Take two
So you remember the folded hat from a few weeks ago? Uh huh. Well there's going to be a second version (I want to fine tune a few details and show a second way to put it together). And that means more yarn (it's the DK base from The Lemonade [...]
Swatches
Oh my goodness how have I not shown you guys this... So you know how I've been showing you all sorts of yarn for Curls 3? Yeah...well that doesn't just sit around being yarn, it gets turned into swatches. Lots and lots and lots of swatches! That's the Squish DK [...]
Revivify (plus giveaway)
So I know your life is perfectly in order. You never need a plumber, or an electrician, or whoever it is you call to do something about that funny spot on the garage roof. And I bet you have healthy dinners every night and your laundry is all put away [...]
Good Mail (really good!)
Don't worry...there totally are more yarns for Curls 3...I've just been so busy swatching them that I've been remiss in showing them off to you. Let's fix that! This set is Miss Babs' Sojurn base in their German Waterways colorway. It's made of angel wings and clouds and unicorn eyelashes [...]
Distractions
So you know I love flared cuffs. Sort of a lot. I tried to count, and it looks like there are at least four as individual patterns and some fairly alarming number in various books (I officially have enough patterns in enough places that it's kind of hard to sort [...]

So, I'm eyebrows deep in Curls 3 swatches. Which is a fairly pleasant place to be (this is the part where I get to have All The Ideas), but it does make for rather limited blogging. I did start getting twitchy about not having finished anything just lately though and [...]
And done
And this lovely bit of business is what happens when you pull up all those pins and see what your blocking has done! Now, the other fun thing about blocking is you can actually make some pretty big changes in how the finished piece looks. So for example on this [...]
Greenhorn (plus giveaway)
So if you've been here any length of time at all, you know I'm a firm believer in top down socks with a heel flap. But...every once and a while, the urge to do something a little (but let's be real...only a little) bit different strikes me. Greenhorn was one [...]
Joining on
So remember the terribly dreary and grim hat? The somber and surly one? The one that's a little storm cloud on your head? Yeah...most cheerful yarn you'll ever meet in your life. But sometimes, due to the intervention of kittens or an error in judgement or some other mishap, you [...]
