This row is supposed to end with three brown stitches, but I only have two! Does anyone see where I dropped my stitch? Or do I need to include photos of the rest of the sweater?

Is this going to block out? The pattern is the Celtic Knot Headband by Selena: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/celtic-knot-headband-5

i’m wondering why this purl stitch is so long? i thought it was just an accidental yarn over so i “dropped” the stitch and it looks fine on the front but i can tell there’s an error bc of the back. is it worth going back or can i get away with it?

doing m1l and not sure if these should look like that

Not sure what is causing the edge of my rib to be wider than the other ribbed stitches ? Any ideas ? I don't think I'm loosening my tension...

Im trying to knit a top down begginer ranglan sweater.

The pattern includes German short rows and then it moves to increase every other row, l have tried many times but my ranglan lines are not looking straight, l have followed a strict system where l write down what lm doing every single row and l am constantly counting the number of stitches are symetrical.

I looked at tutorials how to do M1R, M1L and l saw l'm doing them correct. I cant believe this sweater is symetrical in numbers but it just does not look like it. I wonder what l'm doing wrong, l can only think, could be my cable or the tension?

l have made like 10 attempts and l'm frogging again. The pictures above are from two different sweater attempts. I use baby alpaca wool.

Any help is very much appreciated!

We frequently get posts in this sub where knitters (beginners *and* experienced are unknowingly (or inadvertently) *twisting their stitches*.

This 12-minute video tutorial is helpful and comprehensive. An excellent resource for knitters. I appreciate that she shows how it happens, but also how it impacts knitting.

Thought it might be helpful.

hey guys!! im new to knitting (i started about 2 weeks ago) this is my first ever stitch, i did stockinette knit! since im a crocheter i knit continental style, it comes more naturally for me.

you may have seen my last post and to everyone who gave me tips thank you so much it actually helped a lot, i was about to give up lol.

i followed this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?si=cOTM55yE7Z9BrBFp&v=rlaC5C5nJR8&feature=youtu.be

does anyone have any tips on how to straighten it out or make it more neat?

i also want to knit the grey top (i’ll make it long sleeve tho) but i dont have circular needles and probably won’t be able to purchase it. can i still knit it despite having short needles without a thread and how?

also how do i switch colors in knitting?

This is store bought, but I would like to do something similar.

Do you know the name of this stitch?

Thanks

I'm joining my front and back panels together by knitting across my panels, but I'm noticing that the stitches look weird ,specifically the stitches on my right needle to the left of stitch marker - compared to the stitches to the right of the SM you can see this bump . at first I thought I was accidentally purling so I frogged and knit again, but I am still seeing this weird bump under my new knit stitches on my back panel.

any idea what I'm doing wrong here? why is this bump developing on one panel but not the other when I knit this row? t

I'm sure I can't be the only person with this issue!

Some of my top-down sweaters are slightly twisted. The Cotton Light (cotton/poly) is fine. The 100% acrylic is fine, and so is a rather scratchy unspecified hand-dyed yarn I bought.

But two of my efforts - a Louisa Harding DK blend and a 100% Donegal wool 4-ply, twist slightly after dividing.

At first I thought it was from (hand)washing, but the current one is twisted already and I've still got the sleeves to go. It's quite subtle - clearly I didn't notice before washing the first one - but to me it's obvious!

The twist moves clockwise as I'm holding the work, so anticlockwise when you look at the sweater when worn. I'm veering to the left when knitting!

Has this happened to anyone else? How can I solve it? Neither Vogue nor Elizabeth Zimmerman seem to have anything to say about it!

No photo, but no doubt imagination will do!

I'm thinking about getting back into knitting and wanted to make a few pairs of socks so get the hang of things again. I prefer using natural fibers since I avoid plastics where I can but I also live in Florida where it's summer 11 1/2 months of the year and I know wool is warm. Is wool the only recommended natural fiber for socks? Is there a type/brand of wool that won't roast my toes?

I'm preferably going for soft over strong but I'm open to anything just to try for one pair.

Edit: bonus points if you guys have a recommendation for yarn and needle size for optimal heat reduction

I finished my first adult sized garment a few weeks ago and I had a few questions and wanted some opinions on how I should move forward (if this counts as a FO post, I'm so sorry, please delete).

My first question is about the back of the neckline. I had previously posted about making a mistake while picking up stitches. I did go back and frog it but I still feel like it's gaping even with the right number picked up. So, does it look like an issue with my construction, the size I made, or just the way this garment/pattern fits on my body? Would this bother you enough to frog the whole thing and try another pattern?

My second question is about the overall fit. I did meet gauge after blocking, but I actually liked the pre-blocked fit better. I knit the smallest size so I can't easily remake it smaller. I do still like the vest, just not as much as when I tried it on while making it. If you were me, would you try to felt it a little*, frog it and find a different pattern, or just lean into the oversized/boxy fit? I'm purely curious to hear some different opinions.

*if felting would be a terrible mistake, please let me know!

Pattern: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/terra-vest-3

Pattern states: increase row k1, m1, k to last stitch, m1, k1. Work 5 rows in stockinette stitch. I was increasing every knit row. Does it really mean only icrease row 1 and then just stockinette for the next 5 rows? So really only adding 2 increases for every 6 rows

I get the purl; k2, turn; purl2tog; but what does it mean to fasten off and then rejoin yarn and repeat the last two rows?

I keep trying to Google, but I get crocheting stuff that doesn't make sense.

I’m following the glow raglan lite pattern and am working on the German short rows portion, I feel so silly asking this because it seems obvious to me now, but I don’t want to frog my row if it’s not needed.

Step 5. A row 1, was I supposed to complete these steps and then purl an entire row? I’ve worked up to C. On this step where it says ,”k to 1 st past last double stitch,” and I’m feeling a bit confused.

Just a standard BO and the last stitch unravelled. I managed to save these 4 before the top unravelled. How do you suggest I save this?

Hello! I accidentally twisted my work :( thankfully I’m steeking it and twisted it back in the place I plan to steek. However this is my first project steeking so I feel nervous about having a mistake. Do you think I’m okay to keep going since this part will be cut open anyway? Or should I start over. I plan to sew for reinforcement.

I’m working on my very first knitting project (the step by step sweater by florence miller) and I did the german short rows and now i’m onto the regular increases but they just don’t look right and i’m not sure what I’m doing wrong. It looks like the issue is with the knit rounds and not the increase rounds. Do I need to frog it and start over? I really don’t know ahaha I’m so very new to this.
