Sorted
I continue to be imaginary, but the blanket repair is sorted. Once I had all the live stitches picked up, I just bound them off with a nice stretchy bind off. It's tedious, because it's long, but not hard. And yes, fine, it probably is ridiculous to fix a blanket [...]
Imaginary
I am currently imaginary. I do not exist. I am not doing work. I am not checking email. I am not being productive. I am napping. Or watching a movie. Or napping. Or possibly cooking something...or at least eating something. But probably napping. But, while on my nap-fueled, doze-filled bender [...]
Spiffy
I suspect it says absolutely nothing flattering about my character (or at least my attention span), but every single time I get to one of the bright speckles, I go 'ooooh, spiffy' and feel better about the world for like two whole seconds. I'll drag this out somewhere photogenic [...]
Distracting
Need a low-stakes, low-stress project today? The coloring book based on those paper stars might do the trick! It's free, and anyone can download it right over here. I can't promise it'll keep your kids distracted or make your terrible relative any less infuriating. But I spent a happy [...]
Completely fair
And back up we go. I timed it, and each column (assuming I'm not stopping to take photos or videos) takes me about four minutes to run down and then work back up. So including the time to rip the decreases out and reknit them, fixing this will take [...]
Don’t yank
Ooooooh, ok, so this is a sneaky thing that sometimes happens when you run a column of stitches down. It doesn't mean you did anything wrong. It doesn't mean there's anything wrong with the yarn. It's just a thing that happens sometimes. All you do is clip it and [...]
Scribbling
I have it on good authority that I'm not the only one who still has their colored pencils (or who has obtained more in adulthood, a move that I completely support)! Which means I suspect I'm not the only one who might enjoy a little coloring book inspired by our [...]
Accidentally
Right, so, the stars... The stars and their nice, tidy, orderly, geometric shapes... The ones that look like stained glass... A few of them may sort of turned into coloring pages. Accidentally you understand. It's a known risk. These things happen. Any of you the sort that might be interested [...]
Improvements
The hat improvement continues. Now all I have to do is run each column of purl stitches down to the cast on, then work them back up as twisted stitches instead. I'm doing it on the inside of the hat, because that way I'll be working with them as knit [...]
Clarify
So when someone says 'yes, but are they *real* mittens?' all I can do is say 'yeah, so, can you clarify what you mean by real?' Because I mean they are real as in not imaginary. They exist. You can touch them. But they are not sized to be worn [...]
