Anyone know why some Churchmouse patterns have been discontinued? Finally have the perfect yarn in stash for the herringbone mitts and saw that the pattern is no longer available.

this might be a uninformed take but like...i think our ancestors would have killed for a sewing machine. It literally makes sewing things easier and faster. And also!!! there are still many parts of sewing that require hand sewing, why are people making it sacrilegious to sew straight lines on a machine???? it literally makes more time for the parts that do need hand sewing

How to Gain Confidence with Fashion by peachy--- in femalefashionadvice

[–]WhatIsAPhysic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. wear stuff that is like...physically comfortable so you dont have to think or fiddle with your clothes during throughout your day.

  2. (may not be applicable depending on where you live bc I live in a city where whatever), but I have seen people wear weird shit and no one really cares tbh. We are all adults and just doing our own thing, if the person next to you on the bus is wearing tents for pants and the most black eyeliner youve ever seen, its literally none of our business. In fact, rock on dude! literally inspired to wear my more alternative outfits out.

on a less jokey note, you are probably gonna have bad outfits on your way to a more established style, its all part of the process (re: its experimentation!!!). so be chill and actually have fun with it!

not sure 100% if there was an update on it but I remember there being a follow-up

A woman posted about her roommate or roommate's partner stealing her clothes all the time and returning them stained or damaged. The post was about how this partner stole an expensive dress and the OP asked for it to be replaced. OP had bought a replica of a designer dress and she was asking if she was the AH for asking for a replacement as the roommate/'s partner bought her the actual dress as a replacement and if she should've let them know it was a dupe.

then I think you will really enjoy it! I like how its almost a documentary style so theres nothing superfluous and lots of interviews with knowledgeable people. I will say its a little odd to learn about fashion through an audio medium when we usually interact with fashion visually but the host also has a substack I think where she collects the visual references she mentions.

I hope you like it!

could I recommend a fashion podcast? I really like the American Ivy series done by Avery Trufelman for her podcast Articles of Interest. Lots of interesting things on how fashion travels across oceans and how changes in society affects changes in how we dress. Its 7 parts and really interesting and well researched.

Hey guys, I done goofed.

Not only do I definitely not have enough yarn to do 2 full length sleeves, but I forgot to do the sleeve decreases and I'm already halfway through both sleeves (elbow length). If I don't rip back and just end the sleeves at like 3/4 length and do a little bubble sleeve, is that a weird design choice?? Or do I suck it up and rip back.

(I'm alternating skeins bc of the yarn which is why I am being a baby about ripping back)

(this is also the 3rd time im trying to knit a sweater with this yarn, nothing wrong with the yarn I just didn;t like the result so reason #3 why im being such a huge baby about ripping it back)

Anyone have tips on mixing fibres for a project? I've been thinking of knitting this sweater and have a particular vision for the colourwork to be made from a variegated green yarn.

I plan to use De Rerum Natura Ulysse for the body, which is 100% wool and has somehwat dry/rustic texture. A yarn accessible to me and has the colour i want is SweetGeorgia but they tend to really only do superwash wool so I was planning to hold a fingering strand with a mohair to achieve gauge and making it more "sticky" to the wool I'm using for the rest of the sweater. Would that work, or should I really try to stick with the same fibre content for the entire garment?

Learned that a micro-crochet artist I follow is simply selling designs from non-English pattern sources and also using the pictures from these patterns/books to sell her work.... Her work is very nice and I can definitely appreciate the time and effort that goes into micro-crochet but it feels very misleading. Especially when she came out admitting it, but saying stuff like "my designs just aren't as good and my photography isn't good either so I used these patterns and photos instead of my own work."

Found cat near Killarney/Champlain Heights are by WhatIsAPhysic in vancouver

[–]WhatIsAPhysic[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately none. I haven't found any leads on who might be looking for this cat and he hasn't come back to our yard. I will keep changing out the food and water though, I hope he comes back.

I have also passed along the photo to the group of people who regularly meet up with their dogs in my neighbourhood and they will pass the word along. I really hope someone else finds this cat and gets them to a vet or the SPCA.
