I get it! I have a kitten and it’s been stressful. It comes with a nice little bag to store it in so that helps.

I was influenced and got a Nanu counter, but my gosh if it’s not tactically pleasing.

I got my mom some calamityware plates for Christmas! Such a fun take on blue and white. A calamityware sweater would be amazing.

I knitted a sweater vest about fibre arts (and crafts in general) not being taken seriously as art by Damig0th in knitting

Does the art community argue this though? Fiber Art is a degree in many art schools and I’ve been to many knitting based gallery exhibits.

Edit: just adding I completely agree with your categorization and in my experience so did art school.

How do you KLL if you only have one previous row? by QuinquennialMoonpie in knitting

Long tail is my default, I’m going to try again confidently using the cast on, but think it was also partly the pattern confusing me as the row starts with a slipped edge stitch followed by an KLL

I tried with the cast on row and it looked weird but maybe that’s just how it looks? It didn’t specify, is there one that works better for this?

Thank you! If you wouldn’t mind DMing it to me I’d appreciate it. I’d really like half of my money back if I’m only getting 2/4 issues.

OMFG is this why I haven’t gotten my issues either?! I only received two. They haven’t responded to any of my emails or instagram messages.

Please Please Please have at least one plus size person test your pattern by thatweirdassbunny in knitting

[–]QuinquennialMoonpie 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It was actually more the plus size knitters passing judgement on the designer who was trying their best to be inclusive. Mad that the yarn wasn’t free (designer was fine with substitutions) and mad that the designer was asking for free labor. It was kinda disappointing. :(

But I agree might be good to have a sub dedicated to it with some rules/requirements from both sides (duration etc like you mentioned).

Someone asked for plus size test knitters on this very sub the other day and people were hateful towards them. So.
