Depends on the item. For socks, almost always 2mm. For other stuff 3mm usually but varies

Also one free handed convertible glove

Thank u

Leaning towards incorporating ladderback jacquard vs altering the colorwork chart but idk

Commemorative photos bc I'm about to frog back to here 😔 🧶 #knitting it's too difficult to get past my heel though it's the right size once it's on

Love colorwork so much. Pattern is pastoraali ii #knitting 🧶

Thank u 🥰

Yeah they don't get twisted, structure is the exact same as a regular ssk you just skip the slip slip bc the stitches are already mounted that way.

I've seen people talk about eastern/western yarnovers but I feel like no ones been comparing other stitches

🧶 been waiting to wear this since October I am so relieved the rippling blocked out lol #knitting

Ladderback jacquard short rows were as painful as it sounds. Kind of just didn't feel like properly weaving everything in, a lot of it I just tucked behind floats lol

Blocking all cooped up sweater by Caitlin Shephard

She's finally done 🐔 one day I'll get blocking pins I swear #knitting

I took a long break from this bc I kept getting sick 😭 and had to knit gift stuff but hopefully I'll finally finish this soon

Free handed convertible boucle lined wool mittens for my baby sister #knitting 🧶 they're so fluffy and squishy

It costs significantly less to just Google and then the actual people are credited who gave the information or wrote the pattern. I believe people should do what they can, conscientiously and it's not asking a lot for people to not use chatgpt when everything is online already

I don't think it's worth the ecological and human cost just for information that is already available online

Me too, they're apparently overwhelmed by Google/ravelry or don't understand human written patterns and would rather put it into chatgpt than ask someone 🤷🏻‍♀️

The main issues i have with it are the ethical problems with gen ai besides that it doesn't actually understand knitting, anything it does know it stole from actual designers. There are thousands of free patterns and resources out there. time.com/6247678/open...
futurism.com/the-byte/env...

🧶 been seeing a couple people use gen ai on knitting reddit, recommending it for beginner questions, asking it for patterns?? there has to be more pushback from the knitting community 😭

Pair of small gray gloves with 1x1 ribbing

Wearing one of the gloves

🧶 Knit a pair of gloves for my grandma in 3 days. Almost made them fingerless bc I wasn't sure how long her fingers are but it's a good thing I didn't bc immediately after I gifted them she talked about how cold the fingerless ones someone else gave her are lol
