Ok, so I have a plan for how we're going to test out these postcards (before they later launch as a product)! If you wanna maybe be a postcard tester (think like a pattern tester, except you're saying it's ok if I mail you a couple postcards to play around [...]

For anyone who saw the cards in the last post and thought 'that should be a postcard,' I have two things to say. First, you're right...second, I have good news! The backs of them are, indeed, set up to be postcards. Now I know someone is wondering, so yes, right up [...]

So remember a couple weeks ago when I said some version of 'holy crap weasels, getting the notebook paper made was the most complicated thing I've ever produced, I had to learn a bunch of shit to make this happen?' Yeah...well...it seems silly to do all that learning and then [...]

So last time we tried out Sock Stop. And the verdict was 'does indeed make things grippy...but also you can feel it under foot.' So now we're trying another product, this time Plasti Dip. It's pretty much what it sounds like (rubberized coating in a tin) and is meant, as [...]

Look, I am easily amused. I freely admit it. And I don't even think it's a bad thing. I do, in fact, think it's quite delightful. Because it means I can be absolutely tickled pink by no end of ridiculous things...like putting grommets in my perfect little stitched notebook paper. [...]

Two things!  One: The spiffy new tier on patreon (the one where you get to make your own amazing embroidered notebook paper) is closing tonight! So if you want in, this is last call. Head to this post for more details. Two: We've got a handful of Community Supported Patreon Memberships [...]

The other day we started a little science experiment and put some Sock Stop* on a sacrificial sock to see if it might make knitted slippers less slippery. I left it to dry for a couple of days and am back with results! The short version is it makes the [...]

A brave and valiant sock has offered itself up in pursuit of scientific progress. At least that's the story I'm telling myself and I besmirch this perfectly lovely sock (it's by Darn Tough, which is my absolute favorite brand of commercial socks...mostly wool, goes in the washer and dryer, lifetime [...]

Ok so of course I took the perfectly tidy photos first. But real life is...not tidy. Real life has spills and stains and fits of pique and possibly even a broken pencil and some wadded up pieces of paper. So I figured I'd go ahead and sacrifice one piece to [...]
