Our cabled friends are all set to come back next week! And as always, I'll make some copies available through the Community Supported Pattern fund. The Community Supported Pattern fund is the best way I've found to balance a couple of conflicting truths: - One, things are hard right now [...]

Monsieur Levon and Miss Fizzy have graciously assisted me in The Washing Of The Sweaters.* If you wish to read a lengthy exegesis on the process, including how often I wash my sweaters, what goes in a load, why I regard my washing machine as a glorified sink, and what [...]

Ok so can we talk about cables? And how, if you work them over the right kind of ribbing, they do *this*? Because that is pretty nifty. That's two sides of the same hat (I struggle to call them the right side and wrong side because clearly neither of those [...]

Should I be this amused with this thumb? Nope. Am I? Yup. Do I secretly suspect some of you share this character flaw? I mean honestly, at this point I assume you wouldn't be here if you didn't... Someone please tell me that nifty thumbs are to mitts as spiffy [...]
