I started knitting specifically with this project in mind and was so happy once I was able to make it.

Pattern is: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/owls-9

      Highly inappropriate comment in a knitting post, you mongoloid.

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

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

              Detectives assemble! Something that could be confused as similar to Neanderthal, but isn’t. I’m guessing mongoloid?

      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.

    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).

      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 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!

        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!

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

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

    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?!)

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