Boss of your knitting
Do you have to block your socks? No, of course not. You are the boss of your knitting, and a grown up, and I have absolutely no power to compel you to do anything at all. I do, however, want to show you what blocking your socks does and talk about [...]
Questionable Nonsense
I do a bit of housekeeping every month (to remind folks what's about to rotate off patreon and to show off what's coming next), and to keep those posts from being dreadfully boring, I'm combining them with a monthly advice column/Q&A session (aka an excuse to ask what folks are [...]
Yarn Ramen
Aaaaaand here it is in all it's unwound glory. It makes for an unspeakably satisfying (if tangle prone) toy, but alas we must soak it into submission before it can be reintroduced to the stash. Though I certainly won't tell if you wanna watch it go sproing sproing sproing for [...]
Monthly Reminder
Every month I do a post saying "abortions are good" and send a donation to Aid Access (where you can order abortion pills online, right now, even if you live somewhere with a ban, even if you're not currently pregnant, you can get them from Plan C Pills too). This [...]
Wibbly Bits
This weekend saw a Significant Purging Of The Stash and Tidying Of The Bins. And one of the things that came up along the way was this, which was like 75% of a skein of a very pretty yarn. A very pretty yarn that I happen to have another skein [...]
Mend my ways
You know how I'm always saying you should swatch? Mmmmm. Yes. Well. The one time I said 'eh, it's just a tiny hat, I don't need to bother to swatch,' I ended up with a hat that was so dense that it was more of a helmet than a hat. [...]
Under the influence
I am not knitting a sock. I am not knitting a sock. I am not knitting a sock. I'm really really really super not. But I am under the influence of a sock. And will be for the next little while.
Every time
Every time a pattern for a tiny thing gets popular I get comments like this. These read "I would recommend checking the price again. It is disproportionate to patterns for sweaters in 7 sizes" & "Nice design and commentary, but I simply cannot justify $10 for a washcloth….nor do I [...]
Terrifyingly Competent
Does brioche feel scary? If so, I have some good news... First, a bit of confession. It felt scary to me at first too! I mean look at it, how could it not be a little scary? But, as with so many things, once you spend a little bit of [...]
Lather
Yes, yes knitting yourself beautiful, squishy, scrubby, luxurious washcloths is a little indulgent. But guess what? You are allowed to be indulgent with yourself. I actually think you should find ways to make the ordinary moments in your life as pleasant as possible. Use the nice napkins, even if you're [...]
