Gleaming
The sun sets here at 4:01pm today. The sun has been setting around 4 since the middle of November, and it will keep on setting around 4 until the middle of January. And I? I do not do well with mid afternoon sunsets. So when the dark starts to feel [...]
Motivation
Every time it snows, I think "oh, I should go outside and take some pictures." And then when I do I quickly realize: it's cold and I am in my pajamas it's actually weirdly hard to take pictures of tiny things in snow and have them look cute because mostly [...]
Math problem
Ok, so this feels suspiciously close to knitting a math problem. But in that nifty way where you're pretty sure someone with more formal math training than you would say something clever about it, but you absolutely don't need to know how any of that works in order to make/use/enjoy [...]
Guesses
So...any guesses? This is currently winning the award for 'looks most like a crime in a muppet factory,' but it will soon get all folded up and wrangled in on itself and turned into something much more staid and respectable. Well...in form. The colors will stay their delightfully exuberant selves. [...]
Monthly Reminder
When we get to vote, Americans overwhelmingly support protecting and expanding abortion access. In the year and a half since a handful of Supreme Court justices restricted the bodily autonomy of half the country's population, voters in at least seven states (including red states like Ohio) have voted in favor [...]
Purple
I am unspeakably happy about having a purple that's light enough to actually let the light through (this is the new paper I got off ebay, the original stuff had a purple, but it was so very very dark that you really couldn't see through it if you had more [...]
Bother
I love the thing where you hide that first row of purls so you don't get the little purl bumps in a contrasting color when you switch yarns. Like, it's absolutely and completely optional. It serves no practical purpose whatsoever, and literally nothing bad happens if you don't bother. [...]
Supplies
Ok, let's talk about what you need to make these stars! But before we start, a quick note up top. I'm linking to amazon stuff for a lot of this. Now, we all know amazon is evil incarnate! But I also know that it's the easiest/cheapest option for a lot [...]
Last Call
Today's the last day for the retired patterns. Well ok, so technically, they're up until I sit down Tuesday morning and start taking them down. But that takes a couple of hours, and I can't tell you exactly when I'll start (other than 'after a fortifying breakfast') much less when [...]
Shoveling out
I am, at least in theory, going to go shovel out the inbox today. We'll see how that goes. But that is the general plan. Then later this week I'll see about getting some supply lists up for the stars (that's all already on the blog in various spots from [...]
