There we go. I am unspeakably pleased. As in, the other day when I was feeling a big under the weather, I wanted nothing more in the world than to hold this little buddy and fluff his wings about just so and just sort of revel in his chunky perfection.⁠ [...]

Folks...you should have warned me. No really, that was astonishingly fast. We hit (and oops, skidded right past) our goal in an hour. ⁠ I'm actually kind of overwhelmed. Like, the good kind of overwhelmed! But it's going to take me a few minutes to dig out from under my [...]

**Update 1** Holy smokes, we're more than half way there in half an hour, if you want in on this one, act quick! **Update 2** Well ok then, you folks are amazing, we blew past the goal in just about exactly an hour! That means the sale's over (the code [...]

Kittens! Sales! Good deeds! What's not to love? There's gonna be a BIG sale tomorrow (you may want to set an alarm), and we're going to help some kittens. Read on for the details! So, if you don't watch my instagram stories or follow me on twitter, you might not [...]

Well then, that worked out rather well. ⁠ Now don't worry, we're not done yet. There are tufts to trim and eyes to add, and I'll show you that here very shortly. But it is now at the point where I figure most folks looking at it will go 'oooooh, [...]

Ahem...now we pause for a moment to knit, well, to knit some tiny fuzzy wings. Because that's legit, nothing weird about that. Nope. Totally normal and reasonable. Carry on.

The next step is to stuff this little buddy nice and full. I've been making a lot of stuffed things lately, and I've come to really like these little plastic pellets.⁠ They're heavy and make the finished thing feel solid in your hand, which I find deeply soothing in some [...]

I really think you should have duplicate stitch in your bag of tricks. ⁠ It's by far my favorite way to mend thin spots in my knitting. Once you get the hang of it, you can even use it to repair actual holes (I've got an old blog post where [...]

You don't need these. They serve absolutely no practical purpose. None whatsoever. But, much like real donuts, just because you don't need them doesn't mean you don't want them. Because really they are an awful lot of fun.  The knitting is easy (it's almost all stockinette in the round). You [...]

Yes, another one. Another tiny bit of fluff and delight. No, I am not sorry. And I will not even have the good grace to pretend to be sorry. Once you see them finished, I think you'll understand!
