Hello, I wanted opinion regarding superwashable yarn i have one that merino wool and nylon. I made socks but the heal tore and i used a small gauge but still tore. I was wondering what else can i make with this yarn considering i still have two balls left. I want something that wont result in tear like the socks. If anyone has any ideas, Thank you!!!
- also i have a 1.5 chiaogoo needle to work with.

Hey folks
I raise Icelandic sheep and just got my first clip back from the mill. I’m a vendor at the ren faire at Bacon’s Castle in November and am looking for ideas on what to knit with 5 100g skeins of white lambswool. I’ve got my other projects using my own yarn settled.
My ideas so far:
With this yarn my target audience is women who are at the faire to have a good time and buy a souvenir that they can wear and not feel like they are playing dress up.
I’m looking for a timeless design that is simple without color work or cables.
I’m making Skjoldehamn hoods and capelets so I’d like it to be adjacent to that idea.
Also - I’m going to make fingerless gloves knitted flat and seamed with the lambswool so maybe matching sets?
I’m a 50 yo dad who knits and my 17 yo daughter and my wife will be at the booth with me.
Also, I try to be polite and not give offense. I’m not very up to date on all recent internet etiquette so if I’ve said something offensive please let me know!
Thanks!
Hello knitters,
My son has fallen in love with Kaffe Fasset's sweater #22 Planets. It's in an out of print issue of Rowan Magazine: number 12, published in August of 1992. I would LOVE to get my hands on either the magazine or just a copy of that pattern. Can anyone help?
Has anyone had issues with Hobbii using their content for ads?
Hi everyone!
I’d really like to hear about your experiences working with Hobbii, especially as a crochet/knitting content creator.
Has anyone had their videos taken and used as advertisements on Instagram, Pinterest, or other platforms without specifically agreeing to it?
I’m currently dealing with a situation like this and would really appreciate hearing if anyone else has experienced something similar with Hobbii. I’d also love to know how you handled it, whether you contacted them, and if you have any advice or things I should be aware of.
I’m mainly looking for other people’s experiences and practical advice because I’d really like to understand how common this is and what options creators have in this situation.
Thanks so much in advance for sharing your experiences! 🤍
Made another scarf! This one is mainly just a garter stitch, but the cabling is the Fancy Celtic Cable from Studio Knit.
