I made this Fortuna's wheel jumper when I first found out I was pregnant, and today my toddler got his own 🥰

I used the sverrigsgade pattern and transposed the charts myself, wasn't too tricky!

HIGHLY recommend using leftover yarn (or intentionally over-ordering) to make matching jumpers for your wee one ⭐

I've just finished my first steeked project in time for the arrival of a new niece/nephew.

This is the strawberry garden baby blanket by Josh Henzler, completed in a mix of drops lima and karisma and some yarn local to me, Susan's family.

The pattern is ok. I found a few areas a little unclear, but the chart is lovely. Crochet edging is completed wrong side facing and that along with blocking made such a difference with the curling edges. The only part I'm quite disappointed about is the steek stitches where I caught the white yarn are a little obvious on the border.

I chose to duplicate stitch the strawberries, inspired by some other projects. I had originally thought to complete them with colourwork but I thought this project would be a good push to improve my duplicate stitch skills and was worried about tension issues with three stranded colourwork (another area of mine that needs some work!)

To do the steek I used the crocheted method with some light felting at the ends. I then roughly sewed the steek edge down, and a very good friend sewed a green velvet ribbon to hide the edge.

The blank section in the middle of the blanket is just waiting for new family member to be named! And I will then duplicate stitch an initial. I'm torn between red or green, so would love other thoughts please!

Strangely enough, this is my first-ever sweater, even though I’ve been knitting since I was 12! I’ve been obsessed with putting custom colorwork charts on hats for the past 6 or so years and finally decided to try the same thing on a sweater. The yarn is Cascade Yarn’s 128 Superwash Merino Wool (color 518), and the pattern is petiteknit’s Louisiana sweater—which is knitted in the round, so I had to improvise to put a design on the chest. I ended up using long pieces of yarn and knitting fair isle just across the width of the motif. There were a lot of ends to weave in this way, but I don’t think you can see the extra weight after blocking! I’m really happy with how it came out, and it was a quick knit—only three weeks from start to end, thanks to the jumbo yarn weight used. Stay tuned to see if I’ve been bitten by the sweater bug now! :)

​

I was knitting my way along this morning and was just soooooo astounded by what a quick knit this is. I looked at it on my needles and thought that *obviously* I'll be wearing this very soon. Well! 😂🤷🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

FYI, my last few wearables were bottom-up and this is my first time knitting top-down.

Pattern is Tolosa by Audrey Borrego Tolosa by Audrey Borrego

Junko Okamoto’s HANA in Cascade 220

I had purchased this yarn last year to knit my boyfriend a sweater and tried a couple times to make him one but knew deep down the relationship wasn’t right and couldn’t bear to actually ever finish it. We broke up early September and i immediately cast this sweater on, it’s like a big warm hug and very imperfect, as you can see I ran out of the gray yarn on the last sleeve and the stitching is messy but I love it!

I was a bit ambitious after finishing my first knitted project, I decided to take on the Dot Top by p1zip (https://ravel.me/dottop) and I'm so glad I did! Definitely not without mistakes, but it's such a fun and rewarding project. The I-cord edge around the neck and armholes really took it to the next level, although I decided not to do it on the bottom edge since the fabric feels comfortable as is

Yarn used was Queen City Yarn Coleman in the shade Soot and Casasol Bambú in the shade Mostaza

I am a live-in caregiver for my 95 year old grandfather. I often knit while I am sitting with him, and he has started asking me to knit specific things. This is my favorite, which I just finished today. He wanted me to knit it for my dad. My dad is thrilled.

Pattern was A Comical Hat by Cheryl Molnar. My grandpa liked the starting 2x2 rib so much he wanted me to just stick with that instead of the offset rib design.

The Block O is craft felt cut to shape and wrapped in scrap yarn, then sewn on while the hat was stretched out. He specifically wanted a handmade patch sewn on and I had no idea what I was doing so I got creative.

Yarn is AlohaBlu Hawaii in the colorway Red Gray White. This yarn is what started it all, he wanted me to stop my other projects to start with this yarn right away.

Edit: photos are of my dad!

This was me a couple of weeks ago, and now they are done! I set myself the little extra challenge of making the same mistakes on the second that I made on the first, which mostly involved places where I miscounted my rows and had an extra row of knits or purls in the garter section. But because of that, I finally took the time to learn how to read my knitting! Wins all around!

Pattern: rye socks by tin can knits
Yarn: dream in color (smooshy) one-of-a-kind

My Renanculus is done! I never thought I'd make one, but my LYS hosted a KAL and I joined mostly for the company. I kinda get the hype now - it's a beautiful sweater and was so fun to knit!

I used fingering weight merino held together with mohair, both by Majo

I used to knit back in high school and I'm now 35 and found cheap yarn and needles at the thrift store so I decided to give it another go. I'm addicted! I can't put my knitting down xD What has happened to me?? I'm not even into knitted end products (I don't wear knitted sweaters, etc), I just have this urge to do another row...and another row... and another row... and before I know it it's 2AM and I'm a zombie the next day.

I'm currently making a plushie for my daughter and I'm very excited! Anyway! Just here to see if anyone experienced the same as a beginner 😄

Also, genuine question, do people often get muddled in their head with the knitting counts? Any tips to keep track of the number of rows and knits? I made a lot of mistakes and accidentally unraveled a couple of loops and I don't know how to fix it. I'm gonna find out!!

Double-knit using merino wool AKA the softest thing ever! 🩵 Really love the colors on this one. The design is an homage to Eadweard Muybridge’s experiments in capturing the movement of animals, specifically ‘The Horse in Motion’, which laid the groundwork of what would later become motion pictures.

Materials used:
- Yarn: Lang Merino +
- Needles: 5 mm

Doodle cards and scrap yarn for this.

I’d love to line this with a fleece or fabric so the inside threads don’t show while I’m wearing it. Has anyone done so — sewing on a lining?

This sweater I finished last year and it is my favourite. It’s Arctic light Sweater by Veronika Lindberg made with acrylic. It was my mistake I washed it together with other clothes and I didn’t check the temperature. I think it was 60 or something like that because it doesn’t mame sense why it grew. Now it’s larger, and I don’t mind that but the neck ribbing is floppy and all over the place. It doesn’t hold shape. This is knitted top down so I am not sure I can re-knit the neck. Do you have any suggestions? I wanted to make the same sweater in purple next, but It takes me another month or so, plus I feel bad about all the yarn and time spent on this sweater. Do you have any suggestions?

I went through some old boxes when I found this ancient gem from years ago.

The first and only sock I ever knit, never made a second one. And swore that I’ll never knit socks ever again. But back then I also absolutely hated knitting lol.

Any suggestions on what to knit with around fifty 10g yarn balls? they are sport weight and each has 26m of yarn.... I bought it as a lot online but I didn't realise they were tiny little balls! There's around 1,300 meters so I could make a big something or a bunch of little somethings, but I have no idea what is a good thing to make with all these... None of them are the same color 🤣

i’m enjoying knitting my stripe overload cardigan, but omg i feel like i’ce been stuck working on this increase section for a billion years 😭
posting to commiserate and hopefully get an energy boost to finally finish this part 😤

Someone posted about dog hats the other day and it inspired me to make a couple for my pup. They were a ton of fun to knit up cause I just kept imagining how cute my dog would be with a funny hat lol.

My cat wants to eat my gigantic knit winters pullover because it smells like a sheep

I have a tiny apartment and there are no spaces to keep both the gigantic sweater in (flat) and cat out

🆘

ETA there are no spaces to block off in a tiny apartment, that’s like The Whole Thing otherwise it wouldn’t be tiny lol

I am a crocheter and embroiderer who decided to pick up knitting. I thought to start small to get my hands used to the motions. This is the first knitted object I have ever produced. Lots of mistakes have been made. I learnt I was creating twisted stitches for half of the scarf and messed a lot of things up but thought to cherish the final product nonetheless so that when I am at a more advanced level I can see how far I have come. I have done the same for my crochet and embroidery projects and it is lovely to see the progress made.

Hi! Im making a Lillehammer sweater https://ravel.me/184---lillehammer-1994
That’s my first time doing something with steeking and I’m a bit confused about the neckline, since sweater doesn’t divide on back/front parts. In the pattern it says to cast off for the neckline in front. I did it. Am I supposed to finish this row, cut the yarn and start again at the beginning of the collar? English is not my first language, hope I explained clearly enough what I mean 😅

This is my third project so I’m still figuring out stitches and how to correct things as I’m working. I’m currently making the August baby blanket by Therese Hedlund and noticed an error at the edge of my garter section. Looks like maybe I did the increase at the wrong stitch but corrected it in later rows? I really don’t want to undo the rows I’ve knit since then if I don’t have to so any advice is greatly appreciated!

First photo is the mistake (where the dark green section switches to light) Second is what it should look like.

I’m pregnant and knitting my baby their first cardigan and whilst following a free YouTube Video I managed to miss the instruction (even though I watched the whole video first) to make a buttonhole before I start the raglan increases. I was so stressed I had finished 22 rows (11 rounds of increase) there was no way I was frogging without a cry.

But I found this YouTube video and so chuffed I did it! No cutting required and it lines up perfectly without distorting the band. I just can’t believe I managed to do it.

As someone who still feels like I’m a beginner intermediate, I’d say that’s pretty impressive! 🎉✨

I've been knitting for about a year now, but the only things I've made so far are a few scarves and 3/4 of a temperature blanket (all in knit stitch). I feel ready to tackle some wearables, but I don't yet feel very comfortable with anything other than a knit stitch, so I figured I'd do some swatches.

I didn't want to only attempt a new type of stitch when I needed it for a pattern, because I'm kind of a perfectionist and I want to feel like I know what I'm doing and what I'd be getting myself into when looking for new patterns to make. I'm pretty happy with how they turned out, and now I'm ready to start a hat!

All swatches done with Lion Basic Stitch Anti-Piling yarn on size 8 needles (Waffle was done on size 7).

In case my tags aren't legible, from left to right, top to bottom:

• Knit
• Double Moss
• 1x1 Rib
• Stockinette
• Waffle
• 2x2 Rib
• Seed
• Brioche
• Fisherman's
• Moss
• Broken Rib
• C4B Cable

For the hat I'm using Lion Wool Ease Acrylic Blend with the Melt the Ice pattern (which I bought last winter and only now feel ready to attempt). My first scarves weren't completed until spring, so I'm looking forward to actually completing an item in time for its intended weather!

Knitting has been a really amazing addition to my life, and has been a hobby my ADHD ass has finally been able to stick to! Shout out to all the wonderful fiber artists in this community; y'all inspire me to keep going! 💜

Purple Dixie Pixie Hat is done. This is hat number 3 for me in this pattern. One more hat to go and I am retiring this pattern for myself.

I bound off 7 stitches instead of the initially planned 5 when I started shaping, and rather than frog it, I bound off 7 on the other side too and recalculated the rest from there.

It ended up perfectly symmetrical, and I got the slightly less-pointy shape (see my blue hat) that I wanted.

No serious blocking planned; will just wash it and shape with hands.

Pattern: Dixie Pixie Hat

Size/mods: adjusted for ~50 cm head, 75 sts cast on, less-pointy shaping

Needles: 3.5 mm

Yarn: 2 strands held together

Rico Luxury Merino Alpaca Dream Aran — 70% virgin wool / 30% alpaca, 125 m / 50 g

Purple vintage mohair — exact brand unknown

Feedback always welcome. Tips for weaving in ends appreciated as it is a current pain point for me.

My Petite Knit Cloud sweater using Lang Cloud Tweed color way 4, knit for my partner. Surprise! It blocked out a lot! It’s already an oversized pattern and I knit a large, realistically I probably could have knit a medium. What’s done is done. It’s gone for two 8 minute low heat tumbles in the dryer in a garment bag, which did help a little. I don’t want to re knit the whole thing, but love this yarn and want this sweater to be worn to death. Right now I am thinking the neckline is where I’m most unhappy. I’m thinking of redoing it, picking up fewer stitches on the sides to encourage the shoulders to come up some, and doing an entirely different neckline. I’m not sure what though. What would you do for the neckline? Thinking another tumble or two after that and then making peace with it being cozy.
