Better in sets
Better in sets better in sets better in sets. I'm just always going to believe that knitted accessories are better in sets. Now, do I actually manage to wear all the pieces of a set at the same time? Um...sometimes? Occasionally? Ideally? But look, just knowing I have the option [...]
Another very spiffy swatch
Make that Two Very Spiffy Swatches. Because really, there's no reason you have to keep those fancy stitches marching along in lock step, neatly regulated by ribbing. You absolutely can work them on stockinette and offset them instead. And nothing bad happens. You might, in face, find that something awfully [...]
Spooky Knits Season
Miss Fizzy would like me to remind you we are now firmly in spooky knits season, and that she has you covered, should you have a black cat you'd like to irritate by attempting to make them wear a hat. Bonus shot of her two years when she was just [...]
The indecisive
See, the problem is that brioche just always looks spiffy on both sides. It makes things hard for the indecisive among us (me, I am the indecisive among us and am completely unable to pick a favorite side). There's also that thing where you can make tiny changes and it'll [...]
Indiscretion
Ooops. I may have committed a small indiscretion. Just a little one. Very small. Of no consequence. These things happen to the best of us. There is no need to be concerned. All will be well.
Amused
Remember how I told you the wee tiny needlebook needed an option to have pages in it? Yeeeeeeeah. So that's totally going to be a thing now. I shouldn't be, but I remain unspeakably amused.
Arcane Bargain
Ahem. Why yes, yes that is rather charming. Bonus points for being the Exact Same Colors as the hydrangeas in my yard. Because clearly Seven Sisters Arts made some sort of arcane bargain with the fairies at some point and now knows the secret to all the best colors. [...]
A very spiffy swatch
I may just possibly have indulged in a Very Spiffy Swatch. I mean mostly because it's just pretty, but at least partially so I can take some sort of official instructive photos for 'this is what it looks like with one color, this is what it looks like with two, [...]
Cables are sneaky
Cables? Cables are gorgeous but sneaky! They will shrink your fabric. There's a video version of this over here, should you wish to watch me flop them around and point to things and listen to me talk. Now, admittedly this is a particularly dramatic example! (The cabled panel and the [...]
August Housekeeping
August's housekeeping post is up. This month is cranberry nut bread. I use the word 'bread' here because then it's more acceptable to spread butter on it and have it for breakfast, though 'cake' might be a more accurate term if we were going for unsparing moral accounting of our [...]
