Hardworking little helpers: how many stitches are you making today?

Dear community,
Are you busy crafting today, or is real life more important?

Lots of appointments, lots to do, nothing fits into my schedule or is on my way, but I’ve managed to get almost everything done. So just a few stitches—I sewed a pillowcase—and later I’ll do a little crocheting. Nothing’s planned for the weekend except putting my feet up and doing some crafts.

188 stitches per needle—it’s growing, slowly but surely, a few rows every day

I sewed a cover for my grandson’s history book



This used to be his bed linen.

I’ve been crocheting quite a bit today because my daughter was invited to a birthday party and I still needed to finish crocheting a mermaid for the birthday girl. Tomorrow I’ll probably have to catch up on some housework here...

Are you being productive?

What a question—of course. Busy as always.

I’ve picked up some yarn again after a long time and want to knit a narrow, short scarf for myself. The pattern I chose looks great with this yarn, but the edge is curling in, which I don’t like. For now, it’s on hold and sitting on the table so I can look at it again and again, and I hope I’ll come up with a solution for what kind of edge to use with the pattern I’ve chosen.

In the meantime, I’ll be sewing (a storage basket) and embroidering. 

Petra, to keep the edge of a scarf from curling up, I always knit the edge in garter stitch, using at least 3–4 stitches—that way, the edge stays smooth.

Best wishes, Inge

Inge, I tried it with a yarn over (since I wanted to increase) and then a knit stitch, followed by an edge stitch.

It seems like too little. I also considered using only knit stitches, but I wasn’t sure.

Thanks for the tip
