The challenge was replicating all the rogue stitches and ‘happy’ mistakes (the stripe halfway) in the second sock. Last picture shows the colours best! They’re far from perfect but I’m chuffed I finished a whole pair tbh.

Any tips for a nice toe-up pattern with maybe a fun texture? I’m not ready patience-wise for colorwork and floats yet I think. Thank you!!

For several years now, I have been knitting baby blankets for family and friends and have never made one for myself. Until now. After losing my sweet dog a year and a half ago at the age of 16, I wanted a way to remember her time with us after we rescued her. This subreddit inspired me to look to knitting a temperature blanket, but I had a hard time figuring out how to breakdown the color pattern for the 13 years we had her in our life. With help from my husband, we figured out a plan after doing some more research with the data. Each 4 row section represents a month of her life and correlates to the average high temperature of where we were living at that time (we moved across the country and then back again). This took just over a year to finish and I couldn't be happier with how it turned out. I will forever miss my very first fur baby, but so grateful to have a blanket capturing her 13 year life with us to hold onto forever

What things do you look for at fiber festivals? Are there items you would like to see but don’t? I know I like to try different spinning wheels because I don’t see them many other places. And I find if I’m taking a class there is always something like an orifice hook that I need because I dropped it on the way in. 😒

I want to make this jumper for my boyfriend, but it’s made in flat sections, and I really want to make it in the round if I can as I find it much quicker.

I’ve found it on ravelry, and it seems like quite a popular pattern. Some people have said they managed to convert it into the round, but I’m not sure how.

The second photo is a picture of the of the pattern instructions to make the jumper in the flat. In the last photo I have also showed some of the maths that I tried to do, which I thought would be successful to do it in the round, but the more I think about it the more I’m confusing myself and I need some help! I don’t know how to maintain the correct amount of purl stitches at the beginning and end of the row (as the original pattern has more to factor in to the seam allowance, but I don’t know which stitches to get rid of for kitting in the round).

I know that I have to convert the WS rows for the round, which I have already done in my own pattern.

I also want to knit the sleeves in the round (the pattern is in the third picture) but the pattern is different again and I don’t even know where to start!

Please help if you can, I’m an intermediate knitter, but not good with maths!!

If anybody also has help on how to turn it into set-in sleeves aswell that would be great, but I’m not as bothered about that.

Idk if I’ve explained myself very well so I’ll also answer any questions! I’m very grateful for any help :)

I found this image on Pinterest and unfortunately the comments were turned off so I couldn't find the details. I tried image searching but nothing came up. Does anyone recognize this pattern? Thanks!!
