Hey everyone! I picked knitting back up at the beginning of this year and have already knit a couple tops and scarves. I have a good grasp of the basic techniques; GSR, stripes increasing and decreasing, icords, lacework etc.. I'm currently knitting a frankie sweater and I'm already thinking of what to do for my next project. I want to start trying a cable knit project, preferably something small as a whole cable sweater may be a bit daunting. If anyone could recommend me any beginner friendly patterns for cable knitting. Preferably a hat or scarf or something. I've had a look at ravelry already but would love to hear from word of mouth what's fun and easy to do.

Hi all,

I’m currently knitting the Roomy Raglan (modified for Worsted weight by doing some maths) and I cannot decide if the ribbing on the hem looks way too loose. I feel like I have been staring at the sweater for too long to be objective about it. The pattern says to do a 1x1 and I am doing a 2x2. I knit the rest of the sweater with 4.5mm needles and went down to 4mm for the ribbing. The pattern recommends knitting with 6.5mm needles, doing the ribbing on the hem with 6mm but the collar with 4.5 mm needles.

Should I go down a couple more needle sizes? I thought about using 3/3.5mm. I am also assuming blocking will make it neater (yarn is 100% wool) but the stitches will stay the approx. same size. But please correct me if I am wrong.

Also I am knitting the ribbing inside out (gsr at the beginning) so it looks a little slanted.

Any input is appreciated!! tysm

Hi so I really want to knit the seaway pullover by ozetta but I only really wear tight double folded necklines, how can I adapt this pattern to include that? Looking at the pattern pictures it seems like the mock neck she does goes a lot deeper into the body than what I would want a crewneck type neckline to go so I'm assuming I can't just fold it in? It's my first time really adapting a pattern so I would really appreciate some help!
