The hat should have been enough.  And if knitting the hat once wasn't enough, surely knitting it twice would satisfy that itch.  But somehow, no.  No it was not.  And so I found myself with matching mitts. Now, I'm certainly not complaining.  Both the stitch and the yarn continue to [...]

So look. Before you go about adorning your eggs with woolly bits, you need to get the eggy bits out of there. The traditional way of doing this involves making a tiny hole on the top, a slightly larger hole on the bottom, sticking a toothpick or nail up in [...]

So I already have something of a reputation for being fond of blocking.  I'll assume you already know the lecture on how it's magic and it's not that hard and your knitting is totally worth it. So instead I'll give the lecture on how it's good problem solving practice. On [...]

So normally I'm a sucker for texture. Give me cables. Give me lace. Give me a stitch pattern that swoops this way and that and does no end of interesting things.  But today?  Today I sort of just want to let this brim stand there and steal the show. Now [...]
