These do one of the niftiest pop up tricks I've ever seen in knitting. Seriously it's way more fun than it should be. That first picture shows what they look like when you're done knitting them, the second one shows what they look like when you pop them into shape [...]

Yup, that will do nicely!⁠ Ok, general info round up, because I see a few folks have questions. ⁠ 1) Yes, it will be a pattern! Very likely as early as next month if everything goes according to plan and there are no surprises.⁠ Here's the gentle reminder that about [...]

I'm pretty sure it's the sprinkles that take these from donut adjacent to yes absolutely that's a donut, no question about it.⁠ I like to use bugle beads, especially the opaque ones (yes, yes I did totally trim the translucent ones off the initial donut and replace them with these, [...]

As promised, June is going to be all socks all month long.  The plan, assuming nothing goes alarmingly pear shaped over the next few weeks, is to do a sock every single Tuesday (and there are five Tuesdays this month!) so we can get a bunch of our old friends [...]

I'm going to talk about swatching & blocking. That always makes some folks a bit touchy. So I'll start by saying you are the boss of your knitting, and you can or not do whatever you want. ⁠ But holy wow do I have a whole bunch feelings about what [...]

Ok, this is a lovely example of how pairing fuzzy bits with your yarns does magical things.⁠ We've got three yarns here. The fuzzy one is Shibui's Silk Cloud in Cove. It's held with two different colors of Hypothesis Yarns' Tweed Dk. ⁠ On the hat (the larger piece of [...]
