So, if you knit on bigger needles than say, US 3s, I recommend using needle protectors (those little caps) on any inactive needles, it helps soooo much! I’m working a tube scarf with 80 stitches in the round, and I haven’t lost a single stitch using them.

The thinner look really is lovely, I don’t think anyone would turn down that end project.

The other notion is just an idea, I don’t want to throw extra work at you!

I like the skinnier panels, the pop-out/cutout colors show better, and will look stylish on any table.
If you feel nervous about the product width, what about adding the center white/cream to the outsides as a foldable layer (if wider is desired, fold it out; if skinnier is desired, keep it back

It’s so lovely!!
You can do this!

Those are so pretty!!

Or, maybe just have a lot of extra length that unfolds from the back of the shorts like wings, that can fold and be layered in place?

Ooo yeah I see your planning sketches.

So the kimono is meant to wrap from one side all the way around to the other, and your obi will hold it in place; shorts sit differently, but maybe you can create ties to fasten the kimono to the shorts (like over your hip bone) to keep the look smooth?

Origami I made, a few rabbit figurines, a Lego figure on my stickered computer tower, an old afghan on my comp chair, and an ikea octopus lurking under my desk. I may drag a tatami mat in there eventually, depends on space and desk alignment.

Are you making shorts? Separate piece from the kimono, right?
November 30, 2025 at 7:46 PM
Biggest measurement to worry about is shoulder width and kimono length.

You can vary certain measures beyond that, for a more custom fit, but in general, kimono are pretty modular, thankfully.

Practice one in a easy white fabric (make that juban/underlayer while you’re at it)

Backstitching may change things.

Also, if you want to create a different color balance, I wonder what holding one strand of the purple with one of a blue or grey close in saturation level instead?

There are few things in the world more beautiful than a dedicated craftsperson at work.
Thank you for sharing this!!

This appears to be a nice guide for how to read and understand knitting charts.
I mostly figured it out as I made more challenging projects, but charts are handy for texture changes, or stitch count changes.

Well, knitting charts generally have a similar “code” or “legend”. Most patterns will have a key that explains which symbols represent which stitches.

Does the chart “look like” the end product you want to make?

I can try and translate it out for you, if that would help, from DMs.

Those hips don’t lie, but that shirt definitely does.

These are so cute!!!!

How heavy was the combat/survival aspect?
Super interested but averse to a lot of combat time.

Observation or asking for help?

Reading a mystical language, using sticks, occasionally chanting, creating something out of almost nothing…

Yeah, it’s sorcery!

Chemically, growing youth don’t hit full maturity until 25/30, so I can understand why people would feel either way.

If you look back at yourself 5 years ago, would that be a person you would trust and date, if you were your type?

Honestly we watched a prime show this week, and we only got 6min of show between 1-3 min of commercials for the entire time.

That’s worse than broadcast TV!
