Bacon Plans
Just for anyone who is the plan ahead type, the bacon kit preorder should open next week! The general plan is to do a great big info post (likely on Monday), with everything I think you might conceivably might want to know about the kit, then open the preorder for [...]
Lifecycle of a sweater
Ok so I want to do a thing. I want to document the lifecycle of these sweaters. By that I mean I want to keep track of when I wear them and when I wash them and when I depill them and when I mend them and when they go [...]
Block baby block
Right, so...blocking. Every now and then I say 'a big part of the reason my pieces look the way they look is because I am picky about my blocking, so if you want the thing you make to look as much as possible like the thing I made, this is [...]
Pockets
You know that thing where you go and have a secret, sneaky, unexpected feeling about something you never intended to have a fucking feeling about? Yeah. That thing is happening. That thing is happening kind of a lot lately, maybe a little too much. This is what I'm having a [...]
Monthly Reminder

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 [...]
