An update on my SSSS-quilt project.





Wow, this is awesome! Great work!

Those are awesome! I like how you've mixed and matched design elements. And the colours look great together! I've been thinking of doing a pair as well, and started playing with a chart, even. But I haven't got much further than that and now the knitted gloves season seems to be over. But I suppose there will be another winter, eventually!

If you'd like to test knit a pair after I get the pattern put together, let me know!

Also, I was thinking they could be done in different colors. Like if someone really liked a character from a specific country, it could be done in the colors of that country's flag.

Update!


Just need to pick up stitches and knit the thumb.

These are great! I can´t wait to see how they look when they are finished!

I´m finally able to show you an update on my fan-quilt-project, too. I´m ... well let´s say content with the result. There was a big flaw in my template which I recognized too late and I am not sure about the colouring... but I think he is recognizable at least. Everyone who can tell me the page from which I took the original picture gets a cookie :)





And now the really difficult part starts: fumbling all the paper out of the backside...

Okay, okay! *mockgrumpy, should have known better than to offer Minnions cookies...*
Here is a huge plate of cookies of the many sizes, shapes and flavours found in the endless warehouse of the commentary/forum. Let´s see: squirrel cookies - oh no, they are skittering away and one attempts to bite me, Dale, is that you?, Troll-house-cookies (don´t know which batch, may or may not contain actual troll), cupcake-cookies (VERY sweet), chess-playing cookie-dough (oh well, it rather wants to play than to be eaten) and original Hildegard von Bingen-nerve-calming-cookies (very original...*looks at the fossilized remnants of medieval cookie-baking*).
You´re welcome to choose any cookie you like!  ;D

If it's the first time you want to knit, a scarf is a good project :)

Scarves are nice. Yeah, it's probably what I'm gonna do.

Or, if you are not afraid to sew a bit to assemble them, the first project when I learned how to knit was very easy fingerless gloves.

I can sew. Now, I'm confused, it seemed to be tight on the first row then got looser with the next row, is that right? (I crochet and changing tightness is a little worrisome)

At the beginning, some people knit too very tight. Knitting with a regular tension may require a bit of exercise. Moreover, the first and last rows are particular, mine are always a bit more tight than all the others before fixing. Does all the next row got looser ?
