You know the thing? The thing where you're excited about a project, but it's a weird project and you're sort of scared that if you try and explain it to someone else, they'll smile and nod and back slowly away from you like you are a large, rumbly dog with [...]

Finished? Yes. Subtle? No. ⁠ Then again subtle wasn't really the goal. Avoiding being mistake for a deer and shot by someone making bad choices with guns was the goal. And with any luck at all, the 'not subtle' aspects should help with the 'not shot' goals.⁠ At the very [...]

When this is done, I'm going to have about two thirds of the orange skein left. Which means that when this is done, I get to use that orange as my brain wants to use it, which is as a truly glorious accent on something that is gray. Because it [...]

Did you think I forgot The Orange Hat Of Not Getting Shot? Because I totally didn't. It's just...slightly slow going. Because sweet woolly lord but it's bright. And somehow I can only work on it for a little while before I find my eyes wanting to rest on something more [...]

Ahem. Next week? Shall we have this come out next week? I mean there's always the chance that 2021 will have learned some sneaky tricks from 2020 and will do something dreadful to me between now and then, so I'm officially not calling this a promise. But as it stands [...]

Let's talk innards! Well, lighthouse innards. Not my own personal innards.⁠ The core of the this lighthouse is one of the cylindrical blocks that came in the block set I used for the Chimney and Belfry patterns. If you want the exact ones I used, they're here (it's an amazon [...]

So...let's talk hearts. When I first wrote this pattern, I did it in three sizes. This isn't one of those projects that has to fit on a human body, nor is it one where the cuteness is lost if it's half an inch bigger or smaller, so three sizes seemed [...]
