My phone decided it's tired of being a phone (I hear you buddy, I'm tired of being a human) & will instead be an expensive & not very functional paperweight. I'm working a fix, but expect I'll be less around for a while on spaces like instagram and twitter and ravelry. Email always has been and still remains the most reliable way to find me!

Let's do a little giveaway! I've got a spare skein of each of the lovely yarns from Gauge Dye Works that I used for my Stochastic pattern, and I want to send them out to new homes!⁠ ⁠ Stochastic a fun little pattern where you can either put together your own yarn combos (there's oodles of info on how in the pattern, don't worry, it's not hard) or you can use Clever Yarn That Knows Secret Tricks and does the work for you (that's what the lovely Gauge Dye Works made for us). All the color change bits are all [...]

Sigh. This. Again. And, once again, I shall simply be transcribing the twitter thread with any truly egregious typos corrected and links/photos added in as needed. Because the format of tweets and the format of blog posts are slightly different and trying to jam one into the format of the other is a needless headache. You can see the original thread over here. ** Oh look. The 'I'm scandalized you'd charge for your work, scandalized I tell you, how very dare you' folks are at it. Again. Because of course. And to be frank, I don't have the energy for [...]

Ok, important bits up top because we are all frazzled and attention spans are short. Hatched is out today.  It's up on both ravelry and payhip, and the code PECK will take 10% off for the first few days it's out. Now look I am not operating under any delusions. I know full well that these are absurd and serve absolutely no practical purpose whatsoever. Not one of you actually needs these. At all. However, I also know that they fill my weary soul with a tiny spark of joy. And right now, I am hoarding those little sparks.  I [...]

So, this brings us up to today.⁠ Well, more or less. All the pictures I've been showing you of these to date have been from the June 2021 reemergence (yes, yes this is starting to sound like a brood of cicadas, I fully realize it). I probably owe you a current picture of the whole pile here at some point soon. But I have Two Hats and Two Pairs of Mitts and Two Completed Patterns.⁠ I have the pattern files heading to testers.⁠ The knits are about to get blocked.⁠ And next week, I'm going out to wander off somewhere [...]

So to be fair, the decision to knit another pair of the mitts was...understandable. ⁠ They are utterly lovely. But lovely, in that sort of way where I, despite being The Person Who Knit Them In The First Place, am quite capable of holding them and thinking 'huh, how exactly does that work?'⁠ So perhaps I knit a second pair to make sure that the version of the pattern I wrote in February of 2021 really did make the piece of fabric I first created in early 2017. Because fine. I know my limitations.⁠ And the good news was that [...]

Look, I am normally Quite Immune to the charms of April Fools' Day.  I'm a very literal little soul, and often somewhere between perplexed and troubled by the things people think of as pranks.  So there will be no shenanigans of that sort here.  But I do have a certain proclivity to tiny nonsense.  And today seemed like a fine time to show it off. So, for today only, use the code FOOLISHNESS for 20% off all my tiny things. As usual, if you were on the mailing list as of yesterday, check your inbox, you've got a much bigger [...]

Monday morning saw me bundled up in my warm woollies, tromping through the forest, eggs in tow, in search of a good mossy rock. My quest was successful. Which means that our wee eggling friends should, barring any unforeseen catastrophes between now and then, be out Tuesday! Bonus points to anyone who successfully predicts the two different egg-shaped candies I brought along with me. And apologies to the lovely normal people out taking normal walks like normal members of society who came upon me, crouched on hands and knees behind the boulder, moving pine cones and sticks and fern fronds [...]

So there we were, in June of 2021, with two finished hats, one finished pair of mitts and, wonder of wonders, the completed charts and patterns (which I'd somehow managed to create in February of 2021, which I assure you, surprises no one as much as me).⁠ Like I very literally had two fully written patterns and two fully knit pieces. All I had to do was take the knits outside somewhere pretty one day, take photos, and release the pattern.⁠ Did I do this? ⁠ Clearly not!⁠ What did I decide to do instead? ⁠ Why, knit a second [...]
