r/knitting is a subreddit with 602k members. The community frequently discusses knitting, sweater, pattern, looking, and yarn, and they frequently recommend/review interchangeable needles, interchangeable needle set, and sock yarn, and the most common flair used is finished object, work in progress, discussion, rave (like a rant, but in a good way), and help - pattern.
Warm, fuzzy, sometimes tangled. Whether you've been knitting for 5 minutes or 5 decades, you're welcome here! Please read the rules and abide by them, so we can make the sub a great experience for everyone.
Beginners, check out the weekly megathread Helping Beginners – Ask a Knitter where you can ask any questions you have without the need to make a separate post. It's pinned at the top of the subreddit homepage.
