I have to be honest and confess I honestly have no idea of the terminology, let's say anything but Intarsia lol
I've seen some sets of square needles, do they feel too differently to round? :o
Ooh that's a great idea as I can get fixed circulars. I've read good things about the Karbonz in the smallest sizes. I currently use a US 1 (2.25mm) wood fixed circular for knitting socks and it's ok, but I feel the tip is a bit blunt, not pointy enough to really get into the yarn.
Just a heads up, this pattern is being updated in 01/20 with a new version for round knitting (which has become my favorite way of knitting), there's also gonna be a KAL going on for the re-release, so I'll probably jump in and knit a ee one for myself :)
Hello fellow southern hemisphere dweller! π Love the color combination of your yarn
Thank you! <3
The Sunflowers are one of my favorite of Vincent's paintings but they didn't translate too well into yarn xD Bummer because I got THREE skeins of it (in my defense, it was a sale). I'm thinking about what to do with the other skeins, maybe incorporate them into a fair isle sweater (one of my to do projects for 2024).
I hope the Universe brings a knitter into your life to give you many unrequested knit items. I have way more yarn and time than body to wear all the knitted stuff I make/want to make.
Do it!
Maybe because it's from a local (to me) designer and the Ravelry community around here is pretty much non existant is the reason there are few projects.
I just learned this year at 36yo and I'm a leftie (which always adds some complication). I started going to a knitting meetup once a week, but mostly learnt at home with my mom (she's been an avid knitter since she was 6yo) and through YouTube video tutorials. It has a learning curve like everything, but once you learn the basic stitches (knitting and purling) there's a whole bunch of things you can do. I started with hats, headbands and cowls.
It is very meditative and has helped me a lot this year with my anxiety and depression after a somewhat nasty breakup from a long-term relationship. There's also the feeling of achievement after finishing a project.
I think I'll keep up making swatches for garment where sizing does matter but keep winging it willy-nilly for accesories lol
