My final finished object of 2023 - and the first of three "better late than never" FO posts - is my Neon Nectar by Wool and Pine! I think this is my favorite make ever up to this point - every time I put it on, I never want to take it off! It fits so nicely, the yarn is so nice, it's super comfy, I just love everything about it!

What's that? I never posted about this project at all until this very post? You are correct. Also, shush.

Ok, so my last post about the issues of plus sized patterns popped off in a way I did not expect??

I just want to come back and say: making patterns is hard work and especially those who make their patterns free online, it is a LOT of hard work that the designer gets nothing back for. I didn't mean for it to sound like I thought that was an easy thing to do.

But, like a lot of people pointed out in the tags and comments, fashion world has already done the leg work for us. There are size charts and mathematical equations you can do to scale your pieces in such a way that at least matches what you would see in stores. I think, honestly, that this is where the break down is. I think pattern makers take bust/chest measurements, and scale all of their numbers from there, without thinking about their piece as clothing (instead of just a knitting project, if that makes sense).

And I think that's where fat people get left behind. Because our bodies don't scale the way you would scale up a hat or mittens or something. It takes added work and added care to think about fat people and how our bodies look and work (hence why my previous post said "please talk to a fat person"--it's not that we know how to make patterns, but that we can advise what works for our bodies!)

I want to end on a helpful note, if I can:

My favorite pattern maker for plus sized projects is Jacqueline Cieslak!

I have bought a couple of patterns from them, and I have never had the not-for-fat-bodies problems I have had before. They have a handful of different styles, many of which are very customizable. Not to mention that the patterns themselves are VERY thorough. They link to tutorial videos they have made for anything more complicated than a stockinette stitch, and have lots of detailed diagrams showing different measurements for different parts of the project.

Anytime I am making a piece for myself or my other plus sized love ones, I go to Jacqueline first! Hopefully their patterns will help anyone who identified with my previous post find some patterns that work for them!

It’s so funny reading about queer male classic authors bc it seems like every single one of them-across continents even- knew each other by name. Like you’ll look up Bram Stoker or some shit and Wikipedia.org will say “had several orgies with Oscar Wilde and Walt Whitman, hung out with Alaina Locke in spare time to shit talk F. Scott. Fitzgerald” and you have to say well okie dokie then

#for legal reasons he didn’t have several orgies with those men #but he did have fat crushes on them #like I know queer communities were tight knit but goddamn #we’re they ALL penpals????#classics #classic literature #classic lit memes #bram stoker #dracula #f scott fitzgerald #the great gatsby #oscar wilde #walt whitman #Alain Locke #queer #queer community #mlm #gay

Shout-out to all the fat, mid size, and overall not-skinny fibre workers who are trying to make clothes for themselves and you're having to double sizes and yarn amounts for it to fit your body, I am sending you good vibes and luck with finishing your project.

big thank you to @bongwaterfrank for making this initial post for chubby frank appreciation <3

i’ve seen some folks making their own versions of this post and including frimages where he is not bigger and is in fact still a skinny little twink, so maybe we don’t do that :) when we’re talking about appreciating him when he gained weight :)

anyway! here’s my chubby frank appreciation post and some photos that i love where frank looks soft and squeezable and oh so bitable :)

enjoy! <3

#ive seen too many inclusions of photos from the knitting factory and i’m SICK OF IT #yes i agree knitting factory is so so good but also if you’re considering that as chubby or fat frank! it says something!#cause he’s still skinny in that!#like!!! hey!!! if you think anything other than super skinny twink is fat!!! just say that!!!!#say you don’t actually like when he was fatter!!!!#if you’re gonna make chub appreciation frank posts maybe pick pictures where hes actually bigger and just as bitable #like there is so much more to use as a chew toy #anyway maddy ily thanks for making the initial #mWAH <3 #frank iero #mcr #my chemical romance

Me: Ugh, fingering weight tops for my size take FOREVER to make, I'm just going to use up what I have and never make a fingering weight top ever again!

Also me: I want to be able to wear hand knit clothes every day in summer, and I only have five short sleeve fingering weight projects planned, which means I need to get yarn to make three more to have eight to cover laundry day every week. I Will Not Regret This.

missed seven stitches Sunday, but here we are on Monday!

had to perform knitting surgery on the blanket and I still need to fix the tension, but I did get the stitches all sorted, and have just finished skein 1 of this stripe.

gave up on k2p2 on the dishcloth on Friday evening because it takes f o r e v e r to do the switching back and forth. so now it's just extra scrubby at one end instead. but I spent some restful time this afternoon reading and knitting blind now that it's just stockinette, and you can see how much further I've gotten!

#knitting: chevron blanket #knitting: dishcloths #in my knitting era #(WOW nearly fat fingered that as knotting era. ahem.)#z
