    Question regarding your sizing up to the 6th size to get the small size due to gauge. How do you figure out how much yarn you'll use? Same as the sixth size?

    • @work.knits.
      @work.knits. 6 месяцев назад

      It's a really good question! In theory it should be similar to the amount used for the 6th, but then I am using DK weight yarn which will have more meters per 50g so that will counter act it slightly

There’s currently also a pop-up with a Japanese lace weight cashmere on cones. Also a good selection of European brands. Lots of needles and other supplies, too. Don’t be fooled by the entrance, which looks like a beauty shop. The knitting supplies are on the 5th floor.

    Hi Lauren, when I’m really overwhelmed with my pattern choices and can’t decide what I actually want or need in my wardrobe next I look at what weight and needle sizes my current wip’s are instead. So if I’ve got DK’s and worsted on the go I’ll look at my lightweight, small needle options just to keep some variety and try to avoid repetitive hand strains. I’ve also found that the projects I’m happy to gauge swatch for are generally the ones I should do next, I definitely lean towards picking the yarn I want to work with as well. The other thing I consider outside of Xmas gift season is to have one large, (sweater etc) one medium, (shawl or tee) and one or two small projects (socks, mitts or baby clothes etc). I’m knitting a sweater for my husband at the moment and I’d class it as a large blanket type project 😅 urrggghh it’s no fun at all but that’s what the side hustle small projects are for, to keep me going. I always think ultimately you should go with your heart and cast on what you really fancy knitting not what you think you should be knitting 😊

    I think navy on the hem would make it more balanced maybe

    So good to see you, Lauren. What a great start to the weekend watching an update from you. As always beautiful things on the needles. I love the sweater you are wearing. Really like the sleeves! I am very much in the spring mindset at the moment so I would cast on the rock it tee or the Faye. Looking forward to see what you choose to cast on. Hope you have a wonderful weekend!!
