And since we're nerding it: They could have gone the extra step to use the same metal for insert and screw. But as long as I don't bathe my interchangeables in salt water, we should be safe from galvanic corrosion.

That's knit-picking, you say? (I couldn't help it, sorry)

If others agree and find it useful, we could take the old-fashioned approach of [keyword] at the beginning of the post title, e.g. [fo], [wip], [question], [ad] etc.

On the topic of cables, here are mine - not nearly as impressive as OP's cardigan.

Pattern is A very braidy cowl and yarn is Austermann Camel & Wool.

Whenever I darn socks (which is not very not often), I try to do it before they get a hole, and then I follow the yarn to dublicate stitches (does that make sense?) If there's already a hole, I use a ladder darner. Both methods are slower than using strait stitches, but so much more satisfying!

What a crisp bubble definition! It looks amazing, wonderful job! Is the picture taken after washing/blocking the project?

Just a hypothesis:

Could it be, that post creation is synchronised between federated instances, but deletions are not?
If that's the case, nothing could ever be deleted from Lemmy - but that wouldn't be Jerboa's fault.

Great to hear about the doll again! I was thinking about it the other day (Is that creepy? Thinking about internet strangers' knitting projects?). You're doing great and it's most probably doable until next week, depending on what else you have on your plate. And as long as the baby hasn't watched certain horror films yet, the "creepiness" shouldn't be a problem either :)

All the best for your friend!!

Hi there! It's great that you took over.

Personally, I don't mind the occasional commercial post, as long as they don't take over the community. It would be nice to have them clearly indicated as such, though. BTW: Is there something like post flair on Lemmy?

Picking up the green theme, here's my WIP for the week. A cowl for a toddler based on this pattern. I've made the neck long enough to fold over and I'm planning to finish the edge with a light crochet ruffle in a contrasting color. The blue is just a provisional cast-on, a technique I learned for my previous project.

It doesn't look like much on the pic, but I hope for the best...

Thin fabric is not a problem - people used to repair stockings with ladder darners. But they are best used if single threads snap, creating a ladder. If the fabric is overall weakened, it's probably not worth working with a ladder darner (a fidely business), since the original thread is unlikely to hold on it's own.

Yay, WIP Wednesday! Although it is already Thursday in my time zone. This pic was taken yesterday, but then I got distracted and didn't post it.
Anyway, here it is, my late-summer top. There has been some progress, and alas, I just joined my last ball of yarn. It looks like it's gonna be a very cropped top, so I'd better start unravelling some swatches. (Did I lose a ball? Did I buy the wrong number? It's a mystery...)

Thank you so much for your insight! I know first hand of the difficulties - I have already frogged this sweater once :/

Considering what you wrote, I'm thinking of unravelling a couple of centimetres of the sleeves, based only on a wild guess. If after the wash I want back the lost length, I'll only have to unravel the i-cord. Or even skip the i-cord, wash it holding the sleeves on a lifeline and finish it afterwards. This way, I wouldn't need to unravel anything after wash. Would that work?

(Making and blocking a swatch would definitely be the adult thing to do, but I'm really not keen on the prospect of looking for more yarn...)

Did that evolve into four-at-a-time sleeves?

Thank you for the kind words!

An expandable gauge for button placement!
Don't have it myself, but it has been in my wishlist forever...

That's the technique I meant: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6U3IEUdddUY

They're beautiful!

To be completely honest, I have zero ambition to chase a deadline with that, or any, project. It's done, when it's done.

The yarn only has a small percentage of linen, and I found it fairly pleasant to hold - but obvs nothing like a nice soft merino. However, it splits somewhat easily.
All in all, I think it's worth giving it a chance, if you like summer knits.

This little lemming, with its scarf and its button nose, makes me smile every time a knitting post appears in my timeline. Thank you!

They are compatible, so you can always buy a couple :)
That is, if you live in one of the four countries they ship to. I don't, and although I'd love their lace set too, I don't want to ask my UK-based friend for a favour again.
