Monthly Reminder
When we get to vote, Americans overwhelmingly support protecting and expanding abortion access. In the year and a half since a handful of Supreme Court justices restricted the bodily autonomy of half the country's population, voters in at least seven states (including red states like Ohio) have voted in favor [...]
Purple
I am unspeakably happy about having a purple that's light enough to actually let the light through (this is the new paper I got off ebay, the original stuff had a purple, but it was so very very dark that you really couldn't see through it if you had more [...]
Bother
I love the thing where you hide that first row of purls so you don't get the little purl bumps in a contrasting color when you switch yarns. Like, it's absolutely and completely optional. It serves no practical purpose whatsoever, and literally nothing bad happens if you don't bother. [...]
Supplies
Ok, let's talk about what you need to make these stars! But before we start, a quick note up top. I'm linking to amazon stuff for a lot of this. Now, we all know amazon is evil incarnate! But I also know that it's the easiest/cheapest option for a lot [...]
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 [...]
