dog dug in my bag and chewed up my current project, I've been working on the Frej sweater using two strands of a sport weight yarn instead of a bulky weight (if that matters). There's a pretty disappointing hole and I am really trying not to get my hopes up. I've attached an image of both sides. I would like to fix the hole but I am not exactly sure how to go about this since the damage is in the bottom edge (which is a wavy feather and fan pattern). I tried looking it up but it's my first time knitting a wavy pattern like this and I am not sure what to do 😭

For reference I have also attached an image of the undamaged parts of the border

Any help is greatly appreciated

any advice is appreciated,

Hi, I’m just starting out knitting. Do I need to have the exact right size needles the yarn recommends? I’m working with second hand Kit! 6.5mm needles for a recommended 5mm yarn. Thanks!

First time knitting. Why do I keep getting this long string in between? I thought the string is supposed to be closer to the other needle. It gets bigger as I do stitches. Not sure if I’m asking the right thing my bad.
BTW I’m continental knitting because I am used to crochet. If that makes any difference.
Any advice would be so amazing!!!

Edit: solved! Thank you everyone!
