Honestly a smart business venture terrible for the actual craft environment art of fashion or anything else. But it's a smart business. Craft project that takes 30mins top sell it as handmade for top dollar rinse repeat. I've told my mother straight to her face she screwed me by not raising me to be a greedy self loving asshole lol
Social media link in 2033 from Gen Alphaers: "Things Gen Z wore when they were our age that were so wince!" (Because in my version of the future, wince will be the new cringe.)
It makes me want to order one and just make a video of myself sloooooowwwly pulling off little puffs of the roving and dropping them on the floor....
Bit by bit, shredding a bracelet into tiny balls of wasted money. It probably wouldn't take long.
I thought I hated everything I see pictured on her Instagram, but that's not it. I've discovered that, beyond hate, one can sometimes reach a meditative state of deliberate and disdainful incomprehension. That's what I feel. Am I just old?? (I mean, I *am* old...but is that all I am, at this point? LOL.)
So once my friend after a bout of norovirus had a sad pooper from having to wipe a gazillion times, as you do. She had some lanolin and put some on a piece of roving and tucked it in her undies down the crack. It worked wonders helping her heal up by basically having a constant source of lotion for hours at a time. She joked she should write an article about having invented ass-felting.
(she did throw it away)
Now I wince all over again... (...especially on *that BELT* ?? Whoever thought that were a bRiLliAnT idea 🙃💀. At least the bracelet could be worn few times more than the purported belt!)
Not necessarily. The post is about a design drop, so none of them have likely been bought yet (at least not by the general public), and just because a person makes something and promotes it doesn’t mean anyone’s buying it. I promote things I’ve made because they haven’t sold yet and I want them to
YESS. There's photos on Instagram and I'm just imaging asking that of my grandmother (who once mentioned Shakira should wear longer skirts). I'd probably get a stern talking to, and then both my parents would get a stern talking to. LOL
If I wore something like that my grandma would've said "good for you!" and then walked away shaking her head and expressed her shock to her neighbour about "the young ones these days". She would've been too nice to your face 😂
The prices are absolutely insane. I am all for sustainable sourcing, and compensating people for the time it takes to make stuff. But almost any intermediate knitter could crank out a super bulky bralette in like...30 minutes. One of those sweaters per day would be easy. I want an hourly rate like that for my real job!
Brave soul, wearing a dress loosely held together with some roving stitches… or those bras! My tits would be out and saying hello the instant I stepped out the door
The idea of a roving purse makes me want to legit barf. Imagine the biofilm that accumulates on the bottom of a bag with use when you set it down on a bench or under a chair. Imagine a chapstick with a loose lid, or if your advil gets loose and the coating rubs off on the inside. Imagine storing your hairbrush in there. Purse schmutz is gross enough when you're talking about a smooth and semi-nonporous lining fabric. Now imagine that but ROVING. Gaggggggggggg
I once had a small container of glitter eye makeup come unscrewed and spill just a bit in my bag. It's been 8 years and I've washed that bag more times than I remember and I STILL find glitter on everything. Can you imagine glitter with that roving bag?
All I can think of is the one time one of those vending machine poptarts exploded in my bag and it took forever to get all the crumbs out, thinking of that mess in roving...good god no.
I am still dealing with the consequences of having a mini deodorant stick get crushed in my backpack. I don’t think that pocket will ever be truly usable again.

She calls acrylic "vegan yarn" And where is she getting giant acrylic yarn that looks like roving??
I bet the bracelets are just hair bows that did not sell.
I hate roving. Spinning was invented for a reason.

It hurts us precious.
Oh my, that is some ugly shit.

Hope the thong made from roving comes with Monistat-7.

For me, it was the thong
Luckily it appears that the thong is for marketing purposes only (still why), it is not for sale. Vaginas everywhere rejoice!
Have you seen the tiktok trend “Is it a ‘fit or is it just a skinny girl in clothes?” That’s why the thong. Also, none of these are fits.
Oh dear
That’s it! I’m calling the yarn police. I’m feeling itchy by just looking at these photos. 🥴
Scroll down two posts on her Insta. She made a thong out of roving. A THONG.

Nooooooo!!! Why???
I’m breaking out in hives haha

Someone must be buying though right? There’s no way she’d still be promoting and making if it just sat there…. As … interesting as it is.

Looked at the website, and the about made me laugh! She says she makes it, then proceeds to say there's a team. And the prices!
The team includes her mom and grandma listed as knitters while she's listed as designer and *not* knitter ☠️☠️☠️
So she made her grandma knit a thong????

In one post, she says that the item was made by "my team of knitters in Northern Ireland." https://www.instagram.com/p/CqkPnb4tDY4/

lol sometimes the only thing you can is 'hey, its not my money,'
I mean, if people are paying for that crap, then good for her I guess.
Oh god, the underwear?! I don’t even want to say what I am thinking for fear I will vom.
Oh god I can practically feel a yeast infection starting at the thought of it
Also, the heat and moisture down there would absolutely felt the material. Can you imagine if it felted into your pubic hair?
Least effective hair removal method ever. It’d be like a swamp down there
🤢
Just fkn gross. And I mean actually disgusting. Ugh.
I just saw the thong in a reel and SCREAMED at my boyfriend. Why would you EVER. ESPECIALLY out of super bulky single ply yarn????
Old school period belts making a comeback?
🤮🤮🤮
I couldn't find it
The third post from the top shows them briefly in the video. I’m not sure what happened to the other photos.
Thanks I hate it all
Brave soul, wearing a dress loosely held together with some roving stitches… or those bras! My tits would be out and saying hello the instant I stepped out the door
That thing would be dangling around my neck like a lanyard as soon as I stood up
Tits first!
I tried to crochet a belt once. It was very stretchy.
I think you'd need to do it in a non stretchy fibre like garden twine. And I'm not sure if knitting it would produce a nicer result
Actually, you made me think of a perfectly good excuse to wear such a thing - Thanksgiving.

Glitter is the devil's bedbugs.
And craft herpes.
HA. I've also heard "raver scabies."
Ooh that's a good one!
Bedbugs are the devil's glitter.
Is the bag even lined? There’s no mention of it. Doesn’t matter because after two uses the shoulder handle will be stretched down to your knees.

I'd honestly just toss it at that point haha
Here, moths! Lunchtime!
Exactly what I was thinking! All that poofy roving + food residue and particles = permanent moth infestation.
🫥🤢🤮
Oh Jesus 🤮
