First lemmy knitting post from ex redditor!
Hi all! Here’s a quick knit I made from a chart from the New Knit Stitch Library by Leslie Stanfield. This will eventually be made into a bag! Wanted to make my first knitting community contribution since making the move to lemmy!
Woohoo, welcome!
Ah it's pretty! And that yarn is to die for. Would make a lovely bag for sure. I've been eyeing up methods for lining crochet bags to keep them from stretching out but not sure how it works with knitting since it's generally a less sturdy fabric to start off with, just another research rabbithole for when I have time (so like, never, but a girl can dream). You said it with such confidence though imma assume you're an expert and will be able to give us lots of tips on how you did it :D
p.s if you're into any other crafts too I've got a big list of 'em over here https://lemmy.world/post/418525, been trying to help our people navigate around a bit and find cool things.
Thank you! It’s Cascade 220 in color 1040. I was worried about the same thing with the fabric stretching, I’m thinking I’m going to try to lightly felt it once I have it all put together and hope that prevents too much stretch! Fingers crossed it works and doesn’t ruin the stitch definition too much!!
Might have known, I have a thing for Cascade yarns myself 😄
I'll definitely be awaiting updates on this one!
Just beautiful! Thanks for sharing
that looks cool! welcome to the fediverse!
I've never knitted but this is beautiful! How long does this typically take to produce?
Ooh, I love the texture. The color makes me think of the 70s, in a good way.
Very nice, and welcome aboard!
This is gorgeous!
That looks wonderful, thank you for sharing!
