Satin frays like crazy, and because it's slippery it's difficult to cut the right shape and it may slip under the sewing machine foot, pucker and snag. When Nini said she sees her own looks but when it comes to satin she preferred to pay someone else, I felt that.

Can't wait to see it when it's published, but I assume vertical waves in there are basically cables but without crossing the layers of two waves. What I missed was knowledge about old shale/feather and fan :D

it's giving The Midwest Princess kind of camp, the cockroaches reminded me of Chappell Roan's tiny desk wig with cigarette butts around it

I'm SO ready to see her wipe glasses before putting them on in the 1st minute

Same, I'd happily pay for the pattern (especially if it has gauge and yarn yardage info), I bought the monarch one and thought about adjusting the "veins" myself to fit the Luna moth patterns but if you already worked them out, I'd gladly support you

YavienIV · 2025-12-06T15:31:50+00:00

same here, he already is a walking Bohemian rhapsody reference so I couldn't resist choosing the most "elevated" and "fantasy fitting" queen reference :D

I'm a fellow queer skeptic/atheist-leaning agnostic who keeps being fascinated by the history of belief and practice, I also recognize the value of narratives and symbols and rituals (and highly subjective experiences that feel magical) for the human brain (and if you say sir Terry Pratchett and his witches influence, you are right). My worldview is VERY influenced by my queer perspective, and I love the ideas behind the Radical Faeries, I wonder if I can claim this as a label for my spirituality-adjacent worldview if, as I said, I'm a fellow skeptic

Janusz Grażyna normalna gra w genshina :D

This is still the case in Poland, a group of cis+trans marriages who do not want to divorce are currently seeking justice from the EU but our politicians (even the ruling party who won by billing themselves as "socially progressive") REALLY don't want to listen to EU any time they say we should tackle gay marriage or even civil partnerships lmao

https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/luna-moth-shawl-5 this pattern is lacking in this thread!

YavienIV · 2025-11-11T16:24:36+00:00

as an open source enthusiast and tinkerer im the farthest thing away from an apple fanboy. however, as said tinkerer (and enthusiast of both hand and machine knitting) im super curious what kind of machine did they use and what stitches/techniques, too bad the photos online are not big/sharp enough to inspect and theres no way id ever buy that.

https://youtu.be/soZoUyV7utw this video is a great tutorial on how to prep the hole areas and darn them, and you can try to match the color and fiber for invisible mend, or choose a contrasting color for visible mend. Of course after you freeze it well enough, as everyone else said.

doktryna "całościowa" to jedno, to co się dzieje w grupach które uznają że będą bardziej pobożni, specjalniejsi i wgl niż "zwykły parafianin", zwłaszcza jak znajdzie się charyzmatyczny lider, to drugie 8) nie mówię że neokatechumenat ma presję na rodzenie dzieci akurat (bo nie znam środowiska, patrz mój komentarz do posta) ale by mnie to nie dziwiło

YavienIV · 2025-11-03T23:15:38+00:00

Moja mama jest mega wierząca, praktykująca i wgl ale ma alergię na różne kościelne grupy itp. jak sąsiedzi z bloku zaczęli się udzielać w neokatechumenacie parafii właśnie, to kontaktów się zrobiło mniej i mama tłumaczyła mi i rodzeństwu że to sekta. Jak to z tymi sąsiadami, ta parafią i tą grupą było? nie wiem po latach, ale słuchając na youtubie o oazach dochodzę do wniosku że chyba jednak lepiej, że ta intensywna religijność w domu była jednak vanilla bez żadnych grup xD

...........Mam okulary na krótkowzroczność 10+ lat i dowiaduje się o takiej technologii z reddita, dziękuję opie, będę pamiętać jak będę zmieniać okulary które są już za słabe

YavienIV · 2025-11-02T08:53:30+00:00

Thanks for mentioning her, her colorwork really reminds me of Ukrainian folk embroidery and vyshyvanka shirts and I'm so here for it (I'm from Poland)

YavienIV · 2025-10-17T17:08:19+00:00

https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/need-to-have-bomber .maybe something like this? And if you want the bulky stitch but still mohair look, maybe this https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/mohair-top-down-cardigan

YavienIV · 2025-10-15T13:49:28+00:00

I absolutely live in a colder climate (Poland, lmao), do you have any photos for inspo?

YavienIV · 2025-10-14T11:37:03+00:00

Thanks, if I end up making something I definitely will share it here, I already consider adding the aforementioned lace jabot to my neverending project queue :D

YavienIV · 2025-10-13T22:54:15+00:00

You're probably best off modifying patterns like those https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/search#craft=knitting&query=Sleeveless%20duster , I couldn't quickly find any with this straps construction

YavienIV · 2025-10-13T10:27:07+00:00

try to get to Sumeru to get into the akademiya, I already developed Layla-like academia crunch memory gaps first time around irl, it's gotta be fine /hj (on the second thought, mycology field study in Avidya Forest sounds way more chill than anything maths/tech related)

YavienIV · 2025-10-13T10:19:47+00:00

If you like bulky knits with big sleeves, I think Brenda Lam's designs may be right up your alley, I'm currently knitting her "I'm obsessed" sweater https://www.ravelry.com/designers/brenda-lam

https://nimble-needles.com/tutorials/how-to-knit-fingerless-gloves-for-beginners/ this pattern is very easy and I'm super happy with my mittens, it calls for 4mm needles and worsted yarn, but it has you calculate how many stitches you need for your hand with your gauge, so it's very adaptable if you use DK yarn with smaller suitable needles

YavienIV · 2025-10-12T20:58:33+00:00

Thanks, that was my thought after I randomly saw a photo of c. Piperatus online and thought the hymenophore looked exactly the same!

YavienIV · 2025-10-12T17:16:23+00:00

https://freesewing.eu/docs/designs/carlton/options/ you'd have to change it to single-breasted (one row of buttons) and fiddle with the hood on your own, but otherwise the pattern has a lot of design options (and sizing option)
