#knitting hack

[krakengoddess]

Knitting hack: when I only have to do a set of instructions every other round, I get out a spare stitch marker. During the “active” round it sits in front of me on the table, reminding me to do the increases. When I hit the end of the round, I slip it on the needle. No stitch marker friend? No increases. And when I get back to it, I slip it off again.

Storing intarsia wip

Picture of a two color intarsia work consisting of five balls of yarn. The balls of yarn used for the edge stripes are skewered on the same knitting needle that holds the work itself. The three balls in the middle are wound tight and skewered with the other needle. The work itself is rolled up and fastened with a safety pin.

How am I, just now, learning that silicone beads can be used as knitting needle stoppers!?

I am gonna buy so many silicone beads and use my DPNs for EVERYTHING

techniques i use in c2c crochet (and all other applicable crochet scenarios, really) people might find useful i can post tutorials on as i go

butterfly bobbins - you do not need cardboard or plastic bobbin winders to make bobbins you can just wind yarn in such a way it forms a bobbin by itself for $0 (and with 0 tiny fiddly things you will inevitably lose somewhere)

magic knot - join yarn to keep working in such a way that a) will not come undone and b) does not require any weaving of ends

there is no shorthand official name (as far as i know) but "joining a new colour in a way that does not leave an end you have to weave in later". call it lazy join or something idk

obviously you can just. look up how to do those (except the last one bc i don't know what - if anything - it's called or if it's just something i do because i will avoid weaving at all costs) but if anybody wants and would find it useful i can just take photos of the process next time i do it in this blanket and then post it like that one time i did "how to wind a centre-pull ball" or "doing surgery on a c2c blanket to replace a square"

#crochet #c2c #crochet hacks #i guess #i solemnly swear to not post a video #knitting #bc magic knot is also useful in knitting #butterfly bobbins as well although i'm not sure it would ever be necessary with the way colourwork in knitting tends to shake out

Lace knitting hack: Swatch all the charts in a bigger, sturdier yarn, rather than making 1000 mistakes with your expensive delicate laceweight.

This is cotton, fingering weight, and I'm going to take it apart eventually, but you could also make something small & useful. Dishcloth, doily, kerchief? It also doesn't have to be quite this big, I just happen to enjoy this sort of work.

It's not going to behave (or block) like wool, and of course you'll still need to do a gauge swatch in your real yarn, but I've found this really helpful for getting my mind around tricky charts, learning what it should look like, so I can spot errors, and seeing how everything will fit together in the final product.

I saw this hack on a tiktok but I want to share it here because I love this. (Excuse my messy cakes)

Take it on the go or just hang it up for ease of access! I noticed this works best with caked yarns. The girl in the tiktok used a knitting needle but I didn't have any so I used a backscracher

I’ve been slowly plugging away at knitting a vest for my sister and it’s finally starting to feel like A Real Garment albeit still very much in progress.

I adore the cables but cabling makes my hands so tired so quickly so this one is going veeeerrrrryyyy slowly. Especially since this is a really dense and wiry yarn. Which is honestly perfect for the pattern but oh, the hand cramps will get me!

I’m making the Outlandish Bodice pattern (it’s free on ravelry!) and using Briggs and Little Regal for the yarn.

My goal is to knit one cable repeat each day until I finish this section.

Supposedly, it will look like this when it’s done
