    Hi Eliza, great to see you back with your sock knitting :) I too have knitted the Riverbed pattern and enjoyed it but I got to the same point as you and stopped too 😂 Maybe its needing to have a break after all those pattern repeats!

    Glad you are back! You gave us enough inspiration in your previous videos to keep us busy knitting socks! I am anxious to knit this pair but I will use fingering weight and light speckled yarn. Next month, I will purchase Vol. II of 52 Weeks of Socks. Today, I am starting Stephen Wests 2024 Mystery Sock Along. Clue 1 is here!

    Yes to the lilac tweed with white flowers for the six of daisy! I'm gonna do the green aran tweed from isager with white/lilac flowers 😆 i still haven't decided if i'm making the sweater or cardigan yet (also have yet to buy the pattern haha) but we could do a buddy knit to motivate each other finishing it 🤣

    Ok hear me out: I live in a landlocked state and I LOVE my lime skirt and wear it all the time. I think that for some reason sheer clothing makes peoples styling brains turn off. This seemingly frivolous project has unlocked something within me. So generally I wear it over bike shorts or a workout onesie. Recently, I've worn it with my black lululemon capris from middle school that, imo, is a fun take on the black capris trend right now. It looks good with small top: baby tee, cropped blazer, fitted cropped longsleeve, etc. It looks good with big top: oversized mens button up, oversized leather bomber, oversized t shirt, and i bet your oversized sweater would work. I made mine in bc garn allino in light brown. The barber pole light brown tan combo gives very mermaid caught in a fishnet vibes. Can't recommend the yarn though because its off gauge and took a lot of finessing the pattern to get right. I think a neutral color like black is a great idea. I think that the orange pants will be similarly successful. havent made them though

    over bike shorts is a cute idea too! i just cast on the wave sweater and you've convinced me that the lime skirt will be my cast on after that! also love the "mermaid caught in a fishnet vibes" haha

    I read a book called fibershed years ago before I learned how to knit and I think the whole concept is SO interesting! That’s one of the main things that got me into knitting and I hope that one day I can afford to buy nice locally grown and milled wool yarn that would make me so happy but I feel like I’m not there yet with my skills

    I believe she divides by 6 so the amount of stitches that will become the back and front can be twice as long as the stitches that become the sleeves. so if you were to use 108 chains, divide that by 6, your sleeves would be 18 chains each. then you multiply 18 by 2 and get the amount of chains for the front and back, which is 36 chains total, 34 plain stitches + 2 raglan stitches.

    You did a beautiful sweater. Everyone's math is different. When I used to just see how sweater math was years back I noticed this. And you can use what you know with knitting raglan math in crochet as well too. I have done so but try watching Benjamin krudwig textile and design crochet sweater tutorial. I remember his math was simple and easy to understand and when I started knitting I did a lot of random exploring and found his math simple enough. Even though I am barely diving into knitted sweaters I do remember his videos.

    I have a tip for you if your tension is tight and foundation chains are hard to work into! Use a bigger hook when making the chains. I usually go 1 or 2 hook sizes up. It is relatively looser

  • @mickeymack4172
    @mickeymack4172Ай бұрын

    It can be really helpful to do your initial chain with a hook size bigger than what you're going to use for the project so it won't be too tight.
