"Oh," they say, "that will be easy," they say, "just sneak up on her while she's sleeping and plop it on her head," they say. Thus confirming my suspicion that they have not ever tried to do any such thing. ⁠ My darlings, I'm fond of you all, but you [...]

I'm flattered you like these fuzzy little buddies as much as I do.  Really I am!  It is truly lovely to know that they appeal to so many of you, and it absolutely makes my day better when I hear that you like them. But I want to answer a [...]

It seemed like a good idea at the time.  I mean it's knitting, right?  The risk of things going horribly wrong is fairly low to begin with.  And it's a tiny owl.  What's the worst that could happen? The chances of fire or bloodshed or significant structural damage are very [...]
