New box of pencils
I firmly believe embroidering on your knitting is the closest thing to coloring you can do with fabric. And sometimes? Sometimes a package comes in the mail and it feels exactly like a fresh box of colored pencils. Yarn is Little Skein Anne and everything she does is magic. This [...]
Send a little love
So you know how I said I'd occasionally bring back some of my favorite patterns? Yeah, well this one (Dispatch), has been by far one of the most requested. And I know a whole bunch of folks like to make them to tuck little love notes in for Valentines Day, [...]
January Housekeeping
Herbs in the garden in January in Maine means we're doomed. But doomed is more fun with herb-y brown butter rice krispie treats than without them, so I might as well have a snack. I made these on stories the other day and a shocking number of you suddenly found [...]
Holey, part 5
See, it gets cooler the more you fill it in. Good taste suggests I show a modicum of restraint and call this bit finished. Wouldn't want to overdo it... Though there are a few other holes on this sweater, so I suspect the absurdities will continue for a bit yet. [...]
Holey, part 4
Ok see, I told you it gets better if you keep going! The trick really is to just keep at it. One looks lonely, two or three look kinda sad. But once you start to get a whole bunch of them all hanging out together, they get cuter and cuter. [...]
Variations 8
Last one! Thank you all for indulging me while I played with my new toy. I realize it may well have had that 'small child asks you if you'd like to meet their favorite stuffed animals' vibe. This is star F from the book with fold 6 nudged out [...]
Holey, part 3
Ok real talk, It Always Looks Kinda Underwhelming At The Beginning. No really, I finally figured this out. EVERY time I go to stitch on a hole, I spend the first half hour I'm stitching thinking ew, this is not good, why am I so bad at this, I suck, [...]
Variations 7
Ok, so this one in particular makes me really really want to do a whole set of these where they've got six points like a snowflake. I'm blaming the lovely soft blue. It's totally doable, you just have to resign yourself to sliiiiiiightly fiddlier folds at the start. But really, [...]
Holey, part 2
So the first step in mending is always assessing the situation and making a plan. In this case, the situation is a couple of midsized (about the size of my thumbnail) holes in a dark pajama sweater (meaning a sweater I only really wear around the house). And the plan [...]
Variations 6
Yup, yup I continue to be easily amused. Fairly sure it would be appropriate to carve 'easily amused' on my tombstone when the time comes. There are worse ways to be. This (colorful picture) is star E from the book made with slightly wider paper, with the bottom point folded [...]
