Does anyone have any tips for unraveling a cowl made of fingering weight cashmere/merino yarn? I made a very simple one, just to relax last year, and I want the yarn to knit something more complex. But when I've tried to frog even a row, it sticks and tangles. Thanks for any help!

Can anyone point me at some good resources for learning how short rows work? Like how their placement affects the shaping of the fabric?

I want to use them in a self “designed” project but I have that thing where I can’t picture things in my head so I’m really struggling to start from a blank page. TYIA

Hey fellow #knittersofmastodon I'm looking for some advice. I'd class myself still as a beginner knitter, about to try creating my first real wearable (apart from scarves, hats and fingerless mittens). Got a pattern for a cardigan which looks suitable, buuut I'm a fan of hoods and pockets. Thinking patch pockets are doable? How easy would it be for me to create a hood? Is this a tricky thing, am I insane for wanting to try? #KnittingHelp

I have a Very Important (not really) knitting question/advice needed.

So I made this nymphalidea shawl, supposed to look like a butterfly wing. I love it when it's blocked and Im' not wearing it.

When I wear it, I want it to hit lower on my back. If I kept going, the pattern is such that it would be wider (longer horizontally) but never longer vertically.

If both non-lace edges were straight, I could pick up stitches and add. But one is curved.

Is there #any* way to add on to that long curved edge?

SIGH!

@knitting and crochet folks. I saw this blanket at a historic house recently, and wondered what sort of technique or stitch has been used to join the squares? Can anyone help? #KnittingHelp

I have a hand knitted shawl that has been banished to the washing line to de-stink it. If anyone has any suggestions on how to do this otherwise, I'd love to know!

OK, #knitting mastadon! I have a question or just some reassurance: I am finishing up a shawl and it currently has 327sts on the needle. I missed one YO half way through my pattern row. I do NOT want to pick back. When I purl back, can I... mark, then pick up from below to create a YO? #knittersofmastadon #knittinghelp
