nooo how could my niche interest bring me such PAIN and SORROW:'v(

Lessons learned: Not all stitch patterns work for a circular yoke. After several tries, thinking long and hard and doing the math over and over again, I have learned that this stitch pattern is not suited for a circular yoke. Let me try to explain why... The first version I knit - pictured in the post from a few days ago - was way to small because I increased too little around the neck. The second version - pictured above - fits perfectly around the neck, but is 5 to 6 repeats too wide around the shoulder to bust area. In order to maintain the zigzag pattern, it is necessary to place a certain amount of increases in very specific places of the stitch pattern. But for the yoke to fit, I would need to place the increases differently. The zigzag pattern has too few increases around the neckband and too many increases in the last rows of the stitch pattern. 🤷‍♀️ So, what to do now? I am not ready to give up on this design idea, yet. As soon as I find the time, I will sit down and try to rearrange the stitch pattern - hopefully to look similar to what you see above but allowing for a better positioning of the increases. 🤞 I will keep you updated. Wishing you all a lovely Sunday! 🤗 #circularyoke #yokesweater #yokes #circularyokesweater #herbgardenknitwear #designer #designfail #knittingfail #knittingfailures #knittinglife #myLifeAsAKnitwearDesigner #herbgardenknitwear #herbgardenknitwearYokes #knitting #knitter #learnfrommymistakes #knittinghelp #knitweardesign #knitweardesigner #knitterslove #yokelove #circularyokelove https://www.instagram.com/p/Co1wSFqozYp/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

a harsh and saddened refrain ... misha

I’ve been struggling with it since the first part of the Cards stories is set during a war that is relatively ‘medival’ so I’ve been trying design armour for my characters. I’ve got hearts down with a breastplate and arm thingies (arm braces??) but diamonds got full armour with helmet and being all medival fairytale like and I just can’t do it... I’m practicing tho hopefully I’ll get better at it soon
