I’d like to knit a sock monkey, but I need yarn to match the coloring (Heather borwn/white)
Does it matter what size you use? I want to make the 1 hour scarf pattern on the back. It says use 4 strands of yarn together as if they were one but it doesn’t say what size. At first I started grabbing bulky yard in the store. But I started to think 4 stands of bulky would be too big so I put them back & got worsted weight. Now I’m worried worsted might not be big enough. I just don’t want it to look too lacy.
I’m starting a knitting club at my school, and I want to be able to provide knitting needles and yarn for everyone in that club. I am assuming plastic needles are the cheapest. So can you please help me in finding where to get cheap needles and yarn if not online then a local store found everywhere in the US? Thanks for your help(:
I am a beginner knitter. I’ve made a couple hats out of regular Red Heart yarn. What is a good yarn to make a nice hat that is warm?
Watching the 2010 Olympic games and saw the cool hat Bodie Miller and several other members of the US Olympic team were wearing. It’s a blue and white stocking cap with a team USA logo on the front. Considered buying it, but then I thought to myself I can MAKE one of those — I just need to find a blue and white variegated yarn similar to the color in the hat. Any yarn suggestions? I’m looking at a DK or Worsted Weight.
We made them in spanish class so they’re obviously hispanic. There’s little ones and big ones. We did ours with popsicle sticks and you kind of wrap the yarn around the sticks in a certain way so that it makes a pretty design
Pictures of them would be nice. and i want the spanish name for them but either language will be fine.
After using part of a skein of yarn, is there anyway of telling about how many ounces are still left in the skein?
I’ve made my first row of cast on stitches. I’m confused as to what side of the needle the extra yarn (the one NOT connected to the yarn ball) should be on.
Right now, I am holding the needle in my left hand and the extra piece of yarn ends on the pointed tip (right part of needle)
I am learning to knit the continental way.
Thanks!
I’ve been knitting on circular needles for a few years, mainly store-bought ones, but I recently brought back my grandmother’s old equipment, including a couple dozen circulars.
The problem with them is the fact that the cables are very stiff, and curled in eclectic ways, making knitting on them an absolute nightmare.
Is there any way I can neaten them up, straighten out the curls? I’ve tried soaking them in warm water already, didn’t do much of a difference, sadly.
I have really pretty sparkly mohair yarn that I want to make something awesome with. I want to make something unique. NOT a scarf!!!! I don’t know how to use dpns. I can knit straight and sew though and I do have a pair of size I think 8 or 9 circulars that I’m really new to. Any ideas? I love finding those unique knitted things but most of the time they’re too complicated. I just want to make something special with this yarn. Any ideas?
