Ebly PamplemousseNot having any notes on which needle I used for the button band, I went with the pattern rec... Thought it a little large but thought it may settle down after a row or two... It didn't; the stitches were much larger. So, I ripped them out and started again with needles 2 sizes smaller. Result! Only I've now got to work what's effectively 8 incredibly long rows of K1,P1 using 2.75mm needles. 😢<a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Knitting" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Knitting</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/KnittingWoes" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#KnittingWoes</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/FallFinishAlong" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#FallFinishAlong</a>

Katy<a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/knitting" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@knitting</a> The cardigan for Husbeast has been put in the naughty corner prior to me frogging it. Everything is fine. It fits, Husbeast is happy. I realised that I don't have enough yarn for the buttonholes as planned. That's ok because there is a lovely border edge it just doesn't have any holes in it for buttons. So I'm going to take it with me when we go to Scotland. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/knitting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#knitting</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/wip" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wip</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/design" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#design</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/frog" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#frog</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/knittingwoes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#knittingwoes</a>

That's Mr Badger to you 🏳️‍🌈St Brigid updateSo. It's finished and I'm delighted with the construction, but and it's a really devastating but, it's way way too big. You see when I started it, I failed to take into account that I've lost a lot of weight these last 12 months, even though I reduced needle size and yarn weight to get gauge, it's still baggy as fuck.So now I need to work out how much I need to reduce it and frog the entire thing and start again.Thank goodness I enjoyed knitting this jumper<a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/KnittingWoes" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#KnittingWoes</a>

Ebly PamplemousseOh, I need a darning mushroom. I really need one.I also need to stop using dark coloured yarn.<a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/KnittingWoes" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#KnittingWoes</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Knitting" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Knitting</a>

Emily KingTonight I've been frustrated by online stores listing cable needles & circular/interchangeable needles as the same thing.They are not the same.One is used for cable knitting.One is used for knitting in the round.You could use an interchangeable needle for cable knitting but that would not be as helpful as using an actual cable needle. The cable from interchangeables can't be used for cable knitting.Gah.<a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/knitting" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#knitting</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/KnittingWoes" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#KnittingWoes</a>

Ebly PamplemousseNot content with having 2 WIPs, I started another the other day 🙄.(The sock is still sitting over there, now feeling very sorry for itself, but I'm not ready for it. And I need to find other needles for the cardigan - it uses 3 different sizes in total 🙁.)This one will be a Christmas present for the baby... In 4 ply... Will I ever learn?! I've done all the increases, I've even managed the *P3 K2 P3 K3 section. (Yes, it did require a lot of concentration and yes, it was annoying).I'm now on the *P3 K3 section. Except in the last row, I managed, half way through, to K4. And then, in this row, I managed to drop a stitch near the beginning. Even worse, when I was tinking back to it, I managed to drop another stitch. Both of them dropped down 3-4 rows. :blobcatnotlikethis: :blobcatreeeeeee:<a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Knitting" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Knitting</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/KnittingWoes" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#KnittingWoes</a>

Ebly PamplemousseAnybody else just want to shout out "Leave me alone for 1hr so I can finish casting off!"?Yeah, it won't take me an hour (if I'm left alone) but JSSBO takes a silly amount of concentration for me to do. And I can't just do a little, put it down, and then pick it up later and carry on from where I left off. I *need* to do it all at once.<a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Knitting" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Knitting</a> (Although maybe I should use <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/KnittingWoes" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#KnittingWoes</a> instead!)
