Hi everyone. My name is Nina. I love sewing and knitting. Welcome to our still-small family!))

I use all these recommendations, but I want to add that if you plan to do this craft for a long time and make more than one project, it's better to buy everything from wholesale websites or stores. The price is signif...

There is also the point that wool fabrics themselves are divided into types. I was surprised to learn that wool can be used for blouses, but it all depends on the type. For blouses and some dresses, worsted or combed-...

I have heard that each type of felting wool needs a suitable needle. Is that true? For some reason I think the needle size depends on the size of the item. Which needle do you use?

In the photo, the knot seems unreliable; if it shifts or wobbles a little (and if there are cats in the house, the probability is very high) - the structure will collapse. I think it's better to use knot weaving. Here...

My sister saw this method online the other day and assigned tasks to everyone. Dad had to hammer in the nails, Mom had to share some yarn, and I had to make a drawing so Dad would know where to hammer. Usually, she do...

Yes, faux leather is a tricky thing in general. There's expensive bad stuff, cheap good stuff, and vice versa! To choose a decent one, you just have to compare dozens of options. But it's better, of course, to choose ...

At one point I also had concerns about heavy hair shedding, and a trichologist mentioned a similar vitamin-shampoo mixture. I called it a "shake before use" mixture because it needs shaking. [Editor's safety note: Thi...

I have a strange item - reversible jeans. I was surprised when I first saw them too. In principle, the cut is standard, but all the seams are flat-felled. If you're interested, I can take photos of the seams on my jea...

This is very interesting! I've been embroidering for a long time and have never heard of anything like this. Is it comfortable to embroider with two hands? Don't the edges of the hoop get in the way? Because it's hard...

Half-wool. It shrinks less and doesn't pill. I pick it in gray shades — for the sweater and socks marled yarn works fine, but the hat is better solid-colored. Tell me, does half-wool knit up very bulky?

Oh yes, getting a good photo can be really difficult. I made myself a tiny light box of sorts: I covered the corner of the windowsill with sheets of white poster board. The main thing is to keep the windows perfectly ...

There is water-soluble canvas. Why suffer and experiment with all sorts of dyes, not knowing if it will work or if you'll ruin the shirt? Water-soluble canvas attaches to any fabric and washes off after laundering. It...

I don't think there'll be much difference. What I love about angora is the thermos effect: if it's warm outside, the hat won't feel hot, and vice versa. Marled yarn keeps you warm well too. My girls have transitional-...

How do you even get your husbands and kids to wear a hat??? That's a real problem for me. Everything bothers them and feels itchy, even acrylic. They pull up their hood around the corner from home and carry my knitted...

Angora is definitely better for winter, marled yarn will be thinner, but pieces knit from marled yarn come out neater. Though if you do a double knit (meaning two layers of fabric), that works great for our winters. A...

Yes, girls, the main thing is not to rush and everything will work out. Just like with any new idea, you just need to make a few mistakes, and then you'll do everything right. It's great that there are people who shar...

I think you should look through the Alize yarn lineup — they have everything: angora, wool, marled yarn. And it's not too expensive either. So which is better to go with, angora or marled yarn? I feel like wool would ...

The last photo is my dream, it made me drool and my hands shake. To each their own, but for me, it's threads, threads, threads. So beautiful. For now, it's just a box hiding in the nightstand of my Chaika, where all m...

Could you tell me, do your eyes get tired from the flickering light? It's just that I don't always have time to "create" during the day in normal lighting, and in the evening, when my eyes are already tired, I'm afrai...

Once, while knitting a sweater with a peacock pattern using 15 balls of yarn, I left the room where my cat was sleeping peacefully for 5 minutes. During that time, she turned the balls into one big tangled mess; your ...

Yes, a familiar problem. Especially with jacquard knitting. 😳 But there are no unsolvable problems! There are ready-made yarn separator options. And the "necessity is the mother of invention" options like a colander o...
