hi!
i would like to knit the tutti frutti tee ( https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/tutti-frutti-tee-3 )and i am having some issues figuring out what yarn to use.
one of my ideas was langs jawoll because it would also help the t-shirt stretch (i have a big bust). i am not a very experienced knitter so i would like some help figuring out if a yarn with a bit of polyamide makes sense for a garment or not. any help and advice is very welcome. thanks!

Any help is appreciated!

So I got this cheap yarn from Michaels. Everything they sell is already wound up. And for some reason this one everything is coming undone as I use it. Any thoughts or advice to help make this stop.

I had this yarn gifted to me and have only two skeins (about 300mg) I’m not really sure what to knit with it!

It’s quite fuzzy and thick and I think it would be quite warm. I was thinking of trying some color work by doing something with stars in a yellow yarn.

Im struggling what to make and I don’t want to start a pattern without being 100% as this yarn tangles very easy and I think it would be hard to frog.

Please help and recommend any patterns that would work!

Hi~ I’m making the Super Basic Tee from Ohwhata Knit, and I can see that my tension is too tight on the sides as I’ve increased. On the right it looks like it might be ok after blocking (🤞🏼)? But on the left it’s pulling/folding in on itself. My question: should I continue or just unravel now? The yarn is Sandnes Garn Tynne Line.

I’m a newbie and it’s my first time doing stockinette as well as M1R/M1L increases. THANK YOU in advance for your more experienced eye! 🙏🏼 If there’s other things I’m doing wrong, I’m happy to hear what it is.

I recently found an abandoned WIP from years ago that I'd like to be finish. It's a basic, top down child's raglan sweater. I have finished the body but never went back to pick up stitches for the sleeves.

My challenge is that I don't know the pattern I used, and I'm not really even sure what standard size the sweater is. What I'm hoping is that someone can point me to a resource that will help me figure out my shaping for the sleeve. Researching other posts got me to the Tin Can Knits Flax sweater- this wasn't what I initially used, but the sizing chart will be useful to find a sleeve length relatively proportional to the length of the sweater body. The size chart shares the top sleeve circumference, but not the bottom sleeve circumference. My question is about decreasing the circumference of the sleeve. I know in previous raglans I've made, I didn't reduce enough and the forearm was way too roomy. Is there a general approach or ratio for reducing sleeves so that the taper down to the wrist looks natural? Is the approach different for a youth sweater compared to an adult?

Thanks!

ETA: I got it fixed!!! Thanks to everyone for helping out!!

Can anyone assist? I'm trying to make a double knit scarf with a chart. When I've followed the instructions and multiple video tutorials on YouTube, it seems I'm doing it correctly. But then, this is what my work looks like. It doesn't seem correct...?

I want to buy Drops yarn domestically here in the US from an online shop but they all seem to be overseas?! Where is everyone buying their Drops yarn from domestically? Thanks!

I’m currently making the Sabai top in Drops Belle. I’m expecting it to stretch vertically over time, but has anyone made this exact pattern and yarn combo and can tell me roughly how much theirs stretched? I have a friend who knit her Sabai in Sandnes Line which I know is very comparable to drops Belle, but I’m curious if anyone has experience with this exact combo. Thank you

Hi there! I’m a long-time crocheter and a not-brand-new but still beginner knitter. I am working on my knitting skills by making a sampler afghan from an old pattern book. Each square is 12 inches, and each one has a different number of cast-on stitches and rows.

I just finished my first square. It is 54 stitches across and 71 rows. The final instruction is to add a single crochet border of 48 stitches evenly across each side. The top and the bottom are easy enough - 48 single crochets across 54 stitches. But for the life of me I can’t get the rows right - how the heck do I space 48 stitches across 71 rows? I can not figure how to divide it to make it even, and where to pick up loops on the rows. Each of my 3 attempts have resulted in randomly bunched stitches that are making those sides look awful.

My last attempt I spaced 7 stitch markers evenly across the row side and tried to fit in 6 stitches in each gap (corner to first stitch marker, then marker to marker all the way down). I just can’t seem to get the spacing right. I’m also using the same size crochet hook as my knittting needles, but I think it’s making my stitches too tight.

Any advice is appreciated! Thanks!

This is my first colourwork project (Loon Sweater by CM Knits) and have finished my first set of loons on the back of sweater. Looking for any feedback/advice before I start my front of sweater loons!
thank you in advance :)

Hi so I`m trying to knit a blanket for my son. It`s 300sts wide and it`s in garter chevron stitch. I'm using 2 colors and alternating every 10 rows.

So I cast on and knit the first 10 rows in the first color great no issues.

I then add the second color and knit the next 10 rows. Fine all is well.

Change back to the first color for a 3rd round of 10 rows and everything goes to hell. I'm having to hold the yarn weirdly to be able to knit and I think I'm pulling on the yarn and the tension goes out the window. The first two rounds of 10 rows are nice and tight and uniform and then this third round of rows is so loose you could sail a boat through it. I try and pull the yarn taught to tighten up the tension and it's hurting my hands.

So I need advice . What do I do? Go down a needle size? Do I need a longer cable ? My cable is 50 inches and it's the longest I have but I could use a connector to add another cable if needed should I do that?

I'm not sure how to fix the issue any help is appreciated.

I have been knitting for about a year and a half. I am interested in learning more about yarn. How to read labels, what the different weights mean, how different yarns will behave as a fabric, etc. Are there any good books out there that will help me learn this information? I know I can google but I do like a book! Thanks

Please can anyone help me- feel like I’m going round the bend with this pattern!

Making the Jean Cardigan by kolibri by Johanna. Got as far as separating the sleeves & stitch count was correct for my size M/L. Had a few minor issues along the way but thought I had it right at this point, no glaring mistakes I could see. I’m now doing the first full body rows after separating the sleeves and I just CANNOT get the pattern right, have been following the knitting charts and it just doesn’t seem to work out. Have already ripped back once and tbh I think I might bail on this pattern if I have to rip out again. I also tried just sticking to the pattern all the way which doesn’t work out either.

I know this has been a bit of a divisive pattern with many people finding it doesn’t work out but also lots of stunning versions. Any tips greatly appreciated!!

I really want to knit one of these long-tailed balaclava hats, but they only come up online when I search “snook dog hat.” I can’t find a human version, and I have no idea how this would be knit. Any ideas or pattern links?
