Oh, wait. Is it a hood?

That’s a high impact design. The neck treatment is attractive and unique. Is that knit separately?

Beautiful. It is a great winter color to combat β€œthe grays” of stick season. And it will be perfect for fall. I think I need more oranges in my life.

That lace pattern looks like little hearts running up the socks. Red is the perfect color for these. So cute.

Very pretty. It’s an overly spring cowl. And that color looks so good on you.

Oh, sorry. It’s easy to use knitter lingo & forget it sounds like gibberish to a newbie.

Knitting has so many tricks! I love that about the craft. I taught a newbie-ish (1 year) how to joint in the round without a gap developing between the first and the last st of the cast on row on her first hat. There’s always more than one way to get what you want. It’s so satisfying.

If you added a st you can drop both sts & tink back to the point of the hole. The extra stitch will fall out with no running once you get to where you added it and you just follow instructions above. You might have a slight amount of slack but it should be easy to ease into adjacent sts on the row.

Beautifully seasonal. Like tracks in the snow.

Well I quit them a while ago, but I I hadn’t, thus would do it.

They look like a plastic knock off if Flexies, which work because of the flexible part. When non knitters try to make knockoffs if knit tools… πŸ‘€

Any knitters users of Discord? I joined it for a test #knit last year. With Discord soon to require uploading facial recognition I’m not comfortable staying. They have so many tentacles in gaming etc. But I can’t find any functions to delete the account. Help?

More info on knowing what weight category your chosen yarn falls into, but I don’t know if you are fairly new to knitting. Don’t want to repeat what you know. But there are charts for that online showing yds/meters divided by weight and which classification that falls into.

Pattern is based on how the designer knits. It’s an average. So if you meet gauge without going too far from suggested you shouldn’t need to make more adjustments. If you’re using a yarn known to be a thicker or finer weight then there’s math involved.

08.02.2026 20:37 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

I always have to check myself on when I need to do additional changes. But I often go down 1, occasionally 2 needle sizes to get gauge. In principal if you’re using the same weight yarn with the same fiber contents one needle up or down is just an adjustment to how you knit.

I love them. Sadly I can’t knit on any needles smaller than size 2, so I only knit DK weight socks. Looks like a really fun make.

There are computer programs out there used by knot designers if you’re designing a pattern?

Yes I did, thanks. Did you repost their post with comments from you. The posts look conjoined.

The heel and sole are as beautiful as the leg and foot. Wow.

It’s beautiful. I’m not in a place to apply but best of luck. I look forward to the pattern.

Everyone is different I think. For myself I tend to knit looser above a 4.0mm/6US and need to go down a size.

08.02.2026 19:47 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

If I keep my floats loose it doesn’t affect fit. But I’ve heard others say it does. I think the main thing is the check a gauge swatch knit in the round like your sock will be. It’s common to knit tighter on tiny needles bec of the grip.
