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 [...]

I just sent something special off to all my paid members on Patreon. Everyone just got a free copy of Duly Noted (the pattern for the unspeakably adorable embroidered notebook paper).
