AntiCraft
AntiCraft: Knitting, Beading and Stitching for the Slightly Sinister | Renee Rigdon, Zabet Stewart
1 post | 2 read
Knitting, beading and stitching projects to make - or not. Whatever. &break;&break;If you would describe your favorite crafts as "supercute" - no, let us rephrase: If the idea of handcrafting the most nauseatingly adorable plush bunny you've ever seen sets your heart atwitter - feel free to stop reading. We'll understand. Really. &break;&break;If you're still reading, you may be cynical and fed up with syrupy crafts as we are. (Huzzah!) For you and your likeminded AntiCraftspeople, we have hand-selected twenty-five projects from the most talented crafters you'll never find in the mainstream (whatever that even means). Behold: &break;&break; Creations your goody-goody little sister will roll her eyes at, including snake-motif thigh-highs and a duct-tape corset.&break;&break; Tips and sidebars to celebrate (with as much enthusiasm as any of us can muster) your delightfully dark nature, including suggested mood-enhancers (soundtracks, movies, etc.) for making each and every item.&break;&break; Basic techniques for knitting, crochet and jewelry-making virgins - complete with step-by-step photos to save you from the embarrassment of asking that annoyingly perky coworker for help. &break;&break;Join us in the AntiCraft movement - where self-expression, no matter how socially unacceptable, is given a scalpel and room to operate.

Got lots of crafting books from the library today ✨

Ft. my current knitting project, a hufflepuff scarf for a friend of mine. I can't decide if it's just a slow-to-make project or if I'm just a really slow knitter 😝

saresmoore I made a Slytherin scarf for my husband a couple of years ago and it took FOREVER. It was crochet, but I used a very light DK yarn and a small hook. Somehow I doubt it‘s just you! Also, I love that Mollie Makes book, but I‘ve yet to make anything from it. 😬 6y
queerbookreader @saresmoore I'm using a worsted weight yarn but on thin ish needles it's taking soooooo long 😭😭 I loved the Mollie Makes knitting book so I got the crochet one to see what was in it! 6y
saresmoore There is excellent use of color in the Mollie Makes Crochet book. When I first got it, my stash was mostly worsted and the patterns are largely DK. Oh, but I lied, I did make one of the blankets from the book and it turned out really pretty! 6y
NovelGirl82 Ugh! I need to learn how to knit. I‘m in dire need of half finger gloves, and can‘t find any that I like. The only ones that I found that I really liked were cashmere, so they cost a fortune! It would be so much easier if I could just make them. (Also, I could make myself a ravenclaw scarf, which I definitely need!) 6y
queerbookreader @NovelGirl82 Dooooo iiiiiit. Just kick yourself in the butt and do it. The beginning of this year I was like "bitch this is the year you are finally going to learn how to knit or so help me god" and now I can knit!! I learned from this book 6y
