Are my mistakes obvious?

was half asleep while doing the collar and for half of the collar, the stitches were aligned wrongly (about 8 stitches offset). same goes for the second picture. there was a stretch of stockinette that was messed up because i wasn’t paying attention and had knit into only one strand of my 3-ply yarn. i used duplicate stitch over it.

these mistakes are kinda glaringly obvious to me but i need a second opinion!

I absolutely adore summer knits — twist loop top by other loops

holding it in place because i’ve yet to block it😅 but i digress, summer tops are absolutely the best. they don’t eat up too much yarn and still have such a variety of designs. not to mention how fast they take to knit up!

Brown spots on leaf tips

i’m at a loss right now. the leaves are just dying back one by one with the browning beginning from the leaf tips. i bottom water when the pot gets light and the leaves turn slightly flaccid. it gets bright indirect light.

How do I stop them from violating each other’s personal space?

i can’t move them apart from each other because theyre firmly rooted in the moss pole

my one life-hack is to knit the gauge swatch using two needle sizes

one is over gauge and the other is under gauge? just use a needle size thats in between the two you’ve used! coming from someone who is lazy to make gauge swatches but begrudgingly starts one anyway

When variegated yarn does variegated yarn things 😭

made a self drafted top with a variegated cotton yarn and ended up with really weird striping at the waist due to an unfavourable stitch count. i was hoping that the striping would turn out more like what’s going on with the bust. any recommendations on what i should do with this? i’m thinking of dyeing the entire work purple but i need a second opinion

Any knitters?

wondering if there are any singaporean knitters around because many people i know will usually crochet. also, love making garments. though sweaters, scarves and hats are reserved for holidays because they’re too hot for me 😢 any suggestions for patterns?

White hair growing out from only one part of my head?

Does anyone know the potential causes of this? (It’s been there since I was 14) When I am in braids I look like Anna from Frozen lol

Your sign to install that mosspole!!

All the nodes started popping off. It’s been exactly one week and my monstera is already growing such robust primary roots

Is this an okay propagation medium?

Ran out of sphagnum moss and only had leca and orchid bark on hand. Mixed it in a 5050 ratio. Will this suffice for the time being? Also, I would be really grateful if someone could give watering tips as my philodendron roots!

New growth point?

I recently decapitated my philodendron birkin to propagate the upper leaves with nicer variegation. Noticed a white red bump growing at a node. Is this new growth?
