It’s been a long week
This week had some rough bits. Ravelry did something awesome. A whole lot of folks were firmly in support of what ravelry did and made that known. A teeny tiny handful of folks had had some very public temper tantrums. And. while the folks throwing temper tantrums were FAR outnumbered [...]
Summer School
Ok, I'm doing something scandalous...scandalous I tell you. I'm going to take part of next month off. This year's book is heading off to the printer next week (translation, one of the year's biggest projects is just about to finish up a hard bit), and I've got some time before [...]
Let’s do yarn stuff for a minute
Let's do the yarn thing for just a bit. Isn't this pretty? These go together rather nicely if I do say so myself. I think it's the tiny hits of lavender in the orange yarn...they just zing against the dark purple. Pretty sure you could not ask for a better fit. [...]
Ravelry is Right
Earlier today ravelry made a change to their terms of service. They are banning support of Donald Trump and his administration on ravelry. They say support for this administration is support for white supremacy, and that they will not allow support for white supremacy in their space. They are absolutely [...]
Held Double
Flexes fingers...stretches arms...ok, this is all stuff I've said before, so totally feel free to skip right over this if you've been here a while. But just in case you're new, here's the spiel on the cast on. Yup, I totally cast on over two needles held together. Before anyone screams [...]
Smashing
Smashing is out ,and it's 10% off on ravelry with the code FLIP for the next few days. Now, I will absolutely not try to convince you that this is hard or fancy or complicated knitting. It's really not. It's ribbing, worked on the bias. You can't get too much [...]
That’s going to work out nicely…
Pretty sure we need more brioche. And I'm pretty sure this is going to be the way to do it. That orange is some seriously deep stash. The company is, alas, apparently out of business...and normally that means I would not use the yarn, but it's a common enough base [...]
Pool
Nearly there!⠀I flat out LOVE how this one is pooling. The yarn is Clara from Manos del Uruguay in the color Miel, and it works up beautifully with this pattern.⠀ This hat is actually a fun project for a lot of opinionated yarns (not that this one is particularly obstreperous...but we [...]
Odd
This is one of those knits that just looks *odd* until it's done and blocked. And that's not a bad thing! But it does mean I'm asking you to make a bit of a leap of faith for a bit there in the middle. Two things make me feel a little better [...]
Folded
The replacement hat (for the original hat really is a bit too worn to use for photos) is clipping along nicely. The biggest slow down is that I keep stopping to fold up the corner and admire how it comes together. Sometime even going so far as to move it [...]
