I have been doing the ribbing on my socks with cheap aluminum needles and it is SAD. The tips are so dull. I love the karbonz I was gifted but I can’t afford more full price right now.
I’m looking for size 2mm and 2.25mm if anyone is willing to part with them for ~$10 each.
Who are your favorite sewing/crafting/fiber youtubers who are also people of color?
I find it frustrating when I look through a recommendations thread and there’s not a single person of color mentioned beyond coolirpa and withwendy (excellent accounts, but they’ve been in the game for so long and there seems to be a new white person gaining traction every week).
Recently I’ve watched
Pearly Mades: knitting and quilting with vloggy intermissions
iamEgypt: more thrifting than sewing (I can’t vouch for those I didn’t watch them) but the sewing videos are fun
V2 Creates: makes fun trendy clothes sometimes using secondhand materials
Sew Quaint: I made booty shorts following one of her videos. The instructions for drafting the pattern were concise and got me the PERF results
