How do I keep my stitches from shifting around (?) when washing out Fabri-Solvy? It's not a huge difference, but it's bothering me that things are shaped differently after a wash/air dry.1yr ⋅ mickier ⋅ r/Embroidery
My friend was going to throw away a torn sheet, so I rescued it, made it into yarn, and crocheted myself a basket! I added a bit of color with rags pilfered from my mom's bin. I'm so happy with how it turned out (:4yr ⋅ mickier ⋅ r/ZeroWaste
Some clothes I made for my friend's kids, all from salvaged materials. The only thing I used that wasn't formerly part of something else is thread. Details in comments!5yr ⋅ mickier ⋅ r/ZeroWaste
Ran out of yarn a few rows short, but it has finally been restocked. We have a sweater!5yr ⋅ mickier ⋅ r/crochet
Made for my friend, from some ripped jeans and a broken clothes hanger. I love when people bring ruined things to me instead of throwing them away (:4yr ⋅ mickier ⋅ r/ZeroWaste
I save all my yarn scraps, whether they're 10 feet or just a little bit of fuzz, then I sort out the pieces that are long enough to use and make plushies with them. The really short pieces go inside to make up the stuffing (:5yr ⋅ mickier ⋅ r/ZeroWaste
Old pillowcase -> Set of reusable tissues. Now I can cry myself to sleep waste-free (-:5yr ⋅ mickier ⋅ r/ZeroWaste
I finally found some not-too-ugly foam slides (in my size!!!) at the thrift store, but they make a weirdo squelching noise when I walk because my feet suction onto them 😅 Any suggestions for making them shut up?2yr ⋅ mickier ⋅ r/Frugal
Well, I learned that I don't like colorwork, but it's for a two-year-old, so.... As long as she can tell it's a cat, I'm happy (:5yr ⋅ mickier ⋅ r/crochet
I made my dad a Polish flag scarf to wear on his trip, and this couple he met in a bar fell in love with it. It was his last night there anyway, so he gave it to them. I'm so excited that someone 5000 miles away is enjoying my FO!5yr ⋅ mickier ⋅ r/knitting
My grandma's in assisted living, and I noticed the sign on her door is just a piece of paper. Thought she deserved something nicer (:5yr ⋅ mickier ⋅ r/crochet
My friend was throwing out this dirty, peeling drawer organizer, so I stole it (plus a few other trash items) and made it into a thread shelf (: More info in comments!4yr ⋅ mickier ⋅ r/ZeroWaste
Was scrolling through r/nosleep when I happened across this title, and instinctively glanced at the clock to see what time it was.3yr ⋅ mickier ⋅ r/oddlyterrifying
Newest insomnia project, worked up last night because I couldn't sleep. I don't know what I'm going to do with it, but I thought it looked nice (:5yr ⋅ mickier ⋅ r/crochet
We post the WiFi info inside this cabinet door so everyone knows where to find it. It's supposed to stay there. I put up a new one after it got stolen for the billionth time, and not even 6 hours later......5yr ⋅ mickier ⋅ r/mildlyinfuriating
Trying a bubble stitch hat for an Xmas gift, and it's a perfect fit for the recipient......'s 2-year-old daughter. See comments for details.5yr ⋅ mickier ⋅ r/knitting
My first stuffed animal, made at age 12, vs. my most recent one. 10 years and a switch from knitting to crochet between the two!5yr ⋅ mickier ⋅ r/crochet
How do you guys pick your battles? I work hard to only buy secondhand, but if I want something specific and can only find it online, it's almost always more expensive than buying it new. I pay up for the used item 95% of the time, but it cuts into my budget for other things.1yr ⋅ mickier ⋅ r/ZeroWaste
I made a knitting needle organizer! If I like it, I'll make a real one out of something other than cardboard (:5yr ⋅ mickier ⋅ r/knitting
Anyone know where I can find more patterns for continuous motifs like this one? More info and source in comments!5yr ⋅ mickier ⋅ r/crochet
My little plant had one leaf turn very shiny, soft, and glossy for a day. It's back to normal now, but I'm wondering what caused it to do that. It's not a new leaf, so what the heck!? Should I be concerned???3yr ⋅ mickier ⋅ r/plantclinic
