WIP: Monday sweater in c/knitting@feddit.de
[–] nyr@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

I had some problems with the raglan increases in the short row section at the beginning - it's a bit difficult because you might lose your place in the pattern. Technique wise it's only M1R, raglan, M1L but back and forth, so four different stitches. Basically, it's just a matter of keeping track and working slowly. There's an explanation for each of the four stitches. You could color code them so you know which ones are on the wrong side.

Otherwise, it's just stockinette, ribbing and an Italian bind-off.

Updating to show current status! It's going along well and fits nicely.

WIP: Monday sweater (feddit.de)
 

I've recently begun the Monday sweater by PetiteKnit with some discounted alpaca yarn I had lying around.

Has anyone here knit this pattern yet and can share some tips? I'm knitting quite a small size because 15-20 cm of ease seems excessive for me. Stay tuned to see if I am going to regret this choice later on :D

I don't think sugar is too healthy for a kitty.

His decision is not to be trusted. He regularly tries to steal bread and eats small pieces of foam.

At first, I thought he was going to sniff it and walk away.

Then, I thought he would only lick the water off.

BUT THEN HE BIT INTO IT.

And no, I didn't let him eat the whole strawberry.

What's your most knit item category? (feddit.de)
 

As I knit mostly for myself, it follows that I have to knit items I am likely to wear.

And I don't like wearing a lot of knit items - I like knitting and creating things by hand but I hate the feel/look of anything other than sweaters and cardigans, which is quite unfortunate for a knitter.

You wouldn't catch me dead in a knit skirt or dress, for example. Also, I can't tolerate knit socks on my skin but I am thinking about giving this one a try again.

Sweaters and cardigans unfortunately take me a long time so I am glad to knit some small stuff for others when I get the chance. I really enjoy the process and I think I create beautiful stuff. I haven't had the chance to knit for others too often, though.
