What do I do when I don't have the right yarn for a project?
I steal threads from wool samples, twist them together, and make my own 🧶

What happens when I mess up a mend? I take it out and start again 🪡
I always take notes about where things went wrong, and subtract my messing up time from my doing-it-right time so my clients never pay for my mistakes. Sometimes things take waaaaaay longer than I think they will, but I always learn something!
Although I know how to swiss darn plain knits well (I'm teaching an intro to swiss darning workshop on 2/21 at @maydelcraft !) I got totally lost following the structure of this particular knit. It was a rib knit with a hole right in the middle of increasing rows of stitches. One of my goals this year is to get better at mending more complicated knits (like cables and rib knits and seed stitches) so this project gave me a little bit of practice towards that goal... but I still have a long way to go!
If you want me to darn your sweaters, drop in any time we’re open at @ProductionMode, 12-6pm Wednesday-Sunday, or send me an email with your questions at lucydreamsof@gmail.com 💌

The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles. Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
