So...I know I've told you this before.  But it was a long time ago, and some of you are new.  So I'll do it again.  Put your thumb stitches on scrap yarn (instead of an extra needle) when you're making mitts. Why?  Well because it's bendier.  When you try your [...]

So I'm doing something similar with the thumbs again (like on Unwavering).  You make extra stitches to make room for the thumb, but instead of using the stitches you made, you grab the ones next to it. This is surprisingly hard to describe.  It would be ever so much easier [...]

Right...so I should probably be done with this by now...I mean I did do a whole hat's worth of it.  But somehow no. Somehow I find myself wanting just a little more. The trickiest bit was picking the color.  I don't feel like using the whole rainbow is super practical [...]

I went to Fiber Frolic earlier this month, and then completely and utterly failed to show you the goodies I got! In my defense, I did show them off on instagram stories (I'm starting to play with that, so if you ever felt a burning desire to hear me natter [...]

Folks, we need to talk about pompom trimming.  This isn't actually a sentence I ever thought I'd say, but apparently my life is odd.  I heard from so may folks saying some variation of 'ack, your pompoms are perfect, mine never look like that.'  And I'm here to tell you [...]

I'm a grown up. I am. I have the paperwork to prove it. But somehow...somehow my reaction to this hat makes me question just how much of an adult I really am.  It's called Ostensibly, and you can get it on ravelry for 10% off with the code ALLEGED. I [...]

Ok...so we established that I firmly believe one rainbow pompom was a fine thing to do.  But you see...there was some of the gray speckled yarn leftover too.  And I didn't want it to feel left out. You wouldn't want that, would you?  I mean that would just be heartless. [...]

So I mean really...can you blame me?  Because I don't think I can be asked to resist the idea of a pompom out of this. Possibly you can. You may also be able to resist that extra piece of pizza, staying up late on school nights, and yet another bottle [...]

So when the inside of your project looks like this... There's going to be a point where you're confronted with these... And you have a little breakdown.  But then? Then you remember that you were once an eight year old girl, and you won't be daunted by a mess of [...]

Turns out the yellow won. It was a close race (I actually tried both because I was feeling that indecisive).  On the hat, I liked the yellow best. And now...now it's more or less done! Well...except for dealing with the insides.  And um, maybe making a pompom.  Because apparently that's [...]
