Ooof. No really. Ooof is pretty much all I can manage right this second.⁠ You see, I went away last week on what was supposed to be a lovely, calm, relaxing, refreshing, restorative trip. The sort of trip where you hang out somewhere pretty and take nice walks and eat [...]

Sometimes? Sometimes a person simply has to give in and embrace the nonsense and just do the thing. And if the thing happens to be using a wood burning tool to decorate a scrap of leather to affix to a knitted potion bottle? Well then that doesn't seem like it [...]

Don't mind me, I'm just wandering around my house (and yard...and over to the beach...and possibly other slightly trespassy places) to collect some treasures and make a little tableau for some knitted potion bottles. That's perfectly normal right? Yes, uh huh, perfectly normal.⁠ And yes, yes I know it looks [...]

Ok, let's talk about the guts of these.⁠ There are two basic ways to make knitted fabric have shape. Either you do it with increases & decreases (or other fabric manipulation), or you do it with a teeny tiny bit of brute force. For the potion bottles, we're doing a [...]

Here is your absolutely shameless reminder that it's starting to feel like fall for at least some of you, and that if you'd like to go on a little nature walk and collect some acorn caps, you can have a handful of these delightful little things finished up in an [...]

So general Q&A sort of stuff...⁠ Yes, it will be a pattern (really, unless I explicitly say otherwise, you can always assume it will be a pattern, since that's you know, how I keep the kittens in catnip)! As always, the way to hear about that is to be on [...]

In a previous post, I told you you really can not say I'm sloppy with my blocking. I'm going to go ahead and say that you also can not in all fairness say that I am insufficiently committed to the tiny thing photo shoots.⁠ That's me, at my favorite local [...]
