Here's the four-color version (because sometimes two colors isn't enough), again in both a tighter and looser spacing. Now, of course you don't actually have to work it in four colors. You can work it in just one or do it with two strands of one color and two of [...]

The feral goblin in my head who likes to cause trouble: Hey, hey you know those hearts you like to knit? Think you could make one all thick/3d/like those little candy hearts?⁠ The adult I pretend is in charge: I mean sure, I could do that, I see how I'd [...]

I've been thinking about how best to show off all the variations on this stitch, and I decided on basically making what is more or less a sampler. Which mean I spent a not-inconsiderable amount of time over the last little while creating two big, plain rectangles of fabric (because [...]

Should this amuse me as much as it does? Probably not.⁠ Am I going to let that stop me? Clearly not.⁠ Am I the only one smitten? Hopefully not.⁠ Don't worry, the stitching on my stitching phase will pass soon enough (they always do, I can already feel the faint [...]

Miss Fizzy would like you to know that she has been testing out the sampler piece I made to show off the variations of the stitch on tomorrow's hat, and she finds it perfectly suitable for light napping. Though to be fair, she is quite capable of napping the most [...]

Should we add this in to the embroidery project? I can't quite decide, so you folks get to make up my mind for me... I thought I was done playing with variations of the lovely stitch. I really did. But then I found One More Thing to play with. Because [...]

On Tuesday, February 1, I'm going to get up, have a cup of tea, sit down at my computer, and take the star book down. Patrons at the Utter Nonsense and Rampant Nonsense levels have until then to download it for free as part of their membership. ⁠ I may [...]
