Kickstarter Friday

#Knitters #Knitting question:

I want to try a nice 'mindless' simple pattern but - it requires adding stitches *every other two rows*

So knit row 1, knit row 2, add increasing end stitches for row 3, knit row 4, knit row 5, adding increasing stitches in row 6 .. Continue until triangle is wanted size

What / how do I easily see when to increase ?
Row counter is not an option (dyscalculia)

Might be other thinking, but know I'll forget which row I am on ...

Thank You

Good on ya #Ōtepoti #knitters.

"But as word of Crofters Yarn’s troubles spread across Dunedin, the community stepped up to help. ... the knitters rallied and began meeting at the Arthur Street School Library, Cobb & Co, The Corner Store cafe and Toitū Museum several times a week.
But the biggest response was still to come. To Aitken’s amazement, attendance at the public knitting sessions has exploded, and knitter numbers have tripled over the past few weeks. "

For all the other #writers and #knitters out there, I recommend this text.

Btw, do you also sometimes knit while trying to puzzle out the next plot point of your story?

Ta da! 🎉 Despite trying to chop my index finger clean off (don't ask) and two stitches later (yes, in my finger, not in the work), I have finished the Melt the ICE Toque:

#knitters:

I want to make a nice warm poncho in u don’t know what color and also a pullover in a black yarn.

I have the poncho pattern but I have to decide on yarn for both and also a pattern for the pullover.

And the problem is that there are infinite yarns and patterns and I actually don’t even know where to start.

Should i just use mal abrigo for both? How do I narrow things down??

Just boosting this, can anyone help with a historical Yarncraft question?

Fellow #knitters, #crochet types, let me share with you this brilliant Japanese shuriken-style yarn snipper that I found in a little shop last summer, it’s compact, super sharp, and unlike scissors it’s safe to take on a plane. 🧶 #knitsky

Any #knitters out there? I think I would like to commission some "office gloves", thin merino wool fingerless gloves designed for typing. I have always had bad circulation and my office is always freezing. #knitting

EDIT: I wasn't clear that I wanted to buy these from a knitter, not learn to knit them. That would seem to be a pretty complex thing to tackle as a first project versus a scarf or potholder.

Progress report on my (first) Melt the ICE Toque. I’m doubling the 2x2 rib length to 4” so the recipient can fold it up.

Casting on for a Melt the ICE Toque.

Trying again - last time forgot tags (doh!)

#Yarnwitches , #Crafters , and #Knitters , in prep for learning to #knit a #sock , I've been advised to make something simple & tube shaped first

Please point me at some beginner (preferably free) arm / wrist warmers #patterns / video tutorials for circular needles?

I *think* that's a good place to start?

I'm self taught with English knitting terms & sizes references. I can cast on and knit and purl

Thank you in advance

walked past a #yarn store today that had a sign in the window declaring it to be a #crochet friendly store, which leads me to ask.

Is there beef between #knitters and #Crocheters?

If so--coziest gang war ever.

I am not done with my other knitting project but I'm going on vacation and want to bring a new one for space saving reasons..I'll put the yarn I have in the first comment

I'm debating these two cardigans. The one in green is more difficult to make with the cables and buttons and is more fitted/tailored so will be fiddly and I may have to restart a few times but I like it. The other one is easier but also more shapeless (although I suppose I don't have to make it as baggy).

Any advice/feedback/opinions? #knitting #knitters #amknitting
