Hello Bluesky, I’m back!! 🙌
2 weeks ago my little account got taken down for being spammy/fake/inauthentic… I appealed but got no answer and was locked out.
Last night I accused them of voluntary discrimination (from a different email address), and this morning I have access again so… 🤷♀️

This book just arrived and my mind is blown 🤯 🤩
It’s a French-language book about #zeroWaste #garmentSewing by @reformonsnous.com, and I love everything about it: the colors, the diverse models, the designs, the cutting layouts, the wordplay…
Will take it slowly and start planning my first piece!

It fits! 🙌
This is the #noviceSweater by Petite Knit, made in sizes XS/S.
I used black superwash merino from a frogged (abandoned) project, held together with a strand of silk mohair.
Collar modified to a turtleneck, and body/sleeves knitted shorter to account for superwash growth.

What’s more luxurious than hand-knit, made-to-measure socks?
Hand-mended socks 😊
Work in (very slow) progress, mending with Swiss darning / duplicate stitch.
I made these 2 years ago and kept some of the yarn for mending (the mended gauge is looser so looks bigger).

My body measurements have changed a lot since my first pair of #HeleneJeans in 2022, so I'm finally going to use this emerald green corduroy to make a new pair.
Really not looking forward to the fitting part though – I hate the process but I need adjustments on all sewing patterns.

Blocking in progress!
I knitted this slightly shorter on purpose, because apparently superwash yarn grows instead of shrinking.
But despite my washed/dried swatch, I was a bit worried that the silk mohair might somehow make it shrink instead!
All good so far, it grew 5cm longer.

I made a starter pack for other sewists migrating over from meta-based apps. Includes home sewists, independent pattern designers, and some fabric merchants. If you have adds, please share them with me so we can grow the list!

Kia ora Bluesky 😊
I’m Hinerangi, I like making things and sharing my progress (especially mistakes and failures along the way).
Currently knitting a new Novice Sweater in black merino with a strand of silk mohair. Went figuratively bald doing that sleeve underarm without gaps 😅
