Ayoo just to preempt the inevitable dumb takes we’re about to start seeing;

I am PRO-WOOL

I am PRO-LEATHER

I am PRO-BEES

Fuck the idea of replacing durable, sustainable animal products with cheap, flimsy plastic that doesn’t bio-degrade. Agave nectar and other artificial sweeteners are expensive, labor-intensive, and destroy the environment to be farmed.

Do not buy into pernicious marketing campaigns pushed by dickhead organizations trying to stay relevant, like PETA.

Sewing pattern: this is NOT for beginners

Me, a beginner:

[lucyinstitches]

boyfriend was just getting all gushy because I did something nice for him and he said "I love you so much, you are the most wonderful creature," and then in an abruptly solemn tone added "but make no mistake. you are a creature"

[lucyinstitches]

I know I never post my own stuff but this project took me like three months and I'm so proud of it!!

edit: pattern was found on ravelry!

Birds Sweater<33

Hand knit by me, pattern is called Birds Chart and is by Priscilla Publishing Company, the structure of the sweater is made up by me.

Is it controversial to block the body of a sweater before adding sleeves? I do it pretty regularly to force me to take a break from a project, especially one as labor intensive as this. Also bc of the texture I was getting nervous about the fit. No worries though bc she relaxed nicely with a block and now fits exactly how I wanted it to.

This is the lauder sweater by creabea in farmers daughter fiber pishkun base “winter wolf”

You all need to hear this:

1. You probably dont suck at your craft as much as you think you do, I bet a lot of people are amazed at what you can make, and

2. If you actually are the Literal Worst In The Whole Wide World at your craft... who the fuck cares? What are they gonna do, call the police on you? Keep making your shitty little things, youre the boss of you, fuck the haters.

I knit a beautiful dragon cardigan 😭 I wanted something medieval and intricate (and warm). I took the photos at the beach which was also very lovely.

Don’t mind the uneven button placement. It is what it is.

You can find the chart on Pinterest, I think it’s either a vintage filet crochet or cross stitch graph. I was also inspired by a similar sweater I saw made by @theeverlastingmuse
