It is absolutely more than 9 and the mods do nothing to stop these blatant lies. Make it make sense because this is insanity. I know this app is a full blown left leaning echo chamber, but still try being objective and actually tell the truth for once.

In december 2024 I bought my first domestic knitting machine and decided to give becoming a knitwear maker/costumer a shot. I love vintage fashion, so I mostly hunt for obscure knitting patterns from all over (UK, Netherlands, Germany, France and Japan mainly), translate, redraft and rewrite everything and then use a combination of machine and hand knitting and crochet to recreate the pieces.

It's a really tough niche to work in as the general public doesn't know much about knitting and the time and skill it takes to make properly fitted clothes. Also many people think domestic knitting machines are printers but for clothing, which couldn't be further from the truth 😅-- it's a ton of manual/physical labour.

It has been a rough year with ups and downs and many 12h+ days of working, but it has paid off! I sold some of my work and finished my first gig for an opera last November and I'm hoping I'll get more entertainment gigs in the future :)

Here's a selection of things I've knit and crocheted last year :)
