are you seeing my split stripe vision??

I adapted the sand and sky tank pattern for my knitting machine. one panel left, cuffs/collar, then finishing. though I'm doing a bit of the finishing now, like sewing the panels together.

I love colorblocking and I love stripes and I love love love how this is turning out!

secrets time: so the three panels I made. I realized that it was kind of big ESPECIALLY the arms eye. I counted my row gauge wrong and accidentally made it basically a large size instead of a medium at that point. I Could've done like longer cuffs round the sleeves after unraveling the tank straps a bit. but that wasn't good enough for me

i did shorten the straps, she's gonna look more like a crewneck which im cool with. but instead of stopping there I sliced her up, took about 12 rows out, and grafted the 39 stitches back together, on each panel. I was so scared when I cut even with lifelines in but it was alright!

my first attempt made twisted stitches on the top row. i might go back to fix that but Honestly it's on the back and would be covered by my hair most of the time. just one twisted row. if it bothers me later I now have the confidence to go back and slice and dice and fix it! but for now I'm alright.

oops.

The internet: You must never machine wash your knits. Never. Ever. They will be destroyed the moment they are touched by the caress of a machine's heated water supply. Hand wash only, or You Shall Be Sorry.

Me:

That photo contains ~13 pairs of 70/30 wool/nylon socks, a 100% wool shawl, an acrylic shawl, an acrylic kid's jumper, an acrylic beanie, a vest knit of "handwash only" wool, and a few other things I've forgotten.

This is one of the reasons to swatch, people. Knit a swatch. A big one. Even better, knit a hat out of the thing you want to use. Chuck it in the wash. See how it comes out. Make decisions from there.

I've knitted somewhere above 50 non-sock things in the decade or so since my first kid came along. I have machine washed them all. Only two - TWO - things have gotten eaten by the wash in that time. (a purple toddler dress and half a sock). And both of those were accidentally put through with the regular clothes wash.

Obligatory caveats: Probably don't do this if your machine doesn't have a gentle/delicate setting. I made sure mine came with a wool cycle when I had to buy a new one. It takes 38 minutes, spins at 800 RPM, and refuses to go hotter than 30ºC.

Also if you tend to use loosely spun yarns or very large gauges (both seem to be popular nowadays), or like to knit Extremely Delicate Lace, use caution. (My knitting preferences are basically the opposite of those things - I like things that last.)

I got a soviet knitting machine for free, so excited to try and figure it out. 1975 severyanka-1 in its original wooden case, almost my whole height, perfect condition but misses the manual. Did i say she was absolutely free? She was. I paid in my both arms function, i think i busted something dragging it home. So fucking heavy that thing is built to outlast your whole family i swear
