Sunny Side
Alrighty, so bacon is coming! But our little egg friend is likely coming first for a variety of boring logistical reasons. And while yes, it is delightfully simple (almost all stockinette in the round, which I firmly hold is the absolute simplest knitting), like all simple things, the details end [...]
Wired
Oh, oh I found the right wire and the right way to put it in the bacon. Did I expect to say this sentence? No. Do I stand by it? Oh yes! I mean really, look at that. Same yarn, same needles, same stitches, same knitter. Just one has wire [...]
Monthly Reminder
Monthly Reminder (Al Gore Rhythm dodging version on ig because otherwise no one sees it there, but here we can actually use the damn words). So, if you're feeling overwhelmed by all the terrible news, the SINGLE BEST WAY TO FEEL BETTER is to take action. Not scroll. Not watch [...]
Posy
The Posy book is out. Which means you, too, can spend the afternoon playing with coffee filters and dye and making the prettiest little paper flowers you ever did see. And honestly, I think you should. I think it's good for your brain to make something beautiful, and I think [...]
Last call!
I have, as of this typing, exactly five of the Noteworthy kits left. When we did the kits for these, I kept a handful of them back (just in case I did something wrong in packing them or in case something exciting happened in the mail). Now that it's been [...]

Mending with…stickers?
Let's mend my jacket! I have had this down jacket since 2017. It's bright pink…I'm a fat person… Do you know how unusual it is to find winter stuff in cool colors as a fat person? I intend to keep this jacket in rotation as long as I possibly can. [...]
Pretty Colors
These look less and less like coffee filters as we go! We talked about cutting them into fancy shapes, now let's make them pretty colors. You can dye your filters with either alcohol inks or alcohol ink based markers. Both work, both look great, both are fun. If you want [...]
Petals
Ok so step one on the road from grocery store coffee filter to perfect paper flowers is 'make colorful circles of petals.' Part of that process is cutting them into shapes, and that's what we're talking about first. If you want to watch me make them and make some of [...]
Middle aged
I have reached the stage of middle age where I will absolutely, without even a hint of shame, pull over to the side of the road to look at someone else's trash furniture. And I mean really...can you blame me? Because sometimes you find this! Which, admittedly, this is the [...]
