Oh Grittney, sounds like the preteen thing has struck at your house. My daughter was just like that starting from about 9 and my son is starting to become rather opinionated about what he wears – he feels like he is in prison with certain stripe combinations!

I think its a good thing to include them in the planning process. More of a chance they…[Read more]

I want to make more for my, all of a sudden, very opinionated 9 year old. She has noticed the clothes I make her aren’t the same as what the kids at school wear, ie the majority aren’t knits and she decided to have an opinion about colors and patterns. But, she still loves when I make her things, so I need to change my game.

I want to focus…[Read more]

Could you hear my squeal from here? Liesl said blazer! Definitely one of my dream patterns.

To see your top-viewed items on Flickr (on a computer – I don’t know if you can view “views” on the mobile app), go to your page. On the right hand side right underneath your “active since” date, there will be 3 white dots (like an ellipsis), mouse over that and a drop-down menu will appear. Click on “popular” and then you can sort your most…[Read more]

I went and checked each picture 🙂
My top viewed photo is of the casual elsa dress I made early in 2014, 1, 243 views. I think this is also one of the most worn items this year as well!

I was surprised by second place, 1, 020 views. It is another hopscotch dress I made 2 years ago and entered in a Project Run And Play sew along. It’s a pink…[Read more]

@rhythmtyagi that cross stitch is adorable! I saved the Martha Stewart pdf template to my phone’s Kindle app and am already thinking how I can adapt it to resemble my family – mostly, how I’ll make the man’s outfit look like a military uniform ;-). I love that the baby is in a carrier as I use my ring sling and ergo all the time! I like the sizing…[Read more]

@dubhels2003 try this:

Interesting topic. How do you look at stats on Flickr, other than by checking each individual picture? Off the top of my head I think mines a not brilliant picture taken on my husband’s iPhone. I wonder what role the description and title play in increasing traffic too.

Since my pro account expired, I can’t access my stats anymore (The daily breakdown of views, traffic sources etc) – I can still see basic number stats though.

My most popular pic is actually not sewing related at all – it a photo of a huntsman spider (almost 10000 views – go figure)

My second most popular is one of my Lisette portfolio tunics,…[Read more]

Sarvi – dos you keep your pro account on Flickr? I used to check my stats, but since my pro account expired I can’t see them any more…

Ahhhh, thanks for mentioning this Sarvi – I have been meaning to for while – yes, can this be addresses somehow? Many of us (myself included) have a different user name & screen name

@JWo what a clever idea to use a mirror! I’ve read that for knitting Fair Isle it’s great to be able to knit both English and Continental — maybe lefties have advantages when it comes to certain kinds of knitting?

That’s a pretty good amount of stretch — would you be able repurpose it into a regular Seashore if it didn’t work out as a closure-free version?

I think it’s a rayon/jersey blend with probably 50% stretch.

My daughter and I have differing opinions and she picked out the fabric, since it’s for her I decided to go with it. Now I’m wondering how much of a pain this might be…

@vothgirl, I’m left-handed too and my grandmother taught me to knit almost 40years ago. Mostly I sat opposite her and copied her right-handed knitting but occasionally we used a mirror. It seemed like a great idea at the time but, like you have found, there are fewer resources for lefties. That makes things so much more difficult and frustrating!…[Read more]

Did everybody hear that? That was me popping a bottle of champagne — I have some wool and silk tweed I’ve been saving for this since 2011, no joke!
