Site-Wide Activity

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]

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!

What a great find!

What a great find!

This one is designed to have a pretty slim silhouette. What age is the child and how much stretch does your fabric have? I imagine an older child could shimmy into it but it might be a bit of a struggle. When you say stretch, are you thinking of a woven with some stretch? Or a knit? Could you use snaps (the kind you sew in) or velcro to make a…[Read more]

This is also not a ‘broken’ but a usability question — would it be possible to modify the @ function so it uses the screen name rather than the profile name?
