I have a pattern that reads “make sure you are working your skips in this round” on some rounds. On the rounds before these there are a few sk ch sp/sk next st but what could it mean by working skips? So far I’ve just been skipping stitches as stated.
These yellow silk breeches were technically my last project of 2022, but as soon as I finished them I realized I’d made the fall a couple centimetres too high and I needed to shorten it and redo the buttonholes on the corners.
It was an easy alteration that only took a few hours, so naturally I put it off for 6 months.
I still need to make a couple of minor changes to my pattern to make it more accurate to late 18th century breeches, but I changed some stuff before sewing this version up, so it’s much closer than it was before.
So! There are five new designs up on Ravelry for June. This is the most I’ve published in June, and possibly in any month. They’ve also done fairly well, with maybe one feeling like a flop (without actually being a complete flop; just not appealing as broadly as I’d hoped). They are all also designs I like pretty well, personally! It’s nice.
(Fellas, is it weird to acknowledge that you are very grateful for all the pattern purchases, project pages, and reblogs/links? Because I am, and I just realized while setting up ads for next month that I haven’t done that in a long time—it’s all been word-of-mouth/reblogs/people I don’t even know putting up enticing project pages on Ravelry, leading to clicks/time spent on page/etc. that eventually turn into more and more people seeing the design. So, thanks for that, because I am pretty sure that pattern sales simply do not happen without the intangible support, too.)
Trying to get the overfilled donuts out of the pan did not go well but they taste and have the consistency of good, fudgy brownies so I’m not even mad about it 😂
Ohoho look at how nice the others came out, though 👌🍩😁
I overfilled a few on the first pan but the second look good 👍 I have to wait for them to completely cool before I can glaze and add sprinkles. They smell so good! 😁🍩
