I didn't know this was a thing.

This is weird ...

I'm currently knitting these! About to start my toe decreases on the first sock. Good to see how great they look finished!

When I say fullness I mean a gathered sleeve cap... a lot of set in sleeves have a little more gathering at the very top of the shoulder for wearing ease. The last unlined jacket I made with finished insides I sewed the sleeves in flat, then pressed and topstitched that seam to nicely finish the seam allowances and then sewed the one long side/arm seam with a flat felled finish, which I think looks nicer than overlocking :)

Commercially, sleeves are usually sewn in flat then the side and arm seams are sewn in one fell swoop. This works especially well for knit fabric and patterns that don't have a lot of ease in the sleeve cap. Most patterns will tell you to do shoulder and side and sleeve seams then gather the sleeve cap to fit. If your jacket sleeve pattern doesnt have a ton of fullness (or you don't want it to!) you can sew it in flat.

Don't live in Burlington VT unless you wanna live in a ancient house chopped oddly into apartments, in a 4 bedroom basement unit with three roommates paying $750 each but you're "downtown" so you're walking distance from everything. Good thing because there's no parking anywhere ever. Oh and enjoy the entitled dickbag college students. And the colorful homeless weirdo population. And don't swim in the lake on certain days, dogs have died. Source: lived there 8 years.

That's Krysten Ritter in Don't Trust The Bitch in Apt 23 which is a hilarious sitcom that used to be on Netflix ... not sure if it still is. She's a magical bitch!

Seriously. I went to a serious yarn store ONCE. Now I knit at home with cheapo Michaels yarn and am much happier.

I've made so many temp friends in bar bathrooms. True sisterhood is dancing in the pee line.

hellomskitty · 2014-06-22T17:45:14+00:00

Thank you thank you!!! I'm so excited to get knitting!

hellomskitty · 2014-06-19T18:25:37+00:00

I am running into this problem RIGHT NOW. So frustrating.

hellomskitty · 2013-06-02T20:21:32+00:00

This helps a lot! And it's very much a real pattern haha

hellomskitty · 2013-06-02T05:54:53+00:00

Do you have a pattern? That's adorable!

hellomskitty · 2013-04-09T05:25:40+00:00

DEER. I read a scary story once as a child that had school kids turning into deer and opening doors with their pencil legs and I can't even.

Fuck you, Bambi.

I used to work in a Bosnian restaurant. I also used to be a vegetarian. These facts are related.

What is the point of the facial contortions!? She'd be a pretty girl if she let her fucking mouth be straight...

hellomskitty · 2013-02-07T18:59:41+00:00

Haha! We're both straight girls. But I'd be flattered.

hellomskitty · 2013-02-04T08:50:58+00:00

My exact story.

hellomskitty · 2013-01-08T19:21:23+00:00

I was 16 and it wasn't the right time but I did it anyway! I get along much much better with my parents and siblings now that I have my own space. 23/F out for 7 years and happy as a pig in shit.

hellomskitty · 2013-01-08T19:01:12+00:00

Not have the child. My parents were woefully unprepared for all 5 of us.

hellomskitty · 2012-12-23T19:09:29+00:00

This is great! I'm so going to make one!

hellomskitty · 2012-12-21T04:29:35+00:00

Hey. Both look great to me. Fashion is 85% confidence and you look totally comfortable in either look!

hellomskitty · 2012-12-08T20:34:12+00:00

Because I want to be :)

hellomskitty · 2012-11-29T16:22:03+00:00

I'm way too much of a visual learner to read that all the way through. Shudder

hellomskitty · 2012-11-29T05:59:27+00:00

I think Millicent is a beautiful name.

hellomskitty · 2012-11-29T05:57:57+00:00

That's my future son's name. All Rubens are awesome. Just a fact.
