Lapse
I have suffered an error in judgement. Or perhaps not quite an error. More of a lapse. I was overcome with exuberance. These things happen. It's unavoidable. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go source some tentacles...
Tense
My grafting has a tendency to be too tight. What can I say. The world is stressful. Perhaps it's making me tense. The way I fix it is to do my graft very very very loosely. Then, start at the first end of the graft, and tease the extra yarn [...]
Done…probably
I think...think I shall call it done with these three. One is level and doesn't have anything in it to give it structure (yet is still surprisingly sturdy). One is level with shallower sides and does have something (in this case, the lid off a cat treat container, for we [...]
Round, very very round
Oh, oh this is so satisfyingly ROUND. Just deeply round. And smooth. And just very very soothing. I have so far resisted the urge to pet it incessantly, but that's mostly because it still needs proper pictures, and I'm not allowed to manhandle the knits until after photos. But please [...]
Assumptions
So let's just take as a given that occaaaaaasionally a person is going to find themselves knitting an urchin. These things happen. And if we start from that assumption, then perhaps it's more understandable that you might find yourself in a situation where you've made a few modifications to an [...]
Oddities
Oddities is out, you can find it on ravelry and payhip, and you can use the code TIDEPOOL for 15% off for the first couple of days it's out (or, folks on the Rampant Nonsense level on patreon get it for free as part of their membership). Look, this was [...]
Shapely
These...these do not look right when you are done with the knitting. They don't. They really really really don't. You have to do some stuff to get them stuffed and shaped. Bonus points, the process will give you a chance to say 'cleft' a whole bunch of times. Check out [...]
Monthly reminder
Monthly reminder, abortions are good, and everyone should have access to them! Alas, in the US, a lot of us don't. Iowa's 6 week ban just went into effect, making it the 18th state with a total or near total ban (AL, AR, FL, GA, IA, ID, IN, KY, LA, [...]
We have a winner!
We have a winner! As part of the (now concluded) return of the retired patterns, I asked you folks which patterns I should bring back and add to the year round collection. This is most decidedly not carefully designed or rigorous poll. It is very much a 'hey, I [...]
More reasonable
Ok, so we started with six, but that really was too many to pick from (most places don't let me do a poll with six choices). So I thought a bit about what would be involved in bringing each of them back, and looked at what the general trend in [...]
