what you need to understand is that textile work is basically the closest i have seen to Real Magic and the reason old ladies in quilting spaces are either the grumpiest or the most whacky cheerful people you'll ever meet is because they're basically wizards who have studied the ancient crafts too long

ok, after many days of learning to use excel formulas to make the base for a pattern and changing design motifs, ive started working on version 1 of a fish/sea themed jumper. dont have a name for it yet.
Its knit flat from the bottom up and then seamed, but has enough colourwork to keep it interesting. im currently knitting the back panel and it’s going well, it might be a big bigger than i thought but i guess we’ll see
some yarn swatches for a jumper im gonna make. im not using a pattern so currently figuring out stitch counts and pattern repeats and stuff. i might keep log of the process on this blog

this is a work of art
this thing is getting. unwieldy. the pattern outright warns you about how heavy this thing gets if you do it beaded (it’s got something absurd like 5,000 beads on it including those beaded tassels) but i. did not fully appreciate how much 5,000 beads weigh.

i have one successful pattern posted on etsy and ravelry. i cant say id know too much about garment pattern selling, but my dms are open!
Does anyone have any experience with selling knitting patterns? Or fiber related patterns of any kind? I kind of want to try, but I have questions.

Finished my first handknit sweater! (pattern credit)
I originally decided I wanted to make a nipple sweater back in 2020, but I didn't like the drape of the crochet fabric, and I ended up frogging it in order to have enough yarn to make Baby Louis.
It's the cycle of life, really. Creation -> death -> birth -> and now I've got plenty of nipples for Baby Louis to pick from when he's hungry.

I thought some of you might enjoy a peek at my knitting notebook! Tumblr is so useful but I really love having a physical book for storing all my yarn-related thoughts. This is where I keep cute stitch patterns, color ideas, techniques I’ve learned and even some whole patterns for taking on the go. Perfect for when I don’t have internet access and can’t remember which one is m1r and which is m1l. But mostly, it’s just so nice to sink some time into it once in a while. Taking a moment to draw pictures and make each page something pretty just for me has been so relaxing and rewarding.

FREE POETSHIRT PATTERN
Some assembly required
Ok so. I made a sewing pattern that involves a lot of maths on the end users part - this is the only way I, a complete pattern making novice, can make this 100% size inclusive. Luckily it’s super simple and it just a whole bunch of rectangles.
Yes it’s written in cm. Bite me.
So to elaborate a bit:
It’s pretty straight forward. You plug in your own measurements in the places it’s needed.
Body x2: should be twice your either shoulder width or your widest point (if you’re more pear shaped you might want to use your hip width) by the length from your shoulder to about mid thigh* (you can make it as long or short as you want. This could probably also work as a shift pattern in a pinch). In one of the pieces, you should cut a slit in the middle, which as shown above should be about from your neck to your sternum.
Sleeves x2: these should be 2-3 times your bicep measure (this will determine the poofiness of the sleeves), by your arm length. Adding a few cm to the length can be a good idea here. I usually just round up to what seems most logical.
Cuffs x4: your wrist measure + 3-4cm of ease, by how ever long you want them - 5-10cm is a good place to start.
Collar x2: your collar measure** by however tall you want your collar. Keep in mind that it will be folded over.
Gussets
Oh glorious gussets. The whole reason this pattern works! But also where it gets a bit mathy
Sleeve gussets: these are square. The diagonal should be about 1/6 of your total armscye (all the way around). Rather a bit too small than too big - it can fuck up the fit (it did for me)
Shoulder gussets: these will depend wholely on how buff your trapezius muscles are. If your neck/shoulder is at a right angle, they’re not strictly necessary, but if you’re super buff, they’re very necessary. I’d say an average shoulder gusset is about 5-7cm, but it’s up to you.
Reinforcements
Again, these aren’t strictly necessary, but if you want your shirt to last it’s a good idea to put them in. You can choose to use between 5 and 10 total. These don’t need to be very big, they just go at any split in the fabric. About 2,5cm is good.
Instructions
I used these videos for assembly instructions

This is going to be hard without pictures…

*you can also keep the body as one piece, which should then be twice the length you want it. The slit at the neck will also have to be cut in the middle of the piece.
**your collar measure is the measurement at your neck going over your collarbone rather than tight to the neck.
