Melty
Ok, I shall brave the controversy. What's your preferred level of marshmallow toast? I personally go toward the middle row, right hand side, but I realize tastes vary. The true test for me is 'how melty is the inside.' I prefer my marshmallow innards absolutely molten, with the outside [...]
All The Things
So when I say Block All The Things...I do indeed mean All The Things. Even the tiny ones! Now, is this strictly necessary? I mean literally nothing about two inch tall mittens is at all necessary, so obviously not. But does it make them look better? Yup. It really does. [...]
Pre soak
Unblocked (yes, I will block them, yes, it will make a difference in how they look, yes, even for something so tiny), but done enough to confirm that they are, indeed, adorable. Though not as adorable as they'll be after a brief soak and priming session.
Deeply Personal
I would never dream of telling anyone how toasted to take their marshmallow. That is a deeply personal matter and something only you can decide. But I will tell you the best way I've found to simulate various levels of toasting on your knitted marshmallows. The secret seems to be [...]
Enchanting
Hold up...first we need a second mitten... Again, these are tiny. Not 'small child' tiny. Oh no. These are 'fits on my smallest finger' tiny. 'I'm going to block them on the handle of a butter knife' tiny. 'I'm weirdly tempted to see if I can fit a tube of [...]
Practicality
I mean of course we need a mitten strap...otherwise it would be far too easy to lose the absurdly small mitten. You've got to be practical about these things you know. Yup. That's it. Practicality is the key here. Uh huh. Carry on.
Baser tendencies
Many lovely people who like the fingerless mitts but prefer mittens: "You should knit mittens!" Me, who knows my own baser tendencies when it comes to heeding the letter vs spirit of a request: "Oh, maybe some day..." I cannot over emphasize how tiny this is. Like an inch across, [...]
Sneaky ends
It can be tricky to weave in your ends when you can't get to the back of your fabric to hide them. This video over on instagram shows how I handle it. It works perfectly (so well that it can actually be tricky to find them if you ever need [...]
Chilled
It's the first properly cold morning of the season here. The kind where you step outside (still in your jammies because that's been fine for the last six months and you've sort of forgotten about coats) and gasp and remember that winter is on its way. And, while I'm not [...]
A bad sign?
Is it a good sign or a bad sign that I kept seeing this out of the corner of my eye and reaching out to pick it up and take a drink? Like more than once. Significantly more than once. And no, the world absolutely does not need knitted marshmallows. [...]
