A question for #knitters. Do you prefer magic loop over dpns and if so how hard was it to learn? Would you recommend it to someone with occasional brain fog? Yes, indeed I do suffer from second sock syndrome. #knitting #knitter #fibreart

Today's "Don't Mess With #Knitters " news. A New Zealand bar had to apologize to The Knit Nook for telling the #knitting group they weren't welcome because “knitting is not the vibe we are going for”.

My favorite line: The knitters responded to the original slight by saying "Knitters are magical and they can’t handle our awesomeness”.

My thought: Why would you want to antagonize people that you know wield sharp needles?

Early morning query for #knitters.

Can one start a project (such as a fair isle sweater) by hand but then transfer to machine knitting for the remainder? (Forex, knitting the stranded yoke by hand but then doing the single yarn body by machine).

#knitters #crochet how cool is that piece/shrug that lawyer Amy Lee Copeland is wearing on #Lawrence on @MSNBC ? I’d love to make one!

Hello, #knitters in Europe, do you buy #yarn from biscotte yarns? Where from? I receive the newsletter, and though there are amazing yarn dyers more locally, I'd like to have the possibility to buy from them

#knitting in the train. I started to work again on the #StipluShawl. I was a bit disappointed because it was rolling (see my previous post for the rolling), so I decided to add seed stitch rows, but I have 550+ stitches. I don't know how many I will need to prevent rolling. If I stop at next repeat, it will be 4 rows, and the rolling was quite severe. But if I do 8, I'm afraid the scarf will be wider than I want, and also I don't want to unravel. #knitters , @knitting, what do you think?

Fellow knitters: I think I want to finally get one of those "around the neck" knitting lights. Any recommendations for a specific light or a business I should support in purchasing it?

@eli Ah, what would #knitters do without the handy crochet hook? Probaby cry.
Congratulations😊

I progressed quite a bit on my #StipluShawl (it's a kind of scarf knit in stockinette stitch from the middle. Here I thread waste yarn in the live stitches to see the full size compared to other scarves. Unfortunately (but no surprise), it curls a lot ☹️ I'm not confident blocking will fix it and may add 1 or 2 repeats in seed stitch, it will take so much time and considerably modify the look. #knitters , @knitting, any opinion, tips ?

Since my birthday in April my OH and I have been looking to buy a knitted jacket for me for work. Three months later we have no luck. I am not an experienced knitter, but have done a cardigan before. Would more experienced #knitters think a jacket style #knit is too advanced for a beginner to try? (I was thinking of buying nice yarn so it would definitely be an investment.) any hints or tips? @knitting? https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/ripplejacket/slideshow?fullscreen=1&start=102783026

Hey #knitters !
I stumbled upon a website listing #yarn substitutes for discontinued yarn balls : https://yarnsub.com/
It compares gauge, fiber content,...
May be useful! Also for #Crocheters

#knitters what are some good hand stretches that you do to loosen up the muscles?

Één patroon, twee verschillende soorten garen (kidsilk haze en felted tweed; allebei van Rowan). Wat zal ik doen? Welke is mooier? Iemand een mening? #knitters #breien #knitting @knitting

#knittersofmastodon #CrochetersOfMastodon please help!

1. What’s your go-to teacher appreciation gift for a male teacher? What about a transitioning (f->m) teacher? (Separate teachers - I need ideas for both. I’ll also happily accept ideas for female teachers since one can never have too many plans!) I have until mid June, so I’ve left things late and have 9 to make.

2. #knitters how long should it take me to knit a sock? I’m still in the months. Do I need bigger needles?

Thanks!!

When my sister came to pick up GuestDog Stanley, our sister-in-law came along, too, so she was able to take this made-to-order jumbo knit blanket home to my teenage niece. I’m told my niece grinned and squeezed the blanket, which is basically a giant marshmallow. #knitting #knitters #WritersWhoKnit #jumboknit #jumboyarn #chenilleyarn #yarn #handmade

Okay, fellow (sock) #knittersofmastodon I'm actually curious - do you knit socks cuff down or toe up?

I'm on team toe up, it's the only way I knit socks. #knitting #knitters

#knitters give me your favorite shawl patterns that don’t look like old lady shawls!

#knitters! Knitters! I might make this because I remember it being fun to make.

Should I make in a bright color or pattern to wear with black or in off white to wear with lots of things? #knitting #knittersofmastodon
