Kad, you can always check thrift stores for stuff to tie dye. :3

Yeah....tbh, the thrift stores here are pretty skeevy and almost never have anything good. Unlike bigger areas where you can ocassionally score rarely worn designer labels or even just rarely worn clothes from this decade, the thrift shops here features all the worst fashion mistakes from the 70s to the late 90s.
My best score was 2 skirts. 5 years ago.

Aw ;u; Besides Goodwill there's a couple here, I've only been to one and it's alright. I don't go often but when I do sometimes I find stuff.

We have 1 goodwill and 1 salvation army here. If you are looking for outdated shoes that are 1 wear away from falling apart or half-burned candles, I can hook you up.

Now only 4 more wedge sections until it's done! Might actually finish it either tonight or tomorrow.

Lol. It just looks like a mess thougb because of how it is on the loom at the moment though. Hopefully it'll look better off the loom. XD

It looks way better than my own loom knitting ^^ Congrats on being almost finished!

Kaderin Triste 06-29-2019 12:32 PM

Well, I have been loom knitting for 9ish years...so give it time and you'll get there.
And thank you!

Death by Mirrors 07-01-2019 03:18 AM

True, that. I've been crocheting for a bit over a year now, and it already looks a lot better than when I started. With the right yarn, of course. Things always tend to look more awesome in cotton than acrylic. What's your favorite yarn type to work with? Or do you use whatever you have at the moment?

Kaderin Triste 07-01-2019 04:20 AM

I generally go with acrylic or acrylic/wool blends. Depends on the project sometimes though.

trystan830 07-01-2019 12:23 PM

jumping in....i used to prefer acrylic over cotton because there was more give to the acrylic. now, though, as long as the yarn is soft, not scratchy, and doesn't shed, i'm not particular what kind of fiber it is.

Kaderin Triste 07-08-2019 07:00 PM

Woo! My super lazy ass still hasn't finished that shawl! But now only 2 more wedge sections to go. XD

Also, picked up some cute and fun fabrics, but idk what I want to use them for yet...

So I found out the thrift store I liked to go to closed back in February. ;u; And now I'm sad. </3

Unicorn kitties!! XD <3

Kaderin Triste 07-08-2019 08:54 PM

Might attempt a skirt or something with the unikitty fabric. Or maybe an apron.

Stabbsworth 07-09-2019 01:27 PM

ooh, skirts. that'd be neat.

Kaderin Triste 07-09-2019 05:03 PM

Oh shit, I wonder if I could do a skirt like this with the sharks and Jaws fabrics...

Death by Mirrors 07-16-2019 05:18 PM

Seriously tempted to steal the shark fabric ^^

Kaderin Triste 07-18-2019 02:41 PM

Also bought the last of this one...
