i dont consider myself a 'fashion guru' by any means but one thing i will say is guys you dont need to know the specific brand an item you like is - you need to know what the item is called. very rarely does a brand matter, but knowing that pair of pants is called 'cargo' vs 'boot cut' or the names of dress styles is going to help you find clothes you like WAAAYYYY faster than brand shopping

I take back what I said earlier: I would absolutely sell my craft creations, and by "sell" I mean "trade for something I equally value". Do you like my punk rock giraffe stuffie? You can have one for $81... or a bag full of coreopsis seeds. A knit fringe lumberjack hat? Thats $195... or a jar of local honey. Ill sew new clothes for all of your kid's dolls, usually $300+ in labor and material, but Id rather they draw me a really cool picture that I can hang on my fridge.

Knitting the Wisteria Shawl Collar Pullover at the moment. Easy, mindless knit. I´m on the first sleeve.

When the world is burning, you keep on knitting/sewing/crafting.

The dress has a pattern now - I decided to write it up and adapt for other sizes. It may still have errors here, so I'm updating the version on Ravelry as I come across them. It's free, I didn't want to charge anything because it felt wrong to.

Also:

I've started another one.

The make one right increase is a bit harder than the make one left, because it can be difficult to insert the right needle into the front of the stitch.

I pull the stitch and press with my thumb to create some slack, which makes everything easier.
