Less…anatomical
Right, so, there's a stage in these where they look like a nipple. They just do. But we can fix it. Or at least minimize it (I suspect the human brain just has a part whose whole job is to go 'ooooooh, boob, tee-hee' as often as possible, so it [...]
Keep digging
We started digging through the bin earlier, but we did not get all the way to the bottom, so let's pull out some more pieces. Video over on instagram if you want to watch me shove my sweaty hand into a slightly too small mitt on a hot, humid day [...]
I’m nosy
Ok so I'm nosy... The retired patterns are back for their summer holiday. They've been up since Tuesday morning, and I wanted to see which ones were the most popular. So I did a little bit of swearing at spreadsheets (I did not get spreadsheet autism, I got 'look at [...]
Rummage around
I have a bin in the closet mentally labeled 'samples that are in good enough shape that, were I ever to wish to revisit that pattern, I could probably just take new pictures instead of getting new samples knit' (look, I know myself well enough to know that all old [...]
They’re up!
They're back, but not for long! I bring my retired patterns back for a few days once or twice a year, and they just went live. Let's run through the details real quick, short version first if you know what you're looking for/are in a hurry, longer version below that [...]
A little birdy told me…
The retired patterns are coming back for a few days later this week! TL;DR: Retired patterns come back for a few days once or twice a year (usually in summer and after Thanksgiving). That's happening later this week, they'll be up for a few days, then they'll go away again. [...]
Treasure!
I found a treasure at the thrift shop! Looks to be about three yards of a lovely, slightly slubby, slightly tweedy fabric in what I think is either wool or a wool blend (it's in the wash now, and I'll go all mad scientist on it to see if I [...]
Petal variations
Swinging back by just to show off some of the different ways the paper flowers from Posy come out if you play with different sizes of petals (and because I mean really, they're pretty, they're fun, and I feel like someone out there absolutely meant to go get the book [...]
Short Rows
Ok short rows...short rows are how you make the egg look like an egg, rather than a weird circle. And short rows are also one of those things that can feel completely confounding when you first hear about them (I mean they did for me, and I assume I'm not [...]
Compromise
I think I found a reasonable compromise between my baser tendencies and the incessant demands of capitalism. Meaning I spent Monday dutifully moving projects closer to done (the problem is many projects have a timeline that lasts for months, so I literally can't actually finish it all the way through [...]
