@Todd hope the skiing is nice! It seems like we haven’t had snow in ages, though I know they have big machines for that too. My husband took my girl up about 6 weeks ago and said it was a weird feeling being able to ski in a t-shirt. But, the mountain we go to is probably a lot more south (ie warmer) in the state than the one you are at.

I feel like I’m running an ad agency for Brooklyn Tweed at this point, but it’s just something I know well and can use for a further example; I’m sure many other designers have a lot of these fantastic features.

When looking at a knitting pattern, you might be happier if:

1. It has a lot of makes on Ravelry. You can look at modeled photos of…[Read more]
Sarvi replied to the topic Help me enjoy knitting again in the forum Fiber Club! 10 years ago

I was thinking about this thread this morning while I was blocking something. It’s this pattern: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/arlo

and it asks you to block to a schematic. I was thinking that there are only a few ways for a garment to not fit. One, it’s poorly designed. Same as with sewing patterns — it asks for too few inches for a…[Read more]

Oh honey — that is a whole, whole lot of no fun at all. Wishing you a lot of courage and a few moments somewhere, somehow, for yourself. All I can say is that this too shall pass.

  Matilda has promised not to vomit or knock a drink in this one 🙂
Nicole replied to the topic Best O +S pattern to use to make jeans? in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 10 years ago

Awww, thank you Melani and Shelley.
I agree, I think denim maketh the jeans, not just the pattern.

My new Macbook has arrived (skips and dances around the room)
Now I just need Hugo to get home from footy practice to set it up for me…..

Missed you guys so much!

Todd Gibson replied to the topic spring 2015 patterns – when?? in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 10 years ago

Sorry all of you who are waiting. We can’t even announce the new patterns yet because someone (I won’t say who…) is spending this week enjoying some wonderful spring skiing in Utah, and he has to finish photographing the samples and editing the modeled photos once he gets home later this week. He’ll be working over the holiday weekend to get…[Read more]

I think Badminton would make a fantastic nightgown. Though I also have a Kwik Sew pattern that I love for nighties.
Masha Richart replied to the topic The size 5 project in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 10 years ago

@sahmcolorado I think I will be doing this for my oldest girl too! She still takes a 2 or 3 width in the dress patterns but she needs 6 for length.

lol @Jess M. that is quite an impressive stack you have going!

Todd Gibson replied to the topic spring 2015 patterns – when?? in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 10 years ago

Sorry to keep you in suspense!

Everything is printed, and now it’s time for the process of marrying up the jobs from the different printers and getting them assembled. Then they need to ship back across the country and get warehoused before we can release them.

So it will probably be another couple weeks, but it could be sooner if everyone does…[Read more]

The latest O+S blog post said “in a week or two.” That’s all I know 🙂
roundtheworldgirl replied to the topic Help me enjoy knitting again in the forum Fiber Club! 10 years ago

Tamara, that is exciting – and the answer of course is, “it depends.” In my most prolific (pre-kids) knitting days I could finish a hat in two days, and an adult sweater in two weeks. But I spent hours per day doing it. Now it takes me forever to finish anything – I may knit up to an hour a day when I am very smitten with a project (but I’ve…[Read more]
Sarvi replied to the topic Help me enjoy knitting again in the forum Fiber Club! 10 years ago

That’s such a fun and pretty yarn!
Sarvi replied to the topic Help me enjoy knitting again in the forum Fiber Club! 10 years ago

Linda is spot on. The only thing I would add is that some yarns are inherently very firm and some grow/bloom in counterintuitive way so also block your swatch. Even a half or a third of a stitch off (in width — row gauge is better handled in inches, I think) can add up so much more quickly than it seems it should.
Masha Richart replied to the topic News and Current Affairs in the forum off topic 10 years ago

I dreamt about the new O+S patterns last night. In my dream there were two of them and I was very excited but I cannot for the life of me remember what I dreamt they were … clearly sewing has been at the forefront of my thinking lately!
