You’ve got options
Ok, let's talk about yarn for these. Because you've got options! I went with a fingering-weight single ply yarn (astrid from Seven Sisters Arts) held double with a bit of floofy mohair laceweight (abigail from HauteKnitYarn). I did that both because it's a gorgeous combo (and every bit as traffic [...]
Tacit
Tacit is back! It's out in all the usual places (ravelry, payhip), and you can use the code ZIGZAG for a little something off for the first few days it's out. But before you use that, go check your email. If you had an earlier version of this pattern (and [...]
Tippy top
Told'ja the top was nifty! I've got to get the mitts out (that should be here in just a day or two), but this is off with testers now, and should be the next thing out after that!
Nicely
Ahem. Yes. That will do nicely. I think. Wanna see the top?
Brief demonstration
Ahem. A brief demonstration that I do actually have yarn that is neither floofy nor pink/orange/purple. Just in case you were worried. This is one of Seven Sisters Arts color wheels, and I'm using it to make some mitts to go with Constellate (all of which should be out soon, [...]

Tacit is all set to come back early next week! Before it does, let's run down a couple questions and answers. First up, if you bought it when it was available in the past, keep an eye on your inbox, you'll get an email with the new version just like [...]

The Opposite of Suspense
Remember how I said I used yesterday's yarn math all the dam time? Yeah, it's how I knew I totally had enough yarn on hand to do a second version of this hat. And yeah, spoiler alert, if you look at yesterday's picture you can see I totally did and [...]
Yarn Math
I know math isn't everyone's favorite thing, but there's one Very Tiny Math Nugget that comes in super handy pretty much every time I knit something, so I want to make sure you have it in your bag of tricks. There's a point in pretty much every project where I [...]
Monthly Reminder
Every month I write a post saying "abortions are good" & send a donation to Aid Access. And this month, I've got something you can do to support abortion access! Well, something those of you registered to vote in Ohio can do, though I've got some ideas for the rest [...]
