Ok, so I'm feeling a general plan for these. Yeah, the mitts will come back as a pattern, and yeah I wanna do a hat to match. But I also sort of want to talk about the nerdy parts of that stitch. Like the mechanics of it. ⁠ Because you [...]

Yeah, so those purple mitts were a lovely reminder of just how much I enjoy knitting mitts. And how long it had been since I knit some. And how quick they are to bang out. So I might have cast on for some more. Accidentally you understand. Totally inadvertently. These [...]

Ok so the second mitt isn't hard. But somehow getting thumbs (as in, the teeny tiny tube that's often only about a hundred stitches and takes literally like half an hour to knit) taken care of often proves a surprisingly difficult task. What can I say. I am aware of [...]

See, I told you the top was spiffy. Well, technically this isn't the top, because I ripped this out and made a tiny and completely gratuitous tweak that no one but me will likely notice or care about (I decided I wanted the space between the petal looking bits to [...]

Today in 'things I didn't know existed and then instantly bought when I found out about them' are curtain weights. Well, let me be more specific. I knew about the long tubes of curtain weights (the ones that look like teeny tiny strings of sausages), but not about these button [...]
