Magic tricks

It seems only fair for a mushroom to know a magic trick or two, right? And one of my favorite tricks with these is that you can get them to stand up properly...as long as you're willing to do a bit of magic of your own. Now, the ones with [...]

Never ending swatches

Ok, we did swatches parts one and two already, let's see if we can't fit the last three all in at once! I want all the bonus points for reblocking this swatch so I could take a decent photo of it for you. Yarn is Chickadee by Quince and Co [...]

Foraged

Swatches…so many swatches

It's high time I start showing off some of the bits and pieces for the upcoming book!  And for me, that means swatches.  So Many Swatches. Now, if I were cooler, I'd have this pinned out and under tension for you.  Because this is one of those stitches that just absolutely pops when [...]

Bite

So folks who bought the Peached pattern already know this, but there was a little something extra in there.  I included instructions on how to modify your peach a bit and turn it into an apple.  But I didn't actually have an apple knit quite yet (and wow did I [...]

Ok, yarns part two (because I couldn't put all that pretty in just one post, you might die). This is Apex by Seven Sisters Arts in the color Water Nymph. Ok, something a little different here. We've got our old friend superwash merino, but instead of adding nylon or cashmere, this [...]
