I salute you BGWalker!
And thank you.

Lucky grandchild!

Knitting is ideal for waiting in healthcare facilities ... you can watch what's happening, not get too bored, and you've got something to show for your time!

Sydney weather - mostly

👌🏽

This sounds like a GREAT plan. Go go you good thing!

It's true!!
🧶🧦🌟💕

Amazing 🧶 work - stunning.
But too too many stitches in a row 🤦🏽at the end.

It's beautiful - the peaks and troughs of cable 👌🏽

All the relative dimensions are wrong eg the swatch compared to the ball.
Once upon a time G..gle did have humans designing these "specials" - they were rare and designers felt privileged to be asked.

Another stochastic parrot🦜: linking needles and knitted swatch because they use 🧶 but not understanding the🧵 that joins them.
Stochastic 🦜 - a term introduced by @emilymbender.bsky.social and team where "LLMs ... linking words and sentences together without considering meaning" (Wikipedia)

Not had a lot of luck working with computer generated conversions. It can't take into account things like ease or more absolute things like cuff length. Anything that requires judgement+skill - that requires humans. But - great for building things like language vocab and verb drills.

Absolutely phenomenal 🧦🧦🧦🧦socks @melissaschuh.bsky.social Stunning work!

That's my question: who is this aimed at? Knitting 🧦 and crochet 🧶 folk hate it - so who's meant to be looking and thinking "yep - I'll definitely buy from this producer"?

Pls add Alt-txt

Yep - do it! There's lots of advice and tutorials online - and beginner kits so you don't even have to work out what you need to start!

‘This is how big my dog whistle is’

Good plan!
Enjoy

It IS a win.
My mother taught me to cast on, so I kept casting on and on and on and on ... and then realised there was more to it! 🤣 I was about 7!

This one's for you, @whiteswinous.bsky.social

Excellent work!!!

Lots of tutorials online. Find what suits you.
Start small and simple
Lots of beginner kits around as well - so you don't need to figure out what you need straight away.
Continental or not ... you'll get faster soon enough.
Enjoy.
