The "sweater curse" or "curse of the love sweater" is a term used by knitters and crocheters to describe the belief that if a knitter or crocheter gives a hand-knit sweater to a significant other, it will lead to the recipient breaking up with the knitter
break yarn or don’t break yarn
break yarn
don’t break yarn
Thing can be done either way; if you do not break the yarn, you don’t have to weave in any ends (unless your yarn has a you can’t escape fate kind of a thing going on and has a knot or a break in it already), and the project can be completed as if in a single brushstroke etc. etc.
If you break the yarn, you get: slightly more symmetry.
I know what I’m probably going to stick with, but I’m honestly a little curious.
UNRELATED PINHOLE CASTON:
knitters & crocheters of tumblr, how often do you actually make a gauge swatch before starting your project?
always
most of the time, or unless i know a pattern/yarn/designer really well
about 50/50
occasionally, but definitely less than half the time
i think i remember making a gauge swatch a couple times
literally never
been knitting voraciously for about three years and almost never swatch 😬 i’m knitting a sweater for the first time and decided it was worth it based on the amount of effort i’m about to put into this and was wondering how much people actually follow the best practices
When do you weave in the ends on your knitting/crochet projects?
Consistently as I go because I am Responsible™️
As I finish different stages of a project (ex: after the body, after the sleeves
At the end, once I’m done knitting/crocheting
After blocking
You guys are weaving in your ends?

I love designing shirts with keyholes and I recently had an aha moment for keyhole shapes, inspired by Ravelry designers like Emma Jaeger and Knit With Miki. I also want to design something modular with swappable design elements.
thus, MixyMatchy was conceived! she's still in the planning stage, but I wanted to test the waters regarding interest in designs like these, as well as ask a question.
were I to design and sell this pattern on Ravelry, would you prefer:
1) a pattern with all elements (most expensive, easiest format for me) 2) several iterations of the pattern with each possible combination (mid expensive, most PDF formatting work for me) 3) a Ravelry deal where you buy the base pattern and get two free patterns that you would follow for the sleeves and keyhole (least expensive, most PDFs to juggle for you)
I would prefer...
full pattern, all elements included
one pattern per possible combination
buy one get two deal
