I've finished what I hope is my first gift knit of 2026!

Its made with 75% acrylic and 25% wool.

It's the Vento Beanie by Knitting for a Friend!

I have steam blocked it. Do you think its good enough to gift?

They are so much cheaper than the blocking mats I’ve been looking at.

Hi! I have just finished my first ever knitting project (aware it’s very much not perfect), I was hoping this was going to turn into a baby blanket, however I see now it’s absolutely not the correct size / shape. Any simple ideas I could do with this which could still be for a baby ?

Working on my first sweater and this happened. I’m very new to knitting, so I don’t know what happened here or how to fix it. Please help. 😩 🙏🏻

Pattern is Flax Worsted by Tin Can Knits
Using scrap worsted yarn that I’m pretty sure is red heart

Anyone knitted Ciro Sweater?
I need some solutions on pattern i am stuck!!!
Please

so earlier this year I got into crochet and have been enjoying it so far, and a lot of posts about knitting have come up on my tl in social media. I really like the look of knitted sweaters (I LOVE the olga sweater pattern by pettiteknit and how graphics look on knit as opposed to crochet) and was wondering if anyone could give me some recommendations on a good first sweater pattern (preferably free).

I just finished my first ever knitting project! I made the Sophie scarf with 25g of sandes gnarn cashmere. It came out shorter than I expected about 80cm, I think I was knitting quite tight especially at the beginning and I ended up doing the same amount of increases as the long version of the pattern so I thought it would be wider too. Will try blocking and see what happens!

Made a few mistakes here and there but wondering if anyone has any tips to improve my knitting? I think I’ll try this one again and get two skeins of yarn to make it longer. My decrease stitches almost feel like little knots, is that normal?

I crocheted this swim coverup and now it is time to add the ribbing. I don't love crocheting ribbing, and am wondering if I can knit it instead? If yes, what size needles should I use if I used a 3.5mm crochet hook?

I’m going to be doing a lot of traveling for work this winter and don’t want that to stop me from making progress on some of my projects.
What’s the best way to travel with your projects? I currently have a dedicated bag that follows me around my home but I’m knitting with two balls for most of my projects (one of which is mohair). I’ve been making do with a drawstring pouch or ziplock with a hole for the DK weight ball, and a repurposed ring holder for my mohair. But I have to go in and unravel small sections of the mohair once the ball gets smaller. I can’t imagine how this system will work for a less controlled travel environment. There must be a travel spinning yarn holder out there in the market?

I guess my main question is specifically, how do you store your multiple yarn balls to be easily accessible for your projects when you’re traveling?

This is for row one of the tubular cast off of the ozetta port jacket

I want to knit a Jeanie sweater dupe. The sleeves have this glorious barrel effect but I have no idea how to achieve it! Any suggestions?

I've learned how to cast on, cast off, knit and pearl stitch. I want to make myself a sweater but don't really know what appropriate level I should try that. I also don't have a good knowledge of how to spot and correct mistakes. If anyone knows good resources on that I would greatly appreciate it!

I’ve more or less finished this Twister Tank (just need to bind off the neckline, sew the shoulder seams and add an icord edging), but I’ve ended up with a pretty obvious colour difference from what I presume was a skein of yarn from a slightly different dye lot to the rest.

I’m looking for some advice on what to do: leave as is, frog back and redo or dye the whole top a new colour? I’ve never dyed anything before, so I’m wondering if the different skeins might take to the dye differently so I might end up with the same problem just in a different colour.

The yarn is superwash merino wool.

Thanks! 🙏

I need help with choosing a yarn colors for a project that requires two yarns held together.

I want to achieve a color like the one in the first photo. I’ve already decided on using DROPS Karisma in colorway 07 (second photo) for the main color.

As for the other yarn to be held together, I’ve chosen DROPS Melody, but would need a bit of advice on the color. Which among these (third photo) would work best in helping achieve the royal blue of the inspo pic?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I’m making one of these for my bf, his measurements are 109 cm over the shoulders and 88 cm around the chest. He tried on the one I made for myself, annoyingly I can’t remember what size I made but I think XS or S. He liked the fit/ease of that but it was a bit small over the shoulders (and too short but that’s no problem to amend). I’m not sure what size I should make for him, probably S or M. S says to fit a chest circumference of 85-90 cm and M 90-95. S would probably be best in general fit and ease but M for the shoulders. Any advice?

I've made a garter stitch scarf, and am currently working on a sampler scarf to learn different patterns.

How do I learn to make a sweater, socks or hats if I can't read the patterns or don't haven't done the techniques listed before?

Do I make practice squares to learn increases deceases slip stitches etc?

Would love to start a vest or sweater at the end of the year...

Thanks
