i knit for friends a lot and it's maybe more for me than it is them so ive never fallen under the boyfriend (gf? 🏳️‍🌈) sweater curse or whatever. but i woke up at 6:45 to do a kitchener stitch bind off for someone and im never letting her forget it

#i fucking hate the kitchener stitch bind off but i mean it gives a really good finish #i wanted to get the bind off done before logging into work but like no.... forgot this takes a million years #knitting diary

This gray sweater is so cute but it’s my least worn sweater which makes me feel a little bad because aesthetically I love it. Today I realized the actual reason for this is that it’s probably the warmest sweater I own which is honestly real weird to me given how little of my body it technically covers??? By the time I officially finished this last year— by which I mean sewed on the extra button it needed— it was much too warm for any wool sweater but this fall any time I put it on I’d go “cute!” And then be too warm and remove it.

Anyway in 35 degree weather— 28 with windchill— the sweater and scarf are completely warm and comfortable. If it was sunny and not windy I probably would not need the scarf. I think the warmth must be a combination of gage and those big bell sleeves? I would assume it’s the super bulky yarn but I don’t find my pink super bulky sweater too warm to wear indoors in the winter.

The first Llama wool sock is finished and it's a fricken disaster. You'd think an experienced, skilled knitted such as myself would be past the point of losing 14 whole stitches in the middle of a project and you would be wrong.

A Reintroduction

Hello to all the people who never got around to unfollowing me, and Hello World!

This is me! Look at me, my blog title is a pun! You see? Because I am a singer and a Singer is also a brand of sewing machine? Do you get it? I don’t own a Singer machine, though, unfortunately.

I’m a 26-year-old opera singer who sews and knits. I have an eclectic sense of style ranging from ren faire to modern hippie to historical. I’m trying to make all of my own clothes and replace all of my bras with corsets and stays. We’ll see if that ever actually happens.

I thought about making a new blog for this project but decided I should honor past me by overhauling my old blog, formerly a-bag-of-cats.

From this point forward, this blog is a sewing diary. If you’re not interested in seeing my sewing process and reading walls of text, you can unfollow now. :)

need to start fucking around and designing my own stuff but aaugh. who has the time. or the money for yarn

#like freestyling knitwear is really fun but i never do it cause im always busy turning out actual garments #but i scroll past these really creative designs and techniques and i want to do that but i wont build the skills unless i fuck around #i feel like im entering level two somehow. and ive been seeing a lot of alt designs that are v inspiring #like......why do i have to keep knitting like a white scandanavian mother of four when i can do whatever i want #also this means i need to learn to crochet. if im doing alt designs i need to learn to do all that #knitting diary
