HELP. The instructions say to do German short rows but then describe some yarn over and slip business. I’ve only done the slip purlwise and rotate yarn to back to create a ds, GSR. Are they interchangeable? I’m confused 🥲 #knitting #knitsky 🧶

Is lazy swatching better than no swatching? 😅 #knitsky #knitting #catknitsweater 🧶

Currently trying to swatch stranded colorwork in the round and it’s driving me nuts. I’ve restarted it thrice. 😡🧶 This is making me want to say screw it and just start my project 🥲 #knitting #knitsky #catknit

Reasons my boyfriend is a walking green flag. After telling him I scheduled my IUD exchange, and him knowing how badly I’ve been dreading it, he asked if I would rather him get a vasectomy instead. 😭

My two gauge swatches for science…top is in the round, bottom is flat. I think I cast on maybe seven more stitches for the flat swatch. Both with 4.5mm seeknit needles. Top swatch matches gauge. Flat is too big. Steam blocked the top swatch, wet blocked the bottom swatch. #knitting #knitsky 🧶

I need a gauge of 20 stitchesx29 rows. I have 16 stitchesx26 rows, would going down from a 4.5mm to a 3.5mm suffice? I’m swatching with mohair so I can’t really just make unlimited swatches. (Can’t frog all this mohair to reuse yarn, can’t afford to use a bunch of yarn on multiple swatches)🧶#knitsky

If you are #knitting a sweater both flat and in the round, which way do you swatch? #knitsky 🧶

Ugh. I purposefully ordered directly from a brand’s website and somehow #amazon still got my business? They delivered my package 🤔

Finished a nice color block hat. Pattern and yarn by #purlsoho I think I’m going to focus on a few small projects like hats and mittens and perhaps the #sophiescarf to break up all the sweater patterns I want to do 🫣 #knitting #knitsky 🧶

Hi #knitsky . Me again. Does anyone have any videos they can link or advice on how to join in the round, after working the first several rows flat? I’m working a pattern that begins flat, does some raglan increases, then casts on ~20 stitches to join in the round. The casting on is straight forward.

Just got my #seeknitcurve knitting needles in the mail and my first impression is that they’re GORGEOUS. #knitsky 🧶 #muud

Is there a way to weave ends in, in knitting that doesn’t result in a thick line/peaking through to the right side? Am I just weaving in too long a tail? Roughly 6-8 inches sometimes. #knitting #knitsky 🧶
