After 118 hours, my leaf blanket is done! by Hms-chill

A video of my snake embroidery, showing how the light shifts on the scales as the piece is moved about. Working with embroidery the last couple years I knew this would be the effect I would get if I individually embroidered all the scales & thats why I chose to go the tedious route with this piece, the payoff! Hope the vid shows it alright! It’s a bit hard to capture fully.

People often look at the tags on my handmade goods and declare that my prices are outrageous. I did the math and THIS is what that handmade beanie you want for $10 ACTUALLY cost to make.

So if you see that $30 on the label, be courteous. Know that I am paying myself far, far less than minimum wage in labor ($2.22 per hour, to be exact) to even come to such a supposedly ghastly price. I can't take that $10 for a hat because no one can live on $0.37 an hour, much less sustain a business.

Handmade goods aren't overpriced, people just undervalue the hard work and years of skill artists put into them.

Honestly. This is exactly right. And if you’re fighting for 15 imagine what this would cost. Small businesses are not exempt

[headspace-hotel]

manufactured goods mass produced by horrendously exploited and underpaid workers have conditioned us to wildly undervalue handmade crafts

Brioche stitch 🖤

[vickysnest]

I think brioche stitch is what in Spanish we call the English stitch, which, even though it's done in a much simpler way, it seems to produce the same result…

Does anybody know for sure and can throw some light into this?

[craftyjulieta]

So I looked at two videos I use the second video (purple yarn) the technique is makes more sense to me

But yeah it's pretty much the same

[vickysnest]

Oh, thanks for looking it up!

But. Oh my god, that English ribbing technique is not at all what I had in mind when I mentioned the English stitch. This is (sorry the video is in Spanish, but hopefully you can identify what she's doing on the needles):

She just purls the purls and knits the knits on the row below. (That's why I said it's simpler jdhsjgkb.)

How fascinating that you can do what appears to be the same result by means of three different techniques!

[craftyjulieta]

I did see a video by wool and the gang with the same technique but it's not my favorite (and I know spanish)

Now I need to try out all the techniques and see if they look the same when I do them next to each other
