I can’t tell you how much I agree with you!
Just as when I’m buying books, I’ve started only buying from creators and authors I already know and have bought from before.
And if I’m interested in someone new, I make sure to read all the reviews before buying.
I refuse to support any AI slop!

So cute 😍

You’re a better and more patient person than me 😁👏🏻 I just want them to go away…

1000% agree! That many hours of work are only for my mum, SIL or nephew and niece.
Anyone else who asks, no. Just no.
If asked, I usually ask what they’ll pay an hour and they say a (fairly) reasonable wage, only then do I tell them how many hours a sweater takes 😈 Suddenly they’re not interested 😆

I love when someone asks me to knit for them, it’s the best feeling 😍 🧶 I’m working on my SIL’s Christmas gift sweater, colour decided by her, and next project - maybe in time for Christmas too 🤞🏻😬 - is a cardigan my mum have asked for.

Your daughter has good taste, this one is going to be lovely! 👏🏻

It's beautiful! I love the colour 😍 The Anker Tee is on my to-knit list too 😁

Does it count if I've seen one here in Copenhagen? 😁

I agree so much about the skeins, but I find that all the best yarn comes in skeins 🙄🧶

Try searching yarn winder. That should work, but know you also need a yarn swift to hold the skein while the winder rolls. But both are worth every penny! 😁🥳

Oh, it so is 😀 I have a huge yarn stash, but it's all already in balls, and now I'm itching to buy new yarn in skeins simply to be able to use my new toy 😁

I do hope so! It's Manos del Uruguay Silk Blend, a wool and silk mix, and it's by far the most luxurious (and expensive!) yarn I've ever worked with 🫣
So yeah, I'm going to take my time and do this right. I want this cardigan to be a success 🤞😁

It is, much prettier than the traditional bind off and super stretchy, which I like a lot 😁
Once you get into the rhythm of the stitches it’s not so bad, but you definitely need more patience 😄

Promise yourself a treat when you're done! Piece of chocolate, glass of wine, or permission to buy more yarn 😆
Just make sure it's right there in front of you on the table or screen so you're constantly reminded.

You can do it! 👍🤩
