Preserves
Earlier this month, we did a perfectly respectable, unquestionably useful, deeply practical hat. So of course this time we need to do something absurd, just to maintain balance. I'm pretty sure these strawberries qualify! There is absolutely nothing practical about them. They serve no useful purpose. And I'm not really [...]
Loopy
One of the many delightful things about Very Fancy Washcloths is being able to put a wee little loop on them so you can hang them up. And now yes, it does alas mean you end up knitting four and a half miles of icord (technically, more like 8 inches, [...]
Fairly Subtle
Ok, so the goal here was 'fairly subtle mend'...in part because 'perfectly invisible mend' was just not going to be an option on this one. But I feel like this is hitting the 'fairly subtle' goal pretty darn well! As is so often the case, there's a 'flop it around [...]
Strawberryish
Never fear, we are not afflicted with a strange strawberry bleaching plague, there are indeed also red strawberries! It's just...you know...'bright, true, strawberryish red' is about the least represented color in my entire stash, whereas 'chalky, dusty, pencil eraserish pink' is much easier to come by. But I wasn't going [...]
Valid
So sometimes, for completely legitimate and valid reasons, you find yourself needing to knit a teeny tiny brioche leaf. This is especially likely to happen if, say, last fall you knit a whole stack of much bigger brioche leaves to make The Best Washcloths Ever, and now you find yourself [...]
Assembly line
It's a strawberry assembly line over here, and I suspect it maybe the same at your house in the not too distant future, so let's run down what you need to make these! I must, for the sake of my faith in humanity, assume that you can all tell that [...]
Elbows
This sweater is several years old and had been in heavy rotation that whole time. And elbows are just heavy wear areas, so they’re often the first spot to wear out. But if you catch them in time, you can totally fix it…so let’s do that! Wiggle version with flopping [...]
Things occur
I regret to inform you that all good sense has fled. All that is left is a fondness for absurdities and a susceptibility to cute things. And when you mix that with a whole bunch of yarn scraps and a scandalous lack of self restraint...well...things are bound to occur.
Flair
There is something So Dam Satisfying about this stitch. I think it's because it's built around ribbing (which is easy and practical and functional always looks good) but has just enough flair that you don't get bored. And really, I know it looks a bit fancy (sort of like cables? [...]
Semblance
That pretty little bit of business? The one with the speckles & the big fat yarn? The one I knit in two sittings? It's out! It's called Semblance, and you can find it on ravelry and payhip. This is one of those magical patterns that looks so much more complicated [...]
