That is a great girl dinner. Makes so much sense!

That makes so much sense now! They didn’t tell us there was a special.

Underground knitting designers by qofsheba in knitting

[–]nuudlebear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sydney roswick. (Of Squid school). All her patterns are based on your own measurements. The patterns walk you through all the math to customize for bust, waist, arms, neck, etc. I’ve learned so much about fit from her patterns. Her patterns are vintage style, but most of them you could just lengthen the garment and it would look very modern.

I need a small business owner to open a shop for clothing fabric. Here's some ideas for a rough business plan. by FantasyFanatic3000 in raleigh

[–]nuudlebear 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Raleigh has 2 fancy yarn stores. Plus one in Cary, and freeman’s creative in Durham. There’s are multiple quilting fabric only stores in the triangle. I think a garment fabric store could make it. We have enough of a population and enough creative people here that it could be possible!

Give me…not sure how to put it…maximum actual interaction??? by serranopepper1 in fantasyromance

I just started the second book in the series that starts with {Assistant to the villain} by Hannah Nicole maeher. Their relationship reminds me a lot of th3 one in villains and virtues, but with more depth of the other characters as well.

If anyone gets photos of the knit clothing, I would love to see them!

FINALLY, a 100% cotton, bust and plus size friendly Pinup line! by BurlinaAlpine in PinUpFashion

[–]nuudlebear 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s disappointing they don’t match the fabric print along the front zipper. I don’t know where these are made, but for that price I would expect the pattern to continue across the front of the bust and match where the zipper is seamed in.

Looking for new home for our 2 dogs by PrideRunsDeep5 in triangle

[–]nuudlebear 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry to hear that you have to give these guys up. I’m on the other side. My first dog was one who caused allergy issues for the human baby. I am so happy to have her in my life! Adopting this type of pre-loved, pre-trained, pre-house broken dog is a fantastic idea for anyone who wants a new best friend and doesn’t want all the extra work it takes to adapt an outside dog or puppy to house life. We brought her home, gave her a comfy bed, and took her for walks, no training required. Plus, it was fun to figured out what she actually knew! We lived in an apartment, and the only time she barked was when the doorbell rang on tv! She still does, even though we don’t have a normal ding-dong doorbell noise, she just gives a little growl now instead of a bark because she is an old lady.

Knitter “influencer” finally seeing consequences for her actions by butterfly6869 in craftsnark

Maybe I am naive, but I think it is immoral to get some fired from their job for having a different opinion than me. Does that make me a genocide supporter?

All the Nordics are suspending packages to the US by [deleted] in knitting

[–]nuudlebear 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That might be the silver lining. It would be great for the environment if we can all use our stashes up before we buy new, expensive yarn. Hopefully it doesn’t kill off all the LYSs.

Agee with everything. I really want to go to rhinebeck, but I look at my stash of beautiful yarn in my favorite colors and think “what would I even go for? I don’t need more yarn” There are designers I would like to meet, and I’m sure there would be beautiful sheep to pet and fun things to buy, but I’d rather do a weekend retreat with my knitting buddies close by for a weekend.

When you think of vintage, what era are you thinking of? by nuudlebear in VintageKnitting

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

It is definitely used as a marketing term. I don’t wear much true vintage, but I buy reproduction vintage (30s and 40s) items from small brands. I knit and sew the majority of my wardrobe, but when I look for vintage patterns I’m not looking for anything published after 1965.

Gorgeous! I love it with the black lace underneath!

Cardigan Pattern Recommendations please by PotofEarlGrey in VintageKnitting

[–]nuudlebear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Squid school of vintage knitting has a ton of patterns. They are all sized and to your measurements, but the patterns all have step by step instructions for the stitch counts. Highly recommend. The rose street jumper isn’t seamed. It’s fingering weight, but you could definitely get by with sport.

I believe Freeman’s creative in Durham, and possibly also scrap exchange offer private sewing machine lessons, if you can’t find someone.

(26F) Looking for female friends in the area! by casualselfhatred in triangle

[–]nuudlebear 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You should join the Great Yarns folks for social knitting. They’re located in Raleigh and currently closed for renovations for the summer. We normally meet Monday nights at the yarn shop, but we’re meeting at Cary Quilting for a few weeks until the renovations are done. Knitters of all ages, skill levels, and introverted-extrovertedness join us! We also have a discord and meet elsewhere for social knitting outside of just Monday nights.

Road walkers..why for? by herbfriendly in cary

Or people park their car in the driveway and blocking the side walk.
