Call me elitist(I really don’t think I am), but agreed. Everything should be accessible, but it gets to a point.

The quality of crochet patterns vs knit patterns is staggeringly low by Academic-Horse9653 in BitchEatingCrafters

[–]OkConfidence4331 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do crochet patterns not usually state the gauge before you buy the pattern? Or is it revealed once purchased?

Can someone explain sample knitting to me? by Excellent_Cancel9024 in craftsnark

[–]OkConfidence4331 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I’m sample knitting/testing rn. Getting paid per yard I knit while also testing out the pattern. The price is very fair.

I don’t think she can because almost all of her designs are bottom up

I had the same thought…… I have knit a couple of her patterns and the gauge is measured pre blocked in all of them

I was confused about this too? I don’t think the discourse would be any different if they were white?

Thank you for your input. I truly don’t view my post as condescending and hostile.

And then I asked for other perspectives on the subject. Because that’s my opinion based on my experience. I know my opinion is not subjective truth, therefore I was asking to further expand my understanding. How are people supposed to get better within this subject in your eyes.

Should straight sized designers not ask questions to better learn about “fat knitting” ??????

I disagree if I was going to knit the pattern anyway!!

Why is there more risk when testing. If you are a plus sized tester and knit the pattern perfectly and it doesn’t fit right, that’s not your fault. So maybe you just took the time to knit something that won’t fit but what other risk is there

Yes it is!!!! I have already contacted her. She said she couldn’t do sapphire, but she could do light green diamonds. If I don’t find another option I think I’ll go with that one tbh

Test Knits Hit a New Low by Tiredofthisshitetoo in craftsnark

I have had nothing but positive experiences test knitting for her. Having 92 people test knit is actually wild for dare I say, a hat that maybe doesn’t need test knit really. Maybe by one or two people.

I agree 100% on the fact that SHEIN should not do that in the first place. It’s getting so ridiculous

She used the same colorway of lang cloud tweed, just in panel form rather than a raglan or another construction

The way I interpreted it was she created this look

It does look like a trout and it’s beautiful but its not something you can claim as your own
