The Better Alternative
I've figured out how we can bring back some old friends! Read on for details. As a quick reminder, last summer I took down all my patterns. I did this in part because I'd gotten better at writing patterns over the years and wasn't happy with the earlier [...]
Possible
Yeah...so...this is what happens when my brain says 'I mean, it should be *possible* do three color brioche, right?' You'll note my brain did not say 'it will be easy to do three color brioche' (it was not). Nor did it say 'it will be fun to do [...]
Sleeves
Remember the cute little embroidery stitch? And how everyone wanted to know if you could run it up the sleeve of a sweater? And I kept saying yes, yes of course you can! Well I went ahead and did it. And I'm kind of smitten! You can watch me try [...]
Messy middle bits
You know that thing where you get an idea, and it won't leave you alone, and then you find yourself surrounded by a heap of scraps and bits of thread and crumples of paper and snippets of fabric and cryptic notes and mugs of cold tea and possibly tear-stained tissues [...]
Let’s block these…
Ok, so a fair number of folks get kiiiiiinda up in their heads over blocking. And I need to wash & block these today. So I'm just going to do it live. Keep an eye on instagram stories for what's going on, I'll keep filling them in over the course [...]
Occupied
I mean I would like to show you this hat. It's lovely. I think you'll like it. But it is currently...occupied. And I'm sure you understand that we mustn't disturb such a royal fellow. But some time soon here, I'll give you a better look at what's going on!
Amusing
These started life as a personal project. For you see, I am a board game person. And not just a board game person, but one of those people whose enjoyment of a board game is substantially increased if the various bits and pieces of the game are...cute. So it [...]
Shiny
Yeah, yeah I know. This looks ridiculous. I'm not suggesting you walk around with this on your hat! But I did want to show just how much of a difference it can make if you work with different materials. From left to right these are: - the same yarn the [...]
Not the worst reason
I mean yes, the quail eggs I found for sale on the side of the road are at least partially responsible for deciding to bring this back out. But really, that is not the worst or the strangest reason I've ever done something like this. So I can't bring myself [...]
Hatched
Ok so yes, we do not normally do this on weekends. But I heard some of you might be on a bit of a deadline for filling Easter baskets, and I have a bit of Life Stuff going on early next week, so I thought perhaps no one would mind [...]
