Remind me
"Remind me what you do for a job again?" "Uuuuum...huh. Well. So you see...it's complicated." (whispers: but also super fun) What I'm actually doing here is working up a version of the little needlebook to have a pocket for stitch markers, because everything is better with pockets. But it looks [...]
Low chaos tolerance
Ok, now we come to the most difficult decision in the whole project. Do I make the second mitt more or less the same (still with the blue end as the background and the green end as the contrast)? Or do I flip it around (so the green end is [...]
The Plan
Here's The Plan (read on if you have or are planning to get these, because we're doing things a little differently): Remember how I've spent the last year and a half restructuring my business so it's more manageable and less overwhelming? (That's why most of the old patterns are retired [...]
Wait for it
Still unblocked, ends still waggling in the wind, still delightful. Now I'll admit, I'm absolutely itching to get this blocked, because the whole thing is just going to relax and straighten up and even out in the nicest way. But I'm making myself wait until the second one is done [...]
Mix and match
Ok, back to the floof for a second. We did this a little while ago when it was just the mitts and the more eye-searingly pink hat, but it's cool enough I wanted to run it down one more time now that we have a third option in there. All [...]
Indulge me
Indulge me for just a moment and let me show you the inside of these... And look, I'm not going to pretend I don't like the outside better. I absolutely do like the outside better! But that's because the outside is kinda spectacular, even if it is scandalously immodest to [...]
Check in
Are we going to quietly sneak over and check in on these in amongst all the floof? Yup. Yup we are. Are we going to find ourselves hopelessly smitten with them? Well I mean I guess I can't speak for you, but I know they're totally doing it for me! [...]
Fixable
Yeah. It's not that the sweater doesn't fit. It's that flat fabric (sweater) over a not flat surface (me) held together at just a handful of spots (buttons) is gonna gap. But it's super fixable! Also yes, someone is about to say "this means you can't undo the buttons," but [...]
Pssst
Pssst, today (Friday) is the last day to use the code ZIGZAG for a little discount on Tacit! I'm also working on something nifty for folks who have the mitts and want the matching hat pattern (which should be coming out later this month), so you might wanna grab them [...]
Full, or half?
Ok, as of yet scandalously unblocked, but still done enough to see how cute they are! Which one do you like better, the full cable (the darker one on the left) or the half cable (the lighter one on the right)? You can do a folded or a straight brim [...]
