We have one in our office that we put on a shelf above eye height when we’re all working. It seems to be okay just kind of shining down on us. It’s usually on the whole day but we’re only in for a few hours at a time, we all have meetings and appointments with other people so pop in and out of the office.
Both comments are showing for me! Thanks for that, the cable jumper I’m doing right now is a merino/acrylic blend and it’s getting very heavy and thick so I’m getting a bit anxious about how wearable it’ll be. I guess it’s all learning.
I hope you get many wonderful wears from your jumper and have a lovely Christmas
This looks great! I’ve been tempted with chunky yarns for a jumper, however the next one in my queue is fingering weight so I’ll have to wait a bit.
Is the acrylic comfy to wear? Or does it get too hot?
Mind the cows in the nebula Richard… I mean number 1
I did try to learn from my grandmother when I was a kid but it didn’t stick. I don’t think I had the manual dexterity, when I looked it up on YouTube as an adult I didn’t have too much trouble with it.
I had forgotten learning from my grandmother but I found some of my old notes and things at her house the other week that been stored away for the last 30 years or so.
Now I learn from YouTube and certain books. How to knit socks that fit, jumper knitting handbook type stuff and the Japanese knitting stitch Bible.
I started with crochet and moved onto knitting. Now I much prefer it and how versatile it is
I…
There’s…
It’s…
Speechless. Just speechless
I mean it does still jump out sometimes, depends how hard I pull!
Just measured it and it’s 7 inches across/diameter so fairly large yes
Oh my god it’s true!
I’ve not rewound this yarn, I’m just taking the label off and getting the end. I use the bowl to have something to put the yarn in basically and because I think it looks nice. I’m terrible for buying hobby bits because they look nice, I have so many pins and stitch markers and things.
Like another person said though, if it was one of the fancy yarns that comes in a hank (I think they’re called) I’d need to wind it first so it was a ball before being able to use it.
Thank you! Yes it’s quite fun being all casual about doing something that looks complicated. I am pleased I can cable without a needle though and don’t think this would be possible without that technique!
Thank you, that’s really kind. It is a lot of cables lol and I was worried about handling it. To be honest though once you do a few repeats it’s fairly easy to keep track of what’s going on
Thank you very much! I practiced a fair bit before trying this pattern. You should give it a go!
Thank you! Hopefully I can do it justice when it’s finished

By Dr. Bashir! Amazing!
That looks hilarious, defintely going to check it out!
I was always partial to Tucker and Dale vs Evil for horror comedy
No, this sounds like a great idea and something I’d like to see as well.
Thanks for putting a tag on, I get they’re not required so it’s kind of you. Hope I didn’t come across as rude!
This looks like it’s from a new episode of Lower Decks. It might be nice to put a spoiler tag on it even though it didn’t spoil much 👍
Thanks for sharing this, I didn’t know about some of these and always fun to learn more.
I’ve tried Portuguese, continental and English but stayed with continental. Getting purls down with even tension and not hurting my wrist took some time but got there in the end
