Ugh. Just ugh. Does this indicate a flaw, or gnawing pests of some kind???

Look on website Simply Socks! And be certain you buy yarn that is a wool/nylon blend for durability and washing! I used 100% wool on a pair, and now they fit my grandson (he is 6)!

Your knitting is lovely. I am glad you can be present during this time with him. I used to work in hospice, and your being there is more of a gift to him than you can ever know.

Oh bummer. We all do it, but it's still curse worthy!

I like a closer fit. And, while I do like a round top down yoke, a raglan style fits me the best.

Purple and teal handknit sweater.

I finished the Sonrae sweater by Jenn Steingass, using Wool of the Andes sport wool in Sprinkle Heather and Baltic Heather. I had to extend the length as I am long in the torso. I also knit cuffs on the sleeves in place of the roll hem. It's washed, blocked and waiting to dry. #KnitSky

I knit Continental and cannot throw, so I quit trying! You can knit how you want to!

Hmm. They won't be a distinct contrast, but more subtle. They are contrasts on the color wheel, but similar in tone. I am working on this in a heather purple and teal, that has similar effect. Depends on what you are wanting!

I have used paperclips or scrap yarn as markers when in a pinch!

Snow baths. Hang or lay out in the cold air. I store mine folded in a plastic lidded bin during summer. After wearing, I will just lay it flat for a few days, then fold and put away. In my small mind, this gives it a chance to relax back before folding...Who knows if it's true? 🀣

I get it too. But it really makes me sad. Last summer I flew the Minnesota state flag instead. Be ause I live here, and, well, you know the rest. I just ordered a new one with the Resistance Loon on it.

I have to do this all the time, as I am long in the torso! I compare to one that fits me too! A pattern is a how to and a guide, not the law!!! πŸ˜‰

If you like it and you will wear it, keep it as is. If not, gift it or fix it.

Colorwork is magic to me: switch some colored string back and forth, and paint a picture in fabric!!
