Bonus points
If you're going to insist on knitting seven miles of boring stockinette, you can at least make it all tidy at the end, right? Right. Bonus points to everyone who suggested doing turned hems with judy's magic cast on (rather than with a provisional cast on you have to unzip [...]
Around and around and around
My brain has informed me that it...it wants to just go around and around and around for a while and not really do anything else just now. So I mean fine, I'm a knitter. I can make that happen. I mean not for too long, but for a little while [...]
Fancy Bit
Ahem. You can absolutely work the fancy bit with a contrast color. Just in case that's something you might ever find yourself wanting to do. This is a swatch for the new version of Constellate that should be out late this summer. You'll be seeing more of it as we [...]
May Housekeeping

Unsubstantiated
There is no need to be alarmed. The tentacles pose no threat. Reports of tool use and escape attempts remain unsubstantiated. Please remain calm. The situation is under control.
Fundamental Nature
