Last Call
Today's the last day for the retired patterns. Well ok, so technically, they're up until I sit down Tuesday morning and start taking them down. But that takes a couple of hours, and I can't tell you exactly when I'll start (other than 'after a fortifying breakfast') much less when [...]
Shoveling out
I am, at least in theory, going to go shovel out the inbox today. We'll see how that goes. But that is the general plan. Then later this week I'll see about getting some supply lists up for the stars (that's all already on the blog in various spots from [...]
Get moths
Yes, the pattern names are, at least in part, a massive fuck you to every single teacher that ever told me I used too many big words or that I read the wrong books or that I shouldn't raise my hand so much because it made the boys feel bad [...]
Timed it
Ok so I timed it. Because someone always wants to know how long they take to make. And the answer seems to be somewhere between half an hour and an hour (mostly depending on how complicated the folds are and whether I've enlisted the services of a helpful kitten [...]
Let’s not wait
So it's not just the books that are back, it's a bunch of the tiny things too. And yeah, yeah some day I'd love to get several of these back out and generally available. Because they really are rather spiffy! (Is it wrong I love that apple so much? And [...]
Pinky swear
Ok, lemme give you the quick run down on how these work. Because I super duper pinky swear they are easier than they look! You start by cutting 8 pieces of the nifty paper. It's called glassine paper or kite paper. It's translucent and rather like that crinkly waxed paper [...]
Ink on paper
The retired patterns are back for a few days, and that includes the books! So, some of you are new here and may not know that I used to do books. Actual printed paper books. The kind that sit on your shelf and make you feel like you Did The [...]
Stained glass and what now
I swear they look like some magical cross between stained glass and hat crowns. And yes, I have totally toyed with the idea of making a hat to match at least one of them. The tricky bit is that you'd need Rather A Lot Of Stitches to get that much [...]
They’re back!
Super Quick Version because you're busy & might just want to skim: All the retired patterns that are coming back this time are now live on both ravelry & payhip. They'll be up through the end of the day Monday, November 27. The retired patterns are already on sale [...]
Exact correct amount
I am having too much fun. Or, alternately, the exact correct amount of fun. Because really, if you can bring yourself an hour of enjoyable making (as you fold them up) and then weeks and weeks of ongoing delight (as they hang in your window and make those 4pm sunsets [...]
