Blow out
I have a cheap cotton sweater from some fast fashion place (maybe Old Navy, maybe Target, I'm not 100% sure, it's at least six or seven years old). It started life as an actual wear-out-in-public sweater. Then after a year or so, it transitioned to a pajama sweater (I know, some [...]
They grew
Turns out, if you keep making stitches at even a slightly faster rate than you rip them out, your project will eventually grow. Even if you're tired. Even if it's been raining for two weeks straight. Even if you have a crew full of marvelous folks doing necessary but noisy [...]
And while we’re at it
And now, to the surprise of absolutely no one at all, let's have some mitts to go with the hat. Because I mean there's all that left over yarn in the skein...it would be a crying shame not to use it, right? Right. I did a bit of magic with [...]
Show off
I have this little voice in the back of my head that says I should attempt to maintain some sort of semblance of self effacing modesty. That I should not let on about how tickled pink I am about this whole thing. But you know what? That little voice is [...]
Dollop
Dollop is out, it's 10% off with the code CUPCAKE, and I'm so ridiculously smitten I just don't even know what to say. I realize that maybe this shouldn't be this entertaining. Maybe I should be doing something more suitable with my time in this world. But I have yet [...]
Feeling stabby?
So, there's no way to make the argument for these being terribly practical little beasts. Because they're knit cupcakes, and practical isn't really what you're going for if you're making a knit cupcake. But then again... I mean maybe you need a pin cushion? I suppose you could maaaaaaaaybe make [...]
Advance planning
So, the cupcakes are just about ready to come out (if all goes according to plan, they'll be out on April 16, because I'm pretty sure the day after tax day we could all use a cupcake). But, on the off chance you're planning to cast some on the moment [...]
Pretty much like that
So after that 'let's go straight for a nice long time...no...longer than you think' part, then comes the 'aaaaaaand three rows and you're done' bit. At least that's how my hats tend to work. I'm a tremendous fan of a quick decrease on hats. It actually means you're knitting a [...]
Remiss
Yeah, so somehow I've been distracted and not shown you as much of this as I should have. Which is a shame, as it's lovely. But it does pretty much do that thing all hats do in the middle where you can just sort of assume 'and then it got [...]
Pieces
I'm coming to love my scraps bin. I used to be fairly ruthless about throwing out little bits of yarn. If a yarn leftover was under 100 yards or so I'd decide I was never really going to use it for anything and just chuck it. But these days...these days [...]
