What do you guys think of the slip stitch edging? I'm torn. The reason for doing it is to neaten up the side where i carried my yarn. Only thing is, it makes the edge quite thick. I did it double stranded because single was way too sparce. Comments please. Also might have to block... all my borders are wanting to roll a little. Our maybe just light steam the borders a little, don't want to smash the puffy.

What is a good way to put a name or initials on a knitted blanket? I'm knitting a lap blanket for my 98 year old mother who has dementia and lives in a care home. She will love to receive it but will immediately forget that it is hers.

Started knitting for the first time ever 1 week ago, I jumped straight in and decided to make a simple garter stitch scarf. I'm quite pleased with it and I feel pretty confident that with time I could get quite good at this knitting lark.
Today, I tried to k1 p1 a small patch just to practice and I just can't get it right.
Can anyone tell me, if I cast on an even amount of stitches, then k1 p1, should I be starting my next row with knit or purl? I'm so confused!

I am an utter beginner; I've been knitting for about 3 days, and have no assistance except YouTube. I keep having a problem where at the end of my row, I have an extra loop/stitch on my needle. Supposed to be 33 stitches, but at the end of the row I have 34. I can't figure out why this is happening. Is it fixable? How can I make the extra loop go away?? Please, yarn goddesses, help me get better at this haha

I'm seeing so many posts advising DO NOT knot your yarn, ever. When I join a new skein, I knot the two ends together, leave two long tails, and then weave the tails in. I have things I made a decade ago that are still intact. Now I'm second-guessing myself. Maybe I should skip the knot, but that seems so likely to slip apart, especially in worsted weight and up. Will have to think on that.

For those in the US, any thoughts about using acrylic yarns from Hobby Lobby or Michael’s? Looking for acrylic for charity knitting projects. Not sure of the quality of these yarns.

Does this look correct? I’ve already undone and re started twice as it doesn’t seem right to me. I can see that typical ‘knit stitch’ that almost looks like a plait. Although saying that I’ve watched so many videos and cannot see where I am going wrong… also the ends of my work does that look okay? I am knitting completely off one needle on to the other switching hand and doing the same onto the empty needle. No extra stitch at the end or anything like that… is that correct?

Im so proud of myself💗 First time I've made a blanket! Those who helped me on this page may remember I had added the wrong wool and had to undo some of it and match the wool correctly. Thanks so much to this group💗💗💗💗
