Wanna see what inspired the weekend's festivities? When I walked into my office Saturday morning, in the middle of a snowstorm, my photo rock looked like this. That's our friends the owl, snowmen, & fox hanging out there with their new buddy the penguin, all hanging out in a pile. [...]

So we're having the first (and very possibly only) big snow storm of the winter. So I took a few of my favorite little friends out for a snow day and we're having a sale! The following patterns are 50% off from now until when I decide the snow day [...]

Here's the plan, plus some bonus uncomfortable honesty, just for fun! Some time next week, I'll send an updated version of the Penchant pattern to folks on the mailing list. That's the pattern these hats are from. The pattern covers both hats but not the embroidery. Then, a week or [...]

I mean I did tell you this was going to be nifty. ⁠ The hats and I are heading back to the beach for photos, round two, now with embroidery. And then at some point in the not too distant future (by which I mean probably next week, but I [...]

Yeah, no, I meant it about that sort of greeny/gold mystery color that I can never truly name but that sings to me just the same. Especially when it absolutely glows like this. I mean how can you not love that. That's Little Skein Anne's yarn in the knitting, and [...]

Remember how, ever since Roe v Wade was overturned, I've been saying that abortion pills are safe and effective and you can order them online in all 50 states? Well, there's a case in front of a Texas judge right now that wants to change that. The lawsuit is trying [...]

Yeah, so, I apparently have two sets of colors I like. Pinky/purpley/orange. And pondscummy green/seaglass. Which explains whey I just sort of happened to have the perfect color of fuzz hanging around to doodle on this hat. And that plan? That plan that's starting to come together rather nicely? Yeah, [...]

Oooooooh, remember that lovely goldy/green hat from a few weeks ago? Yeah, so I actually finished it and took it to the beach for a photoshoot earlier this week. But I use the word 'finish' loosely here, because then I spent yesterday doing something spiffy to it. I have a [...]

So I mean yes, working these straight up and down is lovely and tidy and orderly. And I think the very first time you do it, you should probably go with the straight version, because it's the simplest. But once you've played with it just a tiny tiny bit, and [...]
