    I always cast on 50 stitches and do 5 garter stitches on each end, and a few garter rows to begin with. When I cast off, it keeps my swatch from curling. Especially in Stockinette. I recently learned the value in swatching…usually I don’t mind, as I knit stuff for DD so if it’s bigger, well she can wear it longer or next season. But this…[Read more]

    And completely frivoulous, but I really want a buttonhole chisel! LOL

  • I’m having this issue right now! I usually scale up. Only because I know we will wear it eventually! This said, I haven’t made many of the pants yet! Only shorts!

    I have the feeling Maria is teeny like Tildy! I think the ones I know are a tight fit over the head, I’m sizing up to 5’s. I’m still debating on the Family Reunion–4 or 5 LOL.…[Read more]

    I would love to see some good quality sewing needles. I do like a bit of hand sewing (and soon to venture into the hand quilting world!). Also, glass head pins!

  • Jess M. replied to the topic Tools in the forum off topic 9 years ago

    Can you show me pics of the ones you use??

    Do any of you prolific sewists use notching tools? I hate cutting those little notches!

    With shawls, I am finding that I am not an agressive enough blocker So they come out smaller.

    As for hats—2 very l9vely patterns that were quick knits—windshief, & Beeswax(cables). beeswax looks so complex. But the patternis SO intuitive.

    And sometimes you just have to out the needles down and walk away for a bit. Thdre is nothing…[Read more]

    Firstly, pics. Or it didnthappen. I love me some Tosh yarn. I practicaly knit with it exclusively.

    I tend to be this way with all ofmy crafts—I am obsessed with it until I am burned out. Then it has to go away for awhile while I become obsessed with something else, and somethIng else. Rinse and repeat. Thisbis how I keep the love…[Read more]

    The weather is starting to warm up, and I don’t know why that makes me want to SEW ALL THE THINGS! I’m currently piecing some digi patterns and making templates of my paper patternsn in the size I need! I’m gearing up for a Rollerskate, Playdate, Playtime!, Puppet Show, a non-Oliver dress/tunic and like 3 others I can’t remember LOL.

  • Can I bump this with my own ISO for Paper Patterns so as not to clog the board?

    If there is anyone looking to switch from Paper to Digital, please let me know! I would really love to nab a 2+2 in the larger size ( I have the smaller), and I would be happy to purchase the digital for you as a swap (or Paypal the digital value+ Shipping of…[Read more]

  • I am probably no help whatsoever, as I love the idea of digital, but I’m a touch type person, and I have a huge collection of paper patterns. My OCD really really hates having both LOL. I have quite a few digital, and I have to say, the putting together of the O+S digital patterns is a much smoother process than many other indie pattern shops.…[Read more]

  • Firstly, when did she become 6months?????? Gah, they grow too fast!

    I’d say Class Picnic and Sleepover PJ’s get the most love here. Oh, and swingset tunic. Honestly, I’d make more 2+2, but I need to hunt down the larger set LOL. I also plan to make some Playdates, because those are perfect with leggings. I need to make some of my…[Read more]
