Scandalous
I told you it was instant gratification! That's two knitting sessions and two skeins of very very very big yarn transformed into a very respectable hat with a delightfully deep brim. You really can't ask for more than that. Now, I am slightly cheating by using one of my earlier [...]
Cheerleading
This is for anyone feeling nervous about folding the stars! Remember the little one I folded and put together on video last week? Yeah, I wrote up the folding instructions for that one and put them together for you to try out. If you've been looking at the stars [...]
Tethered
As always, I will not be attempting to convince you that you need these. I will not pretend that they serve any practical purpose. I will not suggest that they solve any of your problems. I will say only that you can sit down with your needles, a tiny ball [...]
Cranked
I cannot even begin to explain how fast and satisfying this is. This, which is about seven inches of knitting (with the brim unfolded) is what I cranked out in one afternoon of knitting. And really, I could probably have finished it in a day, but my elbow would not [...]
Requisite amount
This is absolutely providing the requisite amount of instant gratification. It's a hat. A hat for my giant head. And it's only 60 stitches around, for the yarn is just that delightfully thick and smushy. It's Martin's Lab Big Singles in Glitter, and it's delightful. And yes, I will need [...]
Two Paths
There are two paths to instant gratification in knitting: teeny tiny project, or absolutely gigantic yarn. Today I am choosing the second path.
Gleaming
The sun sets here at 4:01pm today. The sun has been setting around 4 since the middle of November, and it will keep on setting around 4 until the middle of January. And I? I do not do well with mid afternoon sunsets. So when the dark starts to feel [...]
Motivation
Every time it snows, I think "oh, I should go outside and take some pictures." And then when I do I quickly realize: it's cold and I am in my pajamas it's actually weirdly hard to take pictures of tiny things in snow and have them look cute because mostly [...]
Math problem
Ok, so this feels suspiciously close to knitting a math problem. But in that nifty way where you're pretty sure someone with more formal math training than you would say something clever about it, but you absolutely don't need to know how any of that works in order to make/use/enjoy [...]
Guesses
So...any guesses? This is currently winning the award for 'looks most like a crime in a muppet factory,' but it will soon get all folded up and wrangled in on itself and turned into something much more staid and respectable. Well...in form. The colors will stay their delightfully exuberant selves. [...]
