Deviltry
Right. So. The urge to stab something persists. But so does the deep and abiding need to make cute things that bring me (and hopefully some of you) a little bit of joy when everything feels grim. And that means I end up knitting things like this! If you are [...]
It’s not…
'But what's it for?' is officially one of my top three least favorite questions. Sometimes it's not *for* anything. It's just...a little dude. A little guy. A little buddy. A little thing that you can make and hold and play with. And yeah, sure, fine. You can probably find something [...]
Monthly Reminder
Monthly Reminder! Abortions are good. Abortion pills are safe and effective up to 13 weeks. You can order abortion pills online. Even if you're not pregnant right now. Even if you cannot afford to pay for them. Even if you live in a state with a ban. Abortion information is [...]
Unsupervised
Ahem. Again, I cannot stress enough how much these things are destined to happen when I am left unsupervised. You know it. I know it. It's really just best not to fight it. Yes, I'm going to get it ready for you as soon as I possibly can! In the [...]
Tall Tails
Oh, oh I love the tails. The perfect, poseable little tails. The perfect, poseable tails with their tiny little points. I just know they use them to get up to all sorts of mischief!
Toy? Tool? Both?
Do I, or anyone anywhere need this? I'm going to say no. Nope. No one truly needs to quickly knit i-cord in quantity. Has that stopped me? Clearly not. I like this one, by Prym, because it's sturdy and the mechanism works smoothly, even when you do things it is [...]
Again
My country is inaugurating a fascist rapist today. Again. Instead of a competent woman. Again. And that's doing a number on my brain, so I'm going to spend the day working on the next iteration of this. It's one giant piece of paper folded up to make several pockets. The [...]
Tidy up
Now that all three stitches are in place, you can go back and tidy them up. It's likely to be an iterative process. Tighten them a little, stretch the fabric, tighten them a little more, stretch it again, keep going like that until it looks right. Once it's done, tie [...]
Sloppy
Start by duplicate stitching over stitch below the wonky bit, and leave your stitches big and sloppy. No really, biiiiiiig and sloppy. Looser is better. Then duplicate stitch over the miscreant and just...put it in the right way. I know, you have to look at it and see what the [...]
We can fix it
We can fix it…or at least hide it! Way back at the beginning of the hat, I worked a left leaning decrease where I should have worked a right-leaning decrease. And that means the wrong stitch is on top in this column of yellow stitches. Now, the ‘right’ way to [...]
