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 [...]
Clap
Please clap. I have woven in Twenty Four Ends (six leafs, two colors per leaf, two ends per color). Now normally I actually love weaving in ends. But twenty four ends, in brioche (so both sides are the pretty side, so you have to be extra careful), in slightly slinky [...]
Scarlet
I am saying it so none of you beat me to it. Yes, it does look sort of like a tongue. And yes, I read enough classic kids' books to immediately start making scarlet fever jokes. I'm classy like that.
Good decisions
Yup. This is fine. Totally fine. There is absolutely no cause for alarm. You and I are both reasonable, sensible adults who make good decisions and use our time well.
