I really didn&#39;t like the one from last year, even once it was finished, so I&#39;m swithering. I may wait to see what it looks like first. Also, I&#39;ll be travelling for most of November, so definitely won&#39;t be able to keep up with clues. 2023-09-03T06:53:54Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsxd68t5zhq50qax8u7d8xspfrhqphxpvg9jan0azxhehnxg3d3czqzypd679yeel4cdcgcy3nd6ukukaymtf7ah3da5aw5ysre3tl3we3c2ahfmc0 A question for the #knitting hive mind.<br/><br/>A garment knitted in garter stitch that needs sewing up on the sides - would you block before stitching up the sides or after? I don&#39;t think I&#39;ve ever knitted a completely garter stitch sweater before and I&#39;m doubting my plan to sew up first and then block. Would it not be easier to block THEN stitch so your seaming stitches aren&#39;t too tight? 2023-08-22T19:09:19Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsr8yj5nntck8m82ddz2ecy6d3v6wnac4477zymn3s4ylzg3qhalsszypd679yeel4cdcgcy3nd6ukukaymtf7ah3da5aw5ysre3tl3we3c243gygc In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsxwnnqh5gwgdvars5c8f0epnpkhgujnfpl24ptp4h8fjm5dnt9g5qpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumt0wd68ytnsw43qthyndt'>nevent1q…yndt</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/><span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub12catskxk098euxf7qjzpps00texnah7gaqr0e9egv8edtaanvp6qj5q8m2" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>npub12catskxk098euxf7qjzpps00texnah7gaqr0e9egv8edtaanvp6qj5q8m2</span> (<span class="italic">npub12ca…q8m2</span>)</a></span> Yes, our willow has SHOT up 2023-08-17T09:32:55Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs2mcflgk36xcla77rapgjes3k89hlhhgw9ewatavx8wcs8dhes0aszypd679yeel4cdcgcy3nd6ukukaymtf7ah3da5aw5ysre3tl3we3c24ahyl7 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqstqha8p202t9phlrmd78tp7qg2ghjt5jq7ts4utet5zh5cyjq4wggpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumt0wd68ytnsw43q3lex4a'>nevent1q…ex4a</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/><span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub12catskxk098euxf7qjzpps00texnah7gaqr0e9egv8edtaanvp6qj5q8m2" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>npub12catskxk098euxf7qjzpps00texnah7gaqr0e9egv8edtaanvp6qj5q8m2</span> (<span class="italic">npub12ca…q8m2</span>)</a></span> They seem to have ripened early this year.
