What are you working on this week? I'm crocheting a mesh grocery bag for fresh produce and knitting myself a jumper on the side.

2 2020-06-07 22:58

I have to repair my beloved patchwork plaid but I haven't found an assorted piece of textile yet. I still plan to learn to sew with a machine but that means attending a sewing class.

I'm working on a two metre long muffler with crochet stitch.

Sorry, I meant brioche stitch.

Knitting seems kinda gay.

Knitting is the absolute Chad hobby.

Brioche stitch sounds a little rude, honestly.

It's highly stretchy and soft. An ideal replacement for ribbed patterns that need some more positive ease. It's a bit tricky at first but soon becomes muscle memory, not to mention it's rather forgiving too.

(Note: If you rip a few rows of brioche and put the needles back in; you'll need to flip each yarn-over on the row. I don't know if Continental style has this problem though.)

I found a sort-of manlier stitch for you: fisherman's rib. Unravel the brioche and do that.

12 2020-06-17 07:15

I've used fisherman's rib before — it does look and feel exactly like brioche stitch, but I find brioche to be easier to work.

13 2020-06-17 11:53

Is it me or the word "brioche" seems to appear more than usually these days?

14 2020-06-18 03:58

>>13
Probably a case of Baader-Meinhof phenomenon.

>>14
Also known as Brioche Syndrome.

I'm hungry now...

Just like my anus

18 2020-06-20 02:38

Sewed a patch of heavy canvas into the bottom of my backpack. Hopefully things will stop falling out now.

19 2020-06-20 16:48

It's funny how there are 600 patterns in my Ravelry library, and yet I keep using free patterns.

20 2020-06-20 18:48

I once wrote a library to turn any image in a cross stitch tapestry model. You could choose DMC or Anchor color codes. I wanted to make a web service but I'm sure there are already plenty.

21 2020-06-20 19:08

Make one anyway. I'd be interested. Sounds like it'd be a good exercise too.

22 2020-06-21 13:00

I've been thinking about making a knitting pattern DSL in Racket for a while.

23 2020-08-29 04:49

After having to use circular needles for a while, I can say that they're overrated. Double pointed needles are easily adjustable (3, 4, 5 needles at a time) and comfortable with no need for 'magic loop' tricks. If you're scared of your stitches falling off DPNs, just use stoppers.

24 2021-07-07 23:13

I make carbon-fibre weaved kevlar

Is Ink/Stich any good?

I use a sewing machine

27 2022-06-14 06:28

Why don't knitting enthusiasts build an automated loom that is able to produce embroidery designs that are encoded in a domain-specific language?

28 2022-06-22 15:23

I'm starting to do hyperbolic crochet

29 2022-06-22 16:11

is that like when someone masturbates very fast

30 2022-06-23 00:40

"domain-specific language"
what is this, and what does it have to do with crochet?

31 2022-06-23 00:59

crocheting is a language. it's a language of garmentry

32 2022-06-23 02:20

it's a language of geometry.
sacred geometry, bro.

33 2022-06-23 03:09

i only speak dubz

34 2022-06-24 02:29
