the subversive stitch knitting podcast episode one ! | summer knitting, autumn plans & british wool
มุมมอง 3182 ปีที่แล้ว
hello !!!!! ... after posting this i decided to be called the subversive stitch... sorry about any confusion ! anyway have a sweet new year ! everything mentioned below : a note about captions - i think its great when people make accurate non auto generated captions for their videos so their creations are more accessible ! but the work of editing captions myself i find quite hard, and generally...
This video was recommended to me in my feed and I'm so glad it was! So often these types of videos I see on my feed are just "What I sew/knit/crochet" so I really like this take on it of like "here is EVERYTHING I bought into my life this year". It really got me thinking! As someone who considers themselves quite eco concious e.g. I try to only shop second hand etc, I still didn't realise how much I was bringing into my life even from second hand. So thank you so much for this video! It's definitely been a eureka moment for me and started a shift in how I think about my consumption further.
that's so great to hear!! im glad it was thought provoking! & i hope ur relationship to consumption gets more intentional & nourishing (for u & the planet) in 2025 💚💚
NETTLE FIBERS 💚
right !! i love that u can use nettle in stuff and like make the fibre be soft & useful rather than a bit of a menace that can sting u !!
like channel,and you got that beautiful smile friendly request
the black dyed shirt and how the white trim was preserved is so cute !! i have so many long sleeved shirts i’ve cropped so that part was funny to me. loved the way you described the significance of green💚🌿
yes!! i love it sm tbh !! lol, that is funny. 💚🍏🍃
this is so cute!
butch femme pumpkin farmers go goth??!! excited to see if the experiment works 🖤🎃
it didnt rly work lol... i just dyed the fabric completely black!! i guess i should have thought abt it more and then realised that would happen but i'll stll use the fabric so it shld be okay ! &the other thingsi dyed were waaaay more successful !
💕✨💕✨👍
I'm watching this a year later as I cast on my Bub Bonnet. Sending sore wrist solidarity to past you!
aww ! i hope your bonnet & wrists are going well :)
actual spinster actually spinning!!! yay for the butch-femme pumpkin farmers (aka communist pumpkin farmers) 🧡🤍🩷
yes haha !!! i do feel like maybe i should have put my textile stuff on actual spinster bc it's yet more proof im an actual spinster !! lol 🧡🤍
these are all so pretty😍reminds me of being taught to spin when i was a kid because waldorf education lol, makes me want to dig out the spindle, and i think i still have some teeny balls of wobbly yarn i spun🥺
!! thats so cute!!! & ty :) i am like sooo happy with them even if they are very imperfect haha
@@subversive_stitch_knitting yess i love the texture and depth of the unevenness of it!! it’s cool
❣️♥️
i love the colors of the dress!! good luck finding the ideal beige underlayer. i’m so sorry people were/are terrible with the bonnet, ugh. it’s very cute and fun. i’m glad you’re developing strategies to take care of your hands/wrists! love what you said at the end about creative forces and the WIND! 🧶💨
i rly hoped u had seen this bc ur comments r my fave tbh !!! tysm 💕💕 yess!!! lets create a better world !!!
@@subversive_stitch_knitting this is so sweet!! yes it was great to watch before i went to a meeting of my crafting group 💞
💋❤️🔥♥️
i love that deep purple color for that blouse for your mum!
yes it’s gorgeous - I knit my capulet blouse in the exactly same colour !
oh lovely! just came back to finish the video and the mending bits were so nice, i really like the plans for those garments
Do you have any advice for how to make a headkerchief like the one you're wearing? I love it!
i cant quite remember how i did it tbh but i think i cast on enough stitches that would easily wrap around my head including tying it there amd then every other row cast off a stitch at the beginning and end of the row & just like did yarn over & knit 2 togthers whenever i felt like it..... idk if thats super helpful but i hope so ! <3
Ty that does help!
the HEN i will make her stat
do !!!! they are rly cute n great!!!
Also your challahs are looking good! I’m converting as well and want to start baking my own too!! :)
!! no way, mazel tov !! &good luck with the challah making !!
The purple horned bonnet with the blue lip combo was super lovely!! Loved this vlog, especially the nature footage❤️🔥🪡
aww ty !! im so glad you enjoyed it :) ❤
all the outfits and knitting were so cute! and the baked goods looked so nice. i can’t remember a lot more off the top of my head that i wanted to say as i watched but your videos are always so comforting to watch/listen to 💓🧶
aww ty !! im so glad you feel like that :)) ❤❤❤❤❤
Good Good very beautiful ❤💐💐🌹🔔
i have so many thoughts i hope i can remember them all hehe. all your creations are lovely, but that purple shirt is especially impressive to me and looks so good on you! also that lavender and pale green top with the tank and skirt in those same colors was such a wonderful outfit, very springtime feeling. i’ve been progressing on my crochet learning endeavor and this was very inspiring, and also makes me want to learn to knit other stitches. understanding how to make clothes from yarn is so intimidating to me because patterns i’ve seen seem to revolve so much around counting stitches and rows and abbreviations that are baffling to my untrained brain 😂 but i am excited to learn more. i will definitely check out the patterns and people you referenced. lastly i loved hearing you talk about marxist feminist textile history and if you ever wanted to share more about that i would be all ears! was thinking about what the women in my family generations ago in poland might’ve knitted as you wrapped up your thoughts, and i love thinking of textile craft as being subversive and revolutionary
aww tysm!! im glad ur making progress! & i believe in u figuring more out ! im so glad u enjoyed that, i love to speak & think about it so i will definitely talk more about it as i go! same 🥰 i do think it can also be repressive & awful but it has such revolutionary + exciting potential imo !! thx for watching ❤❤
@@subversive_stitch_knitting thank you that’s so sweet 🥰 a branch of my local library is having a yarn sale this week so i am going to check that out and am excited. i definitely get what you mean re: repressive and yes revolutionary potential, i want to make some very lesbian clothes hahaha
@@andrealianne98 a yarn sale !!!! that's so exciting... making lesbian clothes is the whole reason i make things lmao 💜🧡💖
this was lovely! listened while crocheting a blanket. my favourite colour is also red and I also never wear trousers. 😍
we are soul mates!! glad to have kept you company 🥰❤
Omg omg so excited about this channel!!!!!
😅 yay im glad !!! 💖💖💖
