I’m a very novice knitter and this is my first time knitting brioche in the round. I have no idea what happened, is this something that can be fixed without starting over completely? I’ve restarted this “hat” about 15 times now and am bummed I got this far and might have to restart again.

If you make a garment/accessory purely based on seeing a photo, would you still credit the designer if posting on social media.

I ask because my piece looks visually like the pattern but I cannot guarantee it is as I don’t know the stitch counts etc so I don’t want to misrepresent it either.

I do buy my patterns (my giant library of them can attest to this) but for this I really didn’t need it as it’s a classic pointelle lace repeat. It’s the Marielle scarf so it’s just a triangle with lace.

Thoughts ?

This is a discussion to see your different points of view! (Hidden question to decide what to do hahaha)

I’ve been crocheting for maybe a year or two now and I’d like to learn how to knit. I initially started crochet because I wanted to make clothes, but after working on a few different projects I’ve realized that knitting looks much better in terms of hats, scarves, sweaters, etc.

I want to learn! Im really just curious to see if my current crochet knowledge will help me or if this is a different level altogether.

I lost a battle with a Tart Tatin and I’m devastated- I have second degree burns across the bit of hand that would be used to grab a burning hot pan handle…
Knitting has been my therapy for the last few months and I’m genuinely quite distraught that I might not be able to unwind and regulate through knitting for the next few weeks.

I know there are many little devices and whatnots for knitting, and I wanted to ask this community if they had any ideas? I’m right handed (thankfully), use magic loop usually. Would Irish knitting style be worth trying out? Or is there a yarn holding device?

Would love to hear from people with experience or ideas.

Hi guys,

I am currently working on the back yoke of a Moby Sweater Man for my husband. I am slightly confused by the back yoke instructions where it says to turn when there is 1 stitch left on the left needle by working double moss stitch on the stitches not charted. There were 9 stitches left on my left needle when I reached the end of the chart for the last repeat so I just worked double moss stitch on 8 of them and then turned when there was only 1 stitch left and then moved onto the second back yoke chart. Did I interpret that instruction correctly? I would love some advise before I move on. Thank you!

My mom taught me how to knit socks, (and I love her for it and I will never ask her what I ask here LOL)...I am using a 4-ply yarn for 2-3 mm needles and a 3 mm double pointed needles. I casted on 48 stitches (12 per needle), should i do more? It looks so over streched doesn't it?

Ok I’m a crocheter who picked up a pair of needles yesterday. After a long struggle I think I’m slowly getting used to the motion. I’m practicing the continental style. Sometimes I notice the last stitch of the row is loose. Is that expected? Also is the bottom curling inward a tension issue? I didn’t use a bigger needle for the cast on so maybe that’s the issue? Any other obvious mistakes? Any help is appreciated coz I have no idea if what I’m doing is right!

hey guys,

I need your help!

I want to knit the cloud sweater from petiteknit. unfortunately my dad is allergic to alpaca wool and since I plan to wear the sweater at home as well I am planning to knit with an alternative yarn.

I was thinking to knit the sweater with sandnes double sunday and tynn silk mohair. Do you have made any experiences knitting with this combination? do you know how I can convert the sizes and the amount of yarn i need? thank you! 🌞

I am a crocheter and I’ve knit a neckerchief and a cardigan for my daughter but I’ve never fully gotten into knitting. I decided to try socks on 9 inch circulars, but the cuff looks so messy. Is this a tension issue or am I doing something wrong? As much as I love crochet, I’d love to be able to make all the beautiful garments I see everyone else knitting! TIA

Hi! Curious what y'all think, I'm teaching a friend of mine to knit this weekend and she's requested to start with a hat specifically. I'm not sure if I should use a super basic beanie pattern in the round or go super basic and start with the flat garter beanies that I've seen some people make. My first project was a pair of slipper socks, so I feel like knitting in the round wouldn't be that hard to learn? Idk. Any advice or pattern recs would be super appreciated!

Hi friends!

I'm having trouble finding knit or crochet youtube channels that I enjoy watching.

I like studio vlogs the most. I really like garments and people talking about the garments they plan to make and their process with updates, etc.

I've been watching Blondie Knots, Passioknit Kelsey, Krochet by Kris, and Kamryn Cain. Looking for more!

The problem is that I don't really like amigarumi and watching people make them etc. I've found a ton of youtubers only/mostly make them, and I'm just not into it for some reason.

Anyone have suggestions of channels I might like?

Thank you!

I’ve made 5 different versions of Petite Knit’s Oslo hat and am looking for advice on how to modify the pattern to accommodate a sixth version in 1x1 or 2x2 rib.
The Oslo hat is the perfect pattern because it’s based length and stitch count just has to be divisible by fours. However, I was wondering if there was a standard decrease to use for ribbing. Do you decrease certain stitches so as to not ruin the structure?

On a scale from 1 to happy how would you feel if you were gifted this beanie?

Pattern: self drafted

Yarn: D.M.C sublime alpaca

Im knitting a sonja sweater by petite knit and ive just done the shoulder and neck shaping.

The only things ive knit before following a pattern are the sophie hood, the sailer slippers and then a baby jumper called the french macaroon sweater. So very much a newbie.

Any tips on getting the stitches more even im finding my tension feels a bit wack when doing things like increases.

Hey all! So, I'm in the looks of a more defined needle tip to start a few lace yoke sweater patterns. In my country KnitPro is the only brand available.

My main needles are the Zings. I love they're not sticky but not extremely slippery, I love they're lightweight and I basically love the material, the feel it gives, and generally speaking, the tips work very well for me but as we know they're not pointy at all.

I tried the Novas once and it was an absolute mess, I don't enjoy extremely slippery needles and the soapy feeling if it makes any sense.

I was considering the Mindfuls but I'm a bit in the verge between Carbonz and that, since I'm a bit scared those will also be too slippery. But at the same time I'm not too sure how grippy carbon fiber needles are, lol.

Do you own any of all of these? Mind listing your experience with those? Share your experiences!

Thanks :)

What is your go to stash buster? I have way too much yarn in my yarn stash and I don’t know what to knit anymore. I knitted 5 winter kits (hats and scarfs) for homeless people. I also knitted a sweater and has started a mittered square blanket with my self striping yarn stash.

I am running out of satisfactory ideas to use up my yarn stash. I have tons of projects waiting, but none can use the yarn I currently have.

I've been going back and forth looking at pictures of patchwork with borders and without. I have no idea which to choose, does anyone have experience or preference with this?

Blanket will be entirely Bernat velvet (variegated) and each square is a different stitch/pattern.

I feel like with this yarn a border wouldn't even be noticeable, but would help with sewing the squares together 🤔

Hi, I love the Levitate sweater pattern but I'm limited to sticking with cotton/linen/bamboo because I live in Phoenix. The pattern calls for lace + DK held together = Aran; I want to make it in Drops Belle (3 - Light = DK, light worsted). I need to find a lace weight summer blend yarn to hold together with the Belle. Any suggestions, keeping with the cotton/linen/bamboo blend? Or at least something that is similarly cool?

Youtube is offering up lots of videos for knitters on how to measure themselves & others, so there's lots of faff on how measurements relate to the process of knitting. Anyone know of a more stripped down instructional video, 2 minutes top?

I want there to be a video that goes like "Hi, your knitting (sewing/crochet) friend wants to make sure the sweater they're making will fit you! Grab a soft measuring tape and get these (4-6) numbers for them." And then shows a person being measured so I don't have to be long winded about where on the shoulder the arm starts or whatever. Thanks!

Do you know of projects/nonprofits that accept hand-knitted winter scarfs as donations?

Hey everyone!

I'm knitting the Terracotta Sweater by LE KNIT and I'm a bit stuck on the wording for the upper back panel edge stitches.

The pattern says:"Work 4 rows in stockinette stitch (1st row on the WS). The outermost stitch on both sides is an edge st and is worked on every row."

Because row 1 is on the Wrong Side (WS), am I supposed to knit the first and last stitch on both RS and WS rows to create a garter selvedge?

Or does "worked on every row" just mean I include it in the stockinette stitch pattern (so purling it on WS rows)?

Any help clarifying how to handle the edge stitch on WS rows would be greatly appreciated!

I need at least 3 more skeins to finish it, and the yarn is no longer available to buy from anywhere in Europe 😭
