Bits…with caveats
Ok, people want the bits. And I get that, I do! But the truth is they are a) hard to find, b) expensive even if you do find them, and c) irritating to use. As in, the existing commercial tools to make these...well...kinda suck. And if you like to make [...]
Too long
I...I don't think I've made these recently. In fact, the last evidence I can find me making them is from back at the end of 2020. Which really, far too long. Because these are another of the bits of radial symmetry and opportunity to bring tidiness to chaos that I [...]
Innards
Innards! Let's run down what's inside these, and what you need to make them...First things first, the pattern is called Drifts and it's on both ravelry and payhip. Next up, these are a combination of knitting and embroidery. You knit the round bit, then embroider all over it in [...]
Drifts
Pssst...Drifts is out in all the usual places (ravelry and payhip)! If you sort of haaaaaaaaappened to use the code FLURRIES, that would be clever of you (though if you get email from me, do check your inbox first, because that's always where the even shinier codes end up). You [...]
Monthly Reminder
Monthly reminder that abortions are good (in the way that all healthcare is good...doesn't mean they're fun, doesn't mean anyone wants to need them, but by god it's good to have them available when they're needed), that I and any space I have any control over is absolutely 100% pro [...]
They’re Back!
It's that time again! Lots (and lots and lots) of the retired patterns are back for the next few days. Let's run down the details: You can find the retired patterns on both ravelry and payhip. You can tell which ones are retired because they'll have a big paragraph up at the [...]
Here’s the plan…
It's that time, the retired patterns will be back next week! Now, couple of caveats... - It's MOST of the patterns, but not all of them. Some are either old enough that I don't feel good letting anyone buy them or have publishing restrictions on them because they were part [...]
Thinking About Yarn, Part 2
So last time we talked about structure (single vs multiple plies). The next thing I like to think about when I am slotting yarns into my mental categories is yarn weight. As with last time, this is really meant to be a video, and if you want to see that, [...]
Underestimated
I may, just possibly, have underestimated the scale of the project. I am in kit mode, which means I am turning thiiiiiis pile of yarn (Seven Sisters Arts, and gorgeous it is, there are little bundles over here)... Into a more structured pile of yarn ... So that I can [...]
Thinking About Yarn, Part 1
Ok...y'all are as interested in this sensory issue thing as I am. So, I'm going to try (emphasis on try, taking something that happens real deep down in your brain and putting it into words and then into someone else's brain is not always as easy as you might like) [...]
