I love it when a plan comes together
So, when I said my brain likes exploring variations on a theme, I really did mean it. Remember I showed you the hat? And then I mentioned I'd been working on a little sampler with variations of the stitch I used on the hat? Yeah, that's the first picture. Because [...]
Monthly reminder
There are abortion pills in my medicine cabinet right now. Because if I get pregnant, I want an abortion. And I live in America, so I can't be confident I'll be able to go to a doctor and get one. If you or someone in your household can get pregnant, [...]
Just about done
Do I feel slightly bad saying this over and over again? I mean yes, but let's be real, I'm capable of feeling slightly bad about more or less anything. Because there's nothing like the internet to expose you to a wide enough swath of people that someone will be mad [...]
Next up!
This is all set to come out next week, and I want to talk through it a bit in case you want to have your yarn ready and waiting! All the drama in this hat comes from the embroidery, the hat itself is very mellow. When you’re embroidering on your [...]
Play
See those diagonal lines there? Yeah, they're made by slipping a stitch on one row, then working that stitch through the back loop on the next row. Which gives you a column of twisted and elongated stitches which are rather fetching (plus, you know, doing some stuff to make them [...]
Reminder

That works too
So, we've been talking about embroidering on things to mend them, and we've been talking about patterns where the plan from the beginning is to embroider on them. But there's something else you can do. You can totally decide to embroider on a pattern that didn't originally call for [...]
Amusements
For reasons I cannot adequately explain, much less justify, one of my very favorite things about the envelopes is embroidering the tiny little heart on as a stamp at the end. I fully acknowledge that this may very well amuse only me, that the rest of you may be regarding [...]
Braid
So the hat? The embroidered hat? Yeah, it has a lot of ends. Because, well, every piece of yarn you embroider with has two ends, and that's just how yarn works, and I'm not actually cool enough to change the fabric of reality. However. I can give you something else [...]
Dispatch
As promised, Dispatch is back! You can find it on ravelry or payhip. And just before anyone has a chance to ask, yes they open and close, yes you can put things in them! I mean you should know me well enough by now to know I wouldn't pass up [...]
