Ahem. Yarn. ⁠ Now look, some yarns are easy with their charms, they show you just how delightful they are in any form...skein, cake, swatch, full sized knitting. They let you know just how marvelous they are the very first moment your eye falls upon them. ⁠ But some yarns [...]

Did you miss them? Because I know I was missing them...⁠ ⁠These are the next round of patterns to come back out (as part of the massive pattern reformat/update project that was supposed to take up most of 2020, but then 2020 turned out to be rather more eventful than anyone [...]

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 [...]

Ooooh, we should talk about a thing. Here, take a look at this.⁠ These hearts use the exact same yarn (they're from the same skein of sevensistersarts' Matrika base), but two different sizes of needles. The top one is knit on size 1 needles, the bottom one is knit on [...]

This is fine. I'm a grownup. This is a valid use of my time. ⁠ I am not at all a distractable child, easily led astray by the nearest soft, fluffy object, completely susceptible to the charms of pretty colors. Nope. Real live grownup here. This is fine.⁠ For folks [...]
