The Knitting Hermit

I love to work with my hands, needles to say knitting came national. However, I still have a lot to learn. If you like what you see, let me know! I take request and suggestions so if there is anything you want to see me try, the AskBox is always Open!

Goblin diy idea

If you can crochet or want to learn this is a very easy project, it only uses a magic circle, single crochet, and slip stitch.

I made this one last night

Tiny backpack

It has straps that you can definitely slip on a belt

It's good for holding things like rocks or whatever you want/find

This is the tutorial I followed I hope you enjoy :)

Resources for Mending Clothes

We toss out over 80 pounds of textiles each year. These textiles are often made of plastic materials (polyester, nylon), made in unethical conditions, dyed with harsh dyes that often get put into the rivers, etc. Even a single cotton shirt releases carbon emissions and uses tons of water. 

So the best thing to prevent the unsustainable growth of the fashion industry is to make sure that your clothing lasts as long as possible. To do so, mending clothing is a must. So here are some resources to help you learn how to do various things, such as sewing a button, to tailoring clothes, or even upcycling old clothing into new styles. 

* How to sew on three different types of button

* How to hand sew on a patch on a torn pair of jeans

* How to sew up a hole in an old shirt

* How to sew a simple T-shirt

* How to upcycle old clothing into new clothing

* More upcycle and sewing techniques

* How to repair a damaged sock

* How to do an invisible stitch

* 3 different stitches to work with for different results

* How to make a T-shirt smaller so it fits you better

* How to make repairs to your shoes

These are just a few of the things that you can do in order to make sure that your clothing lasts for a long time. Nobody wants to keep buying new clothing, as it is expensive and wasteful. 

So making alterations to your clothing, or fixing small holes hen you see them can be hugely beneficial to your wallet, to garment workers, and to the environment in the long term.

it’s really strange to see things that used to be normal and are now revolutionary. because mending, darning, reattaching buttons, refashioning garments, etc. used to be as everyday as breathing

strange, but so, so good

I FINISHED THE SWEATER!!

it took me three weeks and a day. it came out longer than i thought because i never trust the patterns to account for how tall i am and i added inches to the sleeves and bottom. the sleeves are like, silly long, but that’s okay because usually i don’t have gloves so i can hide in them and push them up otherwise.

!!!!! i want to make more yoke sweaters.
