Taken
In all fairness, I did tell you it was rather delightful. I mean it isn't done at this point! There's a good bit more to come. But I admit to being quite taken with it. As with most of the embroidered projects, part of the joy of them is [...]
Alarming simple
Ahem. Remember that pretty little purple hat I finished back in (mumble mumble mutter snuffle ahem) February (snuffle mumble look, it's been a busy year, ok)? The one that was almost alarmingly simple though still rather fetching? The one I said was simple for it was destined to be adorned? [...]
Wrap Up
One last post to answer questions that came up as we talked about this! 1) The pattern is Constellate. It's not currently available, but reknitting it does indeed mean I plan to bring it back! If you want to hear when I do, you know what to do. 2) I [...]
Circumspect
Someone's wondering if I couldn't just photoshop the hat back to glory. And sure, probably, more or less? In fact, I tried (this pic is heavily edited)! But I try to be circumspect in my editing, both because I'm Super Bad At It, and because I want my pictures to [...]
Tidy
How about a little close up of what I mean when I say reversible! These are the two sides of the crown on Correlation. I knit the silly thing and I still have trouble convincing my brain they're the same piece of fabric! This is also a perfect time to [...]
Correlation & Causation
Wanna play with some nifty reversible cables? Correlation & Causation are back on both ravelry and payhip. And I mean it when I say they're reversible! And not in that 'looks the same on each side' kind of way. Oh no. These are reversible in that 'wait, are you sure [...]
Highly Subjective
Here are a couple of close ups of what I mean about the yarn going awfully fuzzy for not yet having been worn at all, the purple at the base going much more brown, the colors overall getting faded, and white spots turning up on the orange bits (you can [...]
What went wrong
Let's talk a bit about what went wrong with the yarn. Reminder, I won't be saying who it's by, because that would be a dick move. But I will talk about what happened because I need to get some use out of the time I spent knitting (using it for [...]
A Truly Lovely Experience
Our cabled friends are all set to come back next week! And as always, I'll make some copies available through the Community Supported Pattern fund. The Community Supported Pattern fund is the best way I've found to balance a couple of conflicting truths: - One, things are hard right now [...]
Exegesis
Monsieur Levon and Miss Fizzy have graciously assisted me in The Washing Of The Sweaters.* If you wish to read a lengthy exegesis on the process, including how often I wash my sweaters, what goes in a load, why I regard my washing machine as a glorified sink, and what [...]
