@jkirkendall @knitting Feeling pretty left out and somewhat peer pressured by everyone learning this lately, but sometimes peer pressure is a good thing 😁

Congrats!

@LemmyFeed @CrimeDad oddlysatisfying material right there, great work OP!

@bitflipped Definitely with you there! In this case the app in question actually has a pretty good export / backup process but I just got complacent and didn’t use it enough. Worked out ok in the end but it very nearly didn’t and my lesson is learned! 😬

@NickwithaC Sold!

@MrJameGumb Sounds like something a super cool YouTuber might already have given up on, more like 😛

@Jornia @Drachin @lemmy_stitch Will let you know how long this takes and if it was worth it in the end 😅

@Jornia @Drachin @lemmy_stitch Sadly mine has so much backstitch everywhere PK can’t really make sense of it. But you know what, I’m in the groove, I’ll just keep going.

For science! 😆

@Jornia @Drachin @lemmy_stitch Thank you! Mine is significantly smaller, but still big enough to be a pain in paper form, so sounds like I was on the right track all along.

*rolls up sleeves*

@ubermeisters Ah right, I was thinking maybe you meant people scan in the paper version, project it onto the fabric and sketch it out or something! Other way round makes a lot more sense 😁

@ubermeisters May have to look into this at some point if I ever stitch any more of their paper-only patterns!

@aubrianne @discworld I suppose it would be a bit…Diamanda. Nobody wants to be a Diamanda.

@aubrianne @discworld No fair you started a day early!

@joeo10 @lemmy_stitch Thank you!

@Timecircleline Oh that is cool! I’ve actually never tried double knitting so can’t advise there, but all I’ll say is a month ago you probably didn’t think socks would be so easy either…

@ShinyBlueThing @discworld This is the greatest thing

@bitflipped @discworld That sounds like making stuff to me!

@just_chill @discworld Perfect, thank you!

@annascrafts @discworld Reading your first DW book should totally count for the makealong somehow.

You’d be making…um…treasured literary memories? 😅

@discworld My personal plan is a pair of Eskarina Socks (https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/eskarina-socks) and a cross stitched Errol (https://www.ebay.com/itm/122196806696)

But am admittedly rethinking my self-imposed “no shawls” rule due to this https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/lady-margolatta 🤔

@weirdsquid Pretty sure if you can’t see it that means it was a success, so thanks! 😆
