Wenn die Person nicht grad Socken strickt, würde ich mittlere nehmen, 4-6mm etwa.
Die unter dem Link sind gut für den kleinen Geldbeutel/zum Mixen. Außerdem gibt es auch tolle Pronomen-Pins.

Alter Schmuck eignet sich übrigens auch, braucht entweder nen Ring oder was zum Zumachen.

Ich hab mich am Anfang lang gegen Maschenmarkierer gesträubt und sie für unnützen Kram gehalten. Tatsächlich sind sie aber echt praktisch, wenn man Lust auf Strickabenteuer mit Lochmustern, Zöpfen oder Farbe hat. Und es gibt sie in allen Farben und Formen, find ich als Geschenk ziemlich schön.

Me too.

I didn't hear the doorbell on Sunday bc I was focused on some pimples XD poor delivery person 🙈

Oh, it's so great that it worked well for your friend <3
I think with the first few hats I just..forgot that I had hair to fit under it+ that it influenced the fit
Might've looked at it from a physics POV: hair=mostly air, can be compressed, problem solved
That I was surprised at my flattened hair?🤣

I first thought this was about horrible knitting accidents... 🤣

Manchmal merkt man anhand der Bildauswahl, dass da doch jemand n A... In der Hose hat. Und das ist ja bei der WELT erschienen

Huh
...perspective? 😅

Re huge hair: I've found berets with a deep crown very useful for getting my hair under control without crushing it.

@disturbingthefleece.com 's approach is leaving lots of space at the back of the head+a wide split brim

Yeah 😅

It has to be ^^

That's a lot!
Also, I hear they grow when you're not watching ;-)

silhouette, more fitted. If you need a larger size I know that Aimée will at least help w the mod if not grade it (idk their current policy, but they take great care w size inclusiveness and fit in larger sizes). I find both patterns very clearly written.

I'm currently knitting The Warbler Sweater www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib... which is drop shoulder, goes to 163cm chest and has good shaping at underarms. It's in Aran, but I'm knitting it on a 15st gauge.
Then there is the Weekday Sweater, a compound raglan, up to 150cm full chest. Less boxy

Ah, cool, thank you!
Yeah, I do the blueprint thing too, sometimes, mostly with charts :)

This is so fantastic and beautiful, I'm very much in awe <3

That's a good idea! I get confused by the purl bumps, so I do the opposite ^^

If I may ask, do you print out your patterns in larger text or use a screen reader or...?

He he, the "it's a totally normal development to want to knit more complicated things" bit sounds like taken from a leaflet on child development XD
The patterns shown look interesting, curious how the advent will look!

Ooh, I see!
I've seen advice somewhere that people are asking for muted colors that don't attract much attention, but I don't know where I saw that. And it's obv not true for everyone.
I think the pattern is fine, it's really more about the color combination.

That's really weird, isn't it? I feel that way about liquorice. I still like it, but I can now go months without it. (Though several other meds have also changed my taste at the same time)

I feel this sweater would look even greater in person, since I have the same advent calendar and know how multilayered the colors are ^^

And I am very sorry you all had to go through that hard time.
