You can buy abortion pills online. Right now. In all 50 states. Even if you're not pregnant. If you can't afford them, there are resources to help you pay for them. The folks at Aid Access will help you. Their website is aidaccess.org. The folks at Plan C will also help you. Their website is plancpills.org. I ordered abortion pills earlier this week, because if I get pregnant, I want an abortion. And this country might not let me have one. So I want to have abortion pills on hand in case I get pregnant (they last for several years, [...]

Did I spend the weekend sewing? Yup, yup I did. And we all know what the first step in sewing is right? No, not picking a pattern. No, not buying fabric. No, not even washing & ironing fabric (my petition to change the name from 'sewing' to 'advanced ironing with occasional stabbing' remains active). No, clearly the most important thing is to knit yourself a spool of thread to use as a pin cushion. That's my theory & I'm sticking to it. This is also one of the most marvelous of things, an excuse to use magnets in your knitting [...]

I did this on instagram stories last weekend, & when I said something about how I should probably stop bombarding unsuspecting knitters with the ongoing saga of What Yard Trash Will I Shove In Jars This Week, a whole bunch of folks said they actually like it. So, since I'm trying to do less work stuff & more life stuff this summer (while still feeding the gaping maw of the content machine that rules our lives), I figure cool, perhaps weekends are for life stuff instead of work stuff. Right now, that means chive vinegar (plus it's gorgeous). So, this [...]

Nope. I'm fine. I'm not completely undone by something so achingly simple that it should amuse no one, least of all me. Nope. Not at ALL. Totally in control of myself and liking this only the reasonable and normal amount. Nothing to see here.⁠ ⁠ [Begin Suuuuuuuper Seeeeeeeeecret transmission for those of you who actually read the caption...though to be fair, it's the same as yesterday's, so if you read it then, you're officially excused and can go get on with your Friday (I hope there's some lemonade in there somewhere)]⁠ ⁠ So, later this summer, as part of the [...]

Yup. Yup I like where this is going. I like it rather a lot. I seem to like basically anything that lets me doodle on my yarn. One of these days I'm going to just buy some markers and...have an incident. But for now, for now we do it with yarn.⁠ ⁠ [Begin Suuuuuuuper Seeeeeeeeecret transmission for those of you who actually read the whole post]⁠ ⁠ So, later this summer, as part of the new business name/shiny spiffy patreon thing, I'm taking down *MOST* of my existing patterns. A handful will come back under the new setup, but most [...]

Yes, I do realize the unspeakable absurdity of complaining about stockinette yesterday and then showing you a picture of...wait for it...yet more stockinette (now with three tiny lines of also stockinette just in a slightly different color). It will only get worse when I admit that I am rather enjoying what's happening here. Or rather, what's about to happen here. Because this is just about to do something that will delight me beyond all reason. I am nothing if not mercurial. Now if you'll excuse me, I need make this...do a thing.

I remain unspeakably enamored with the whole turned hem thing. I mean, it's not enough to make me forego my longstanding feud with stockinette (why, why is a fabric that's so pretty to look at and so practical in projects so dead ass boring to knit? Does it not realize that this leaves me susceptible to distraction from literally any passing diversion? I've gotten distracted from stockinette by a falling leaf and then had to wander off and sit with the trees for a bit for some much needed stimulation. Yes it's noisy in my head, why do you ask?). [...]

Yup. That's pleasantly tidy and organized and uniform. There's a chance I'll like it even better if I sort of...interlock...the spaces between the columns of embroidery. So I'll probably at least try that (what did I say about really really really liking to explore variations, this is why I really need to get the patreon up and running).⁠ So don't be surprised if you see that here shortly.⁠ And just wow oh wow is coloring on your knitting like this more fun than it has any right to be. It lets you do really really really mellow knitting (so. much. [...]

Yeah yeah, I got distracted by the great stash reorganization project (yes, again, no, I don't know why, yes, I'm sure it will happen again, no, I do not repent my scandalous ways), which you can find on instagram should you be so inclined.⁠ But, while all that was going on, the hat was also getting finalized!⁠ I decided I liked the embroidery going all the way around the hat, a little more than half way up. And that I liked it all done with the orange. I'm rather taken with it!
