Agghhh, this is too true at the moment.😩 It's great that I have so much work in, but my hands are missing my hooks and needles so much!

These are shots from Darn, Men with Yarn! zoom in all the clothes and accessories are knit or crochet items. It’s pretty cool.

This is very handy. I usually remember to measure a head and take off two inches for the hat size but it's easy to forget.

I’ll die before I make a gauge

club?

I even told myself I’d make one before this sweater.

[dojjegemmagrottebyte]

Anything where I'm worried I'll run out of yarn or care about how it fits then I'll check my gauge, but I mostly make hats, scarfs and random plushies sooo....🤷

What are the rules when it comes to selling your knitted/crochet items?

I mean...I mainly use patterns that I find to make things. I love finding patterns as they teach me so many new techniques but what are the rules with selling your wares when using someone else's pattern?

I'd love to start designing my own things one day but I'm not quite there yet. (Unless you count repurposing parts of several patterns in to a design that you prefer). I feel like I have a lot more to learn yet and there are so many beautiful patterns already out there to try.

I thought learning to crochet would be easier than learning knitting. I forgot that bc the stitches arent live on the needle I have to figure out where the loops go myself and unfortunately I am a dumb bastard

[dojjegemmagrottebyte]

😂 Yup! So tough to learn to crochet when you're used to knitting.

[dojjegemmagrottebyte]

Woo! My first ever granny squares are finished and I'm pretty proud of them seeing as I've been a knitter for 6 years and only learnt to crochet a few months ago. They're made from a beautiful cotton yarn from my lys. I've made 10 and I did that annoying bit where I have to weave all of the ends in, now I just need to sew them together into a top a la https://www.alloplum.com/blog/2019/5/18/crochet-festival-top

I'm nervous about that bit for some reason though. Not sure whether to spray block them first or just go for it and start stitching. 🤔
