Knitting

Hello @knitting@lemmy.world @knitting@a.gup.pe !!!

I have a pattern interpretation question and would really appreciate your help.

This is a link to the pattern:
https://rosarios4.com/en/montra/bulky-light-and-etnic-sweater/

There is a pdf download a little way down the page.

The instructions are minimal, lacking details for shaping armholes and sleeves in particular. I'm not experienced enough to work out these details for myself. Can anyone advise if this pattern is redeemable?

Being modeled by my dog:

It was surprisingly easy to do the stripe, I was expecting everything to fall apart! The real challenge was keeping the end from unraveling when I was done, but I managed... barely.

I own a Toyota knitting machine KS 901 and I recently found the matching ribber KR 501. The ribber is a bit in a rough shape but it's fixable. But when I tried to connect the two I realize that the ribber clamps that came with it are the wrong type and they don't fit right.

I've been looking everywhere for replacement clamps but I find very few. On eBay they're usually in the UK and they won't ship to me (I live in Belgium). Or I find generic clamps but I don't know if they'll fit my ribber.

(An image I found online of the ribber clamps I need)

Is there another place online where to find those? Or does anyone have the measurements for these particular clamps so that I can see if any of the generic ones match?

Designed by Sara Elizabeth Kellner:

This little mouse is worked in the round on double pointed needles from the tip of his nose to the end of his tail. Tiny ears and front legs are added after the body is finished. He is about 3” long (not including tail).

Some hand warmes with an owl cable stitch I finished recently. I didn't have much of a pattern, so I hope this post is still allowed.

Basically, I went off this picture for the owl/kable knit pattern and used some pattern for gloves to get the thumbs right.

I was thinking about maybe adding french knot stitches as eyes to make the owls more prominent, but I think I like the plain version better.

Can you tell which one was made first?

I used a custom color chart for this too since I wanted a different shape. The pattern I paid for is still bee-related (ravelry link)

To be honest I'm a bit unhappy with how much the floats show through and I tried different strategies to no avail. I think this little detail on the thumb I added is cute though:

Also the first time I worked with a pattern holding stitches and picking them up later.

Anyone got a super short and easy project to learn how to do cables on?

This is my progress on the Pierre Shawl (ravelry link). I'm posting this to say goodbye to it and gain the strength to unravel the many many hours of work it took me to get here. I got all the way to section 8 of 10 on this, and it is by far the largest and most involved piece I've ever attempted to knit.

I started this knit around 3 or 4 years ago as a gift for my (now ex) mother-in-law. After a couple weeks' worth of hard work, I had to put it on hold and never really picked it back up, mainly due to my dissatisfaction with the colors I picked not making as smooth a gradient as I wanted. Now that I no longer have ties to the person I originally knit it for, and because I neither wear shawls nor things in these colors, it is a bit useless to keep the project indefinitely on hold.

The yarn is some of the nicest in my collection (Berocco DK vintage) and these are also the only pair of circulars I own at the moment. I know it makes more sense to bite the bullet and unravel it all so I can make use of the materials elsewhere, but I'm struggling to do so because I'm so proud of what I created and know I'll never see it finished. So I figured I'd share it here! I'm particularly proud of how even my stitches are, especially at the end of the project!

This project taught me a lot about what I'm able to learn and do as a knitter and I'm looking forward to taking the skills I learned from this project to make new things now that I've picked up knitting again (I tend to go on long hiatuses from my fiber arts hobbies and I'm back on a crocheting and knitting kick).

From the original Mastodon post

Google are breaking my mittens - Sonofa. Twelve years ago I knitted a pair of “self-replicating mittens” (https://www.web-goddess.org/archive/14046) with a QR code that pointed you to the pattern for the mittens, and I entered them in the Sydney Royal Easter Show. I was pretty proud of my cleverness. In the blog post (https://www.web-goddess.org/archive/11192) where I talked about making the mittens, I said: I wanted my code to be as simple as possible, so I needed to use a URL shortener to mask my intended address. I settled on using Google‘s, reasoning that it was likely to be around the longest. (Though who knows these days, right?) You can guess what’s happened, right? Google URL Shortener links will no longer be available (https://developers.googleblog.com/en/google-url-shortener-links-will-no-longer-be-available/) as of August this year. Bastards are breaking my mittens. Perhaps I’ll have to add some embroidery. https://www.web-goddess.org/archive/56383

Deuxième paires de Chaussettes de l’année ! Je suis bien productive là ! Je peux pas vous dire grand chose sur le patron [https://ravel.me/woodland-walk-socks] parce que j’ai suivi uniquement la grille de dentelle. Mais j’ai beaucoup aimé cette dentelle, elle est très facile à retenir. Ça donne un bel effet pour peu d’effort je dirai. J’ai utilisé la laine Cachemire luxury socks de Rico Design.

😘Ein Buch mit Nebenwirkungen: Leserin Edith Kudlovic hat diese wunderschöne Flickendecke entworfen und angefertigt, nachdem sie meinen Jugendroman "Eine Tüte grüner Wind" gelesen hatte.

Im Buch strickt Lucy eine ähnliche Patchworkdecke – inspiriert von den Grüntönen Irlands.☘️

Hier schlummert Ediths Seelenkater Lazi auf der Decke.
