Comment on YSK that hand sewing is a stupid cheap hobby to get into and reduces your impact on the environment

knitting too. Knit patches on sweaters / cardigan are silly easy to do and can often look pretty badass.
also careful. these hobbies are cheap but cozy an ADDICTING. 😂

I have always wanted to learn to knit, how cool would it be to make sweaters?!

I knit sweaters. I don’t like knitting socks, I don’t wear hats, and so sweaters it is. I get lots of compliments on them and when people find out I knit them myself, they’re always pretty astonished.

Turning the gusset is actual witchcraft. I’ve made a cardigan, but never a sock.

Depends on the kind of gusset, there are easier techniques but they might mess up the wool pattern (like if you use one with stripes for example) and there are ones that are seamless, but a little more difficult.
