The Opposite of Suspense
Remember how I said I used yesterday's yarn math all the dam time? Yeah, it's how I knew I totally had enough yarn on hand to do a second version of this hat. And yeah, spoiler alert, if you look at yesterday's picture you can see I totally did and [...]
Yarn Math
I know math isn't everyone's favorite thing, but there's one Very Tiny Math Nugget that comes in super handy pretty much every time I knit something, so I want to make sure you have it in your bag of tricks. There's a point in pretty much every project where I [...]
Monthly Reminder
Every month I write a post saying "abortions are good" & send a donation to Aid Access. And this month, I've got something you can do to support abortion access! Well, something those of you registered to vote in Ohio can do, though I've got some ideas for the rest [...]
This is why
The cursed Victorian lampshade? Yeah, this is why you bother! Just look how nicely that sits when you take it off the wires. Totally worth it! The pattern is Evolve, and it's in all the usual places (or wander over to patreon, anyone there can just have it). Just pinky [...]
Fickle
Yup, scandalously unblocked, ends flapping in the breeze, and yet I love it still. But...But I want the zig zag on more of the hat. For I am a fickle and prone to exuberance. So there may be another hat in the works, but first, I gotta do that [...]
Cursed Victorian Lampshade
Cursed Victorian Lampshade 101, aka how to block a cowl! So, the new cowl is lacy, which means you want to block it under tension. And a lot of times that would mean pinning your fabric out on a blocking mat. But a cowl is a tube, so if you [...]
Evolve
Evolve is out! This is the pattern I found, in an astonishingly complete state, when I settled down to tidy up my hard drive the other day. Since it was nice little surprise for me, I figured I should pass that happy feeling on to other folks as well. [...]
Reasonable
Two things. One, this is just about ready for the decreases. Two, I am in no way ready to be done knitting on it. The only reasonable thing to do is knit another version. But first? First I have to finish this one and then break out the scale/raid the [...]
Worth waiting for
Ok now this? This was worth waiting for! The Constellate hat always wanted some mitts to go with it, but making a thumb grow nicely out of that stitch seemed hard back when that hat came out. But one of the cool things about coming back to favorite projects somewhere [...]
July Housekeeping
July's housekeeping post is up! This month we're doing, well, I call it yard soda. I suppose if I were being more formal, I'd call it something like wild yeast fermented cold infused something or other. But really, it's yard soda. It's like your favorite herbs and the very best [...]
