Highly inappropriate comment in a knitting post, you mongoloid.

[-] InfiniteVariables@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago

Way to tell them they're being inappropriate... With a racial slur. Smh

[-] CarbonatedPastaSauce@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Thanks for letting me know. I thought it was equivalent to “Neanderthal” but just looked it up. I won’t use it again.

[-] InfiniteVariables@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

Hell yeah. If it makes you feel better your not the only one to have incorrectly thought that.

And I was about to comment I felt relieved to no langer have horny redditors around lmao

[-] positiveWHAT@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Some of us are horny, but don't write unnecessary horny comments.

[-] impulse@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Stay on Reddit you perv.

[-] N1cknamed@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

So disheartening that even on a smaller community with a supposedly mature userbase there are still people that think it's normal to leave comments like this. The number of upvotes you received does not inspire confidence in the fediverse community to be any better than Reddit.

Nothing stops bad actors from joining a lemmy, his total votes is still negative which is a good tell it's not being tolerated.

It was amazing before I noticed the owls. The owls made it perfect. Pure art.

[-] teflocarbon@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

It took me awhile to see that they’re owls, but damn I’d kill for that during winter right now.

[-] Munkiesox@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

Oh, I love this so much! You've done a great job. Also, thank you for sharing the pattern. Once I've had enough of sock knitting I want to make this!

[-] Unvaluablespace@vlemmy.net 3 points 2 years ago

Hi. I am not familiar with knitting at all. May I ask why you feel it's not perfect? Just trying to understand if it's a personal opinion or actual fault somewhere (that I don't see).

[-] sayabulegila@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I'm probably my own worst critic, but I guess some spots don't look as "polished" or "neat" to me as I'd like. Some of the ribbing on the neck collar looks a little uneven. It's just small things that are probably more noticeable to me than anyone else. Also, it was only the 2nd sweater I ever knit, so I'm self-conscious about how good my work looks to anyone else.

I'm probably my own worst critic

Said every creative ever.

[-] meekah@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I haven't zoomed in or anything but I couldn't notice anything wrong or particularly un-neat. It just looks handmade to me. Nice work!

[-] Flughoernchen@feddit.de 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Don't be so harsh on yourself, it's awesome! The imperfections are the perfect level that will make another knitter go "Oh wow that's selfmade. So cool!" while other people won't notice them at all. Really nice work!

[-] thegiddystitcher@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

There's always little things we notice in our own projects that are basically invisible to the non-knitter. It's our curse!

[-] Thade780@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Absolutely love this. The buttons at the top also make for a nice detailing contrast.

[-] lapidyll@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Congratulations on your project! I'm just starting my knitting journey as well, with a pullover as the end goal. How long was it before you felt comfortable tackling the project? The color is lovely! (Also, your hair is stunning, if you don't mind could you dm me your hair routine?!)

[-] spicy_biscuits@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

It looks great, and you look great in it! Nice work 👍

[-] Skooshjones@vlemmy.net 2 points 2 years ago

Awesome! The owl pattern around the top looks really cool.

[-] stevedidWHAT@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Fucking doooope! More crafts to Lemmy!!!! Hazaaah

[-] SpermKiller@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Love it! I saw the owls straight away!

[-] meiti@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

You had me to go back and find them, really nice!

[-] lotanis@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 years ago

That's so beautiful! Perfect yarn colour too.

[-] aeternum@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

considering she said it's her 2nd ever jumper, she did a really good job. I'm not even a knitter, but it looks really good!

[-] InLikeClint@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Wow, that looks really good. Great work.

[-] mordred@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I'd say perfect..

[-] CarbonatedPastaSauce@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I thought it was a Groot sweater until I read the pattern URL. Looks cool!

[-] gon@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

so cute!!!!

[-] marswarrior@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

That's impressive!

[-] Mywk@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

I love the pattern, amazing job!

[-] transientDCer@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Looks great! Really nice work.

[-] Yarla98@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

You are so very talented! Not sure if you're just making things like this for yourself or not, but I know several others that would love to own something like this!

[-] danielton@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Wow, I love this! It's so cute!

[-] thegiddystitcher@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Love this pattern! It's a classic for a reason!

It looks great on you, totally know what you mean about being your own worst critic but we really do see the flaws so much more in our own projects than anyone else will. Achievement unlocked! Now what's your next big goal? :D

[-] Cinner@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

As a casual observer I don't see any mistakes, just wows.

[-] Civil2022@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Super cute, love the detail around the neck!

[-] AnonArdvark@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Wow, amazing.

[-] BeautifulMind@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

"Not perfect?" Nonsense, it's quite perfect

[-] weepingSomnambulist@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

OOT but as an indonesian i chuckled when i saw your username, op

[-] Sidhean@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Oh, that is such a pretty sweater! Seeing it makes me want to get back into knitting. Thank you for sharing the pattern, too; it gives me something to work towards!

[-] chazzam@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

That does look fabulous! I saw you said this was the second sweater you made. Do you know off hand how many projects you made to get comfortable trying to make this one? Roughly how long it took you to get from starting? I've learned knitting a few times off and on, but never had a big project I actually wanted to do, and so always end up falling back out of it. This looks like something my wife would also love, but I'm not sure how long something like this would take or what I'd be getting myself into for something this large.

I always end up attracted to hats for myself, and then remember I can't really wear hats and give up before I even get started. My hair always either floats them off my head, or they make me overheat too easily. I had mostly figured I would just need to learn crotchet instead and then make some of those small plushie type things as desk decorations. I just have yet to make it as far as ever learning to crotchet.

[-] sayabulegila@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Before I started on this sweater, I'd knit about 10-15 projects beforehand including some hats, headbands, cowls, and one really simple (short-sleeved) sweater. It took me about 6 weeks from start to finish but I had a lot of time each day to work on it. I also actually had learned to crochet before knitting and had crocheted several things.

They're both great crafts and there are a lot of nice tops you can make with just crochet if that's the craft you'd feel more comfortable learning first! There are a lot of great resources for learning both. I actually learned crochet from a book, but couldn't really grasp knitting from books, but was able to from videos.
