Knitting is Autistic
Knitting is autistic...and so am I! Late last year I spent a truly delightful hour talking with two of the world's very coolest humans and recording an episode of The Autistic Culture Podcast. We talked about knitting and how it does good things for brains like ours and brains like [...]
Timing
The hat is now ready for the decreases. How do I know? Well, in this case, it's because of where I am in the pattern repeat (this one has a lot of rows, so there are only a couple of set points where it makes sense to do the decreases). [...]
Grumble grumble
Was it a promising start? Yes. Did I find something I wish I'd done differently (namely the decreases...I want the solid line to carry from the inside and curve along the expand-y gold bit, not go straight up the outside of each panel)? Alas, yes. Did I consider just dropping [...]
Monthly Reminder
Abortions are good!^ If you or someone in your household can get pregnant, I think you should have abortion pills in your medicine cabinet. Just in case. Because things are about to get bad. You can order abortion pills online from Aid Access. You can order them even if you're [...]
Flawless plan…
No really...I thought it was a flawless plan. Put the tree on the porch. Keep the cat away from the tree. Keep the needles away from the toes. And yes, yes that did work. It did! There are no cats in the tree and no needles in my socks. But...Also [...]
Fuzzy
I bought a sweater from Target. It's been through the washer three times. It's so covered in pills that even I, with my casual lifestyle and low personal standards, do not feel great about wearing it in public. So I'm going to (try to) fix it! But... Every time I post [...]
Fucking Festive
TL:DR for anyone else with a short attention span, all eight of these patterns + the two star books are over on this post for any Rampant Nonsense folks, they'll be there through the end of January. Did I wake up Friday, decide fuck it, I have enough stuff to fill [...]
Deck
I am doing a tree. With things I've made. And I'm going to do up a big bundle with all the patterns for whatever ends up on the tree... Details to come (quick and dirty summary here, the more thorough version will have to wait till tomorrow). But oh...if you've [...]
All in one place
Ok, folks are smitten, let's run down the details. First, the pattern is Drifts and it's in the usual spots (ravelry, payhip). And yes, it walks you through four different versions of the embroidery so you can make lots of different styles! The knitting on these is super chill. [...]
Bits…with caveats
Ok, people want the bits. And I get that, I do! But the truth is they are a) hard to find, b) expensive even if you do find them, and c) irritating to use. As in, the existing commercial tools to make these...well...kinda suck. And if you like to make [...]
