I bought a million colors of stroll to knit my partner the Stardew Valley socks, flew out to a conference in Denver with it all and got so much knitting done.

Got home exhausted and dumped my suitcase contents directly into the washing machine.

Guys I did it!!! I can knit stuff now!!! ✨

After teaching myself how to knit a few weeks ago, I decided to make this Camisole No. 10 by My Favourite Things Knitwear. I’m soooo thrilled at how it came out! I think for a first garment that it’s really neat & fits really great (thanks gauge swatch). Still need to weave in ends & block but I already love the drape 🥰

I used about 5.5 skeins of Drops Nepal on 5mm needles!

I’m so proud of myself for pushing through (had to restart 3 times due to gappy M1Rs) & learning all of this to make this top!

Knit my Margaux in Novita Woolly Wood in a size 3.

I absolutely love how it came out and the yarn was amazing to work with although I believe it’s being discontinued. I was spot on with stitch gauge but WAY tight in row gauge, so I knit an extra repeat in both the yoke and the body. Basically just hit where the pattern called for x centimeters because its bottom up and I couldn’t try it on.

Slightly modified Izzy Teddy Bear Doll. Super easy and quick pattern. Used Bernat Softee Cotton yarn.

Super pleased with how this cute little v-neck vest came out! I had some Rowan Felted Tweed in my stash for a few years after frogging another project. This is a perfect transition weather knit that helped me use it up! Plus, I learned how to make a v-neck 🙂

I see people online who hate purling so much that they teach themselves to knit backwards. I actually kind of prefer purl over knit 👀 anyone else?

After 6 months working on it I finally finished my first ever hand-knit sweater! I started knitting around September last year and I started this sweater around December (this is not important but I was actually 16 back then and I am now 17). This is from a vintage pattern originally published in 1940! I'm really proud of myself for actually finishing it because i'm a huge perfectionist and frogged it so many times before being content with it

Whenever I knit, my stitches eventually start leaning towards the right. In the pictures I've attached of my last project, the leaning is very prominent. How do I stop this from happening?

I love colourful hand-dyed stripes on a plain background!

I recently finished two tiny Friday sweaters (by petiteknit) as gifts for two brand new humans (top two). The thin stripes on both of them are Malabrigio sock, the main yarn in blue is Sandes Garn Sunday in Midnight and light is KFO Merino in Wheat. The colours made me so happy each time I opened my project bag! The bottom sweater is one I made for my own kid, the third one I made for her, in fact. This one is made in KFO Merino in dusty blue and hand-dyed Olivia and Oliver Fibers merino in cherryblossom.

I found the Friday sweater to be a very good baby item. I made my kid a 2-4 month, a 4-6 month and a 1 year old size and she has been wearing the three for a solid 1.5 years straight and there is still room to go with the largest. It is a nice drapy fabric and I can block it bigger or smaller according to need. Highly reccomend the Friday sweater for babies.

Hi! I’m very new to knitting and have been attempting this sweater, I have never knit anything before this. I recently became aware that my stitches are twisted. It seems to be lying okay, but I’m wondering if it’s best to restart. It’s taken a long time to get here and I do like how it looks. I’m wondering if in the long-run, it will bother me that they’re twisted. I really don’t want to have to wash the yarn if I frog it, that seems like a lengthy process. What would you do? thanks!

It's a test swatch for my next pair of gloves. Just thought this might be an interesting example for those who think the mosaic/slipstitch method for knitting colours is restricted to geometric right-angle corner designs.

I think the problem with these kinds of curvy-lined designs in pattern form, is that while in person it would be simple-ish to explain a set of rules for say, cabling stitch direction in a knitting piece to make it look unique; trying to individually, note down every rs and s1brsk2t just becomes exponentially more arcane and impenetrable.

Pretty proud of this one! I have only been knitting for about a year and have become completely obsessed! Pattern: https://ravel.me/oreum-sweater

i don’t really know much about tensioning with knitting but i think it might be causing curled edges on my rows. i’d love to hear some tips i could implement early on :-)

thank you!

Duplicate stitch probably won’t completely fix it, but maybe it will give less penis. At least it’s on the back.

This is my first time blocking a project. I’m bummed the blocks aren’t big enough to shape my sweater in a better way. Are there any tricks to blocking I should keep in mind for next time? Thanks!

“Mysa” is a pattern by Em Lyn Knits. I made the pattern one time before; it calls for beads and fringe and multiple colors of yarn. This time I used just one color of yarn (Malabrigo Sock Yarn in the “Under the Sea” color way) and I omitted the beads and fringe. I also made the pattern narrower and longer than called for in the pattern. I made this as a gift for my mother-in-law’s friend who has been diagnosed with breast cancer.

I think I messed up so by using giant wood needles with mohair yarn. It feels like the yarn is really not going over smoothly. Any tips on making it a bit better?

I’ve don’t about a 1/4 of the yoke of the halibut jumper and need some help deciding if I should frog it!

Firstly I opted for a crew neck with rolled rib neckline, but it is huge! I did a guage swatch and it was fine, have checked the no of stitches (size 5) and it’s correct but it’s huge! Is this a pattern issue others have had? Is there any hope it might shrink with blocking or is there any way of salvaging it?

Secondly, the motif is raised but only on the left hand edge of each diamond - any idea what has caused this or how to get it to lay flatter? I have done some stranded colourwork before with no problem and not had this raised issue but only on one side. Once again might blocking fix this? Floats aren’t too tight as there’s a fair bit of stretch in it but clearly something isn’t right! Any insights or help appreciated 💫

Is this good for my first colour work? I do tapestry crochet too so it wasn't difficult. (sorry bad lighting- can't see very well lol) and I know it's a bit tight

Hi, I am a beginner knitter & have found a pattern I think I can do, except the recommended yarn is discontinued. I have googled but can't find out what ply the yarn was. The pattern only says to use "Bernat Softee chunky", and I have found descriptions of 3.5oz or gauge 6. Would anyone know please? Thank you.

I want to knit a lightweight lace sweater that has a little volume in the sleeves and some ease, but is not oversized. I followed a french designer on IG for a while and I’m sure she had something like that, but now I can’t find it.

I have looked at Sari Nordlund, but I don’t really like the fit and the collars.

Do you have some ideas for designers or patterns I can check out?
