If I were only knitting for myself…
No, really, I was very much not kidding about the parade of swatches. There are So Very Many. I'm going to take pictures of them and then just randomly inflict them on you when the mood strikes. This, by the way, is an actual delight, but so wildly impractical that [...]
Of course not
No, I am not making hats for easter eggs. I am making hats for something else tiny and absurd and blocking them on easter eggs. Though whether that is better or worse I truly cannot tell at this point. But yeah...yeah tiny hats for another project you'll be seeing more [...]
I really did mean it
I told you I was surgically implanting the perfect amount of slouch. I really really really meant it too (I generally do mean the things I say, at least I try to). Some answers to some questions I imagine someone out there has... Nope, you don't have to do this, [...]
Here a swatch, there a swatch, everywhere a swatch swatch
I'm not sure why, but I'm right in the middle of a massive 'swatch, make a face, rip it out, repeat' dance right now. I've got literally dozens of swatches that are Really Quite Close But Not Exactly Right littered all over the house right now. I think what [...]
Surgically implanted slouch
Ok so this hat? This hat is a bit tall. That's because it's meant to be the perfect slouch hat. By which I mean "I shall be surgically implanting the perfect amount of slouch as part of the finishing such that I am never ever ever relying on my own [...]
Options
I think I've figured out what I like about holding mohair along with another yarn (cough, or at least one of the things...it would be silly to pretend there's only one). It gives you a much wider range of practical gauges. Let me explain. The base yarn here is Seven [...]
Somehow
I would like someone to knit me a giant, snuggly sweater out of these two yarns held together. Seriously, they make a fabric that is downright slinky. Actually it's better than that. It's somehow slinky and cozy at the same time. And you'd think those would be opposite ends on [...]
Absurdities
Look, we went a little overboard for easter when I was a kid. There were egg trees. As in, bring a branch (cough, or several branches) inside, put them in water and wait for them to flower. (Seriously, forcing some branches in the spring is the easiest and cheapest way [...]
Preparatory remarks
I know. I know I really do. It doesn't look like much of anything just yet. But I promise, I know where this is going, and it will be the most unspeakably wearable hat in all the world. Just give me a little bit to get it past the 'um, [...]
In which I am rather firm
This is transcribed from a twitter thread. But twitter threads tend to be a bit impermanent, and I wanted to keep a record of this here to point to as needed (though you can totally also go read it on twitter to see the replies/conversations that spring up around it). [...]
