I'm trying to get in the habit of doing a little housekeeping post once a month. The theory is that it will give me a place to run down what's going away, what's coming next, and what's in progress. Plus show off a little non-knitting something or other because we [...]

You know what I hear all the time? Some variation of "I've never even seen a pattern like this before!" And I have to say, I kind of love hearing that. I try really hard to make my work special, and comments like that make me feel like I'm doing a [...]

Seeing as how restraint isn't my strong suit, I need you folks to decide if the wrapped variation finds its way into the embroidery project.⁠ ⁠ If we hit the goal I set up by the time it comes out, I'll put it in. If we don't no big deal, [...]

Look, sometimes you just want to show off. To do something solely because you can. To pull off a faintly ridiculous stunt. And let's be fair, that's absolutely what's going on here.

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 [...]
