#FallFinishAlong progress: finished the booties and socks, baby cardigan is waiting for the button to arrive, jumper is waiting for my mum to try it on and decide on sleeve/hem length (will block it beforehand), found a newborn hat that still needed blocking. Decided not to work on the ribbed hat because it doesn’t need finishAlong mojo. Picked up my huge striped #crochet #harbourBlanket instead. @knitting@a.gup.pe @knitting@lemmy.world #knitting

@thegiddystitcher yes and you can combine them if you want! You could do Tulipmania, Arabesk and Bass and go white-pink-black-white if you were so inclined. It’s marvellous.

@Timecircleline I’d recommend a hat. It’s quicker than a scarf and you learn lots more from it (eg: decreases).

Also, if you come from crochet, take a look at continental knitting! You tension the yarn in your left hand which is more crochet-like.

If a long tail cast on (probably what your mum was trying to teach you) was too much at once, try a knitted cast on: put a slip stitch on your left needle, knit it but don’t slide it off, put the new stitch next to it on your left needle, repeat.

@Knitwear they are somewhat standardised, but definitely not to a great degree, especially in the structuring of the pattern. I really recommend the Flax sweater in the tincanknits app as a first sweater.

@Treatyoself I’ve been known to pin shawls directly to the carpet. Coffee table to the side and go for it.

@alvvayson Het is gelukkig geen snelweg, het is een weg in Den Haag waar de snelweg op uitkomt. Daar mag je dus even goed demonstreren als op elke andere weg. Dat de burgemeester ervoor kiest geweld te gebruiken is niet de schuld van die ouders.

@thegiddystitcher I really like it! I made lots of blankets in its svelte DK sibling, great stuff.

@tierelantijntje klimaat, sociaal vangnet en Europese samenwerking vind ik heel belangrijk. Daarnaast wil ik graag een partij die reële kansen op kabinetsdeelname heeft. Vroeger altijd GL, nu dus GL-PvdA.
