I recently found out that a bunch of patterns I bought on Rav have just gone:the designer took my money and just changed her mind. 100% save and download things from now on

This is what I would suggest, putting a marker every 10 rows for example, so you know the first sock is the right length if they're for someone else, or to make sure they both match. Same with sleeves.

Trying to knit some ugly socks but I kind of love how they're coming out... 🧢❀️

That just takes you to your notifications feed? I want to stop it from sending me a notification on my luck screen every time anyone says anything

Can anyone tell me how to stop push notifications?

I think something weird happened with the algorithm, because all of a sudden all these weird and wonderful patterns appeared on the 'hot right now' πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Suddenly a few weeks back it seemed that this pattern got really popular on Ravelry, there were so many (intentionally) hideous versions it was wonderful, i would recommend going and having a browse

For #showmeyourknits i had quite a choice, I've knit a fair few shawls, but I thought I'd go back to an oldie. This is the doodler by Stephen West. The gauge is too tight so it came out far too small, but I've been considering re-knitting it recently. www.ravelry.com/projects/kat...

Thanks! It's super lovely, as you say it's good to support designers

Thanks for sharing. The pattern seems quite expensive - obviously your finished item is beautiful but was the pattern itself worth the price tag?

It doesn't look comfortable but it's how she likes to nap. Eggy Mitchell is one of a kind #birdsky #backyardchickens

Really enjoying the number of users I'm finding with fibre and chickens and no fundamentalist undertones (fundertones) 🧢

As far as I can tell the alt text works and you can see it as long as you click on the photo, so you'd have to interrupt scrolling to check it but that actually might be a nice way of laying it out

Maybe using a sub-tweet to add pattern info below as well as using the alt text?

Was there any context? Was he just showing off?

Isn't it adorable? It was a Christmas gift so I don't know where it was from unfortunately

Am i too late to jump on the quilted vest trend?! I've been sitting on these liberty offcuts for years, knowing exactly what I want to use them for but lacking the energy to get going... But now we're off and I love how it's looking ❀️🧢πŸͺ‘🧡❀️
