Thinking About Yarn, Part 1
Ok...y'all are as interested in this sensory issue thing as I am. So, I'm going to try (emphasis on try, taking something that happens real deep down in your brain and putting it into words and then into someone else's brain is not always as easy as you might like) [...]
Sensory Issues
Let’s talk about sensory issues and yarn! I’m autistic, and I have a LOT of sensory issues, and they very much dictate what yarn I like and use. I’m not alone (and lots of us HAVE sensory issues without KNOWING we have sensory issues). I was talking with someone who [...]
Not-so Friendly Reminder
For the avoidance of doubt—if you voted for him, you're not welcome here. I do not want you as a follower. Or a customer. Or a friend. I think you are a bad person. You voted for someone who will gleefully make the lives of women & people of color [...]
Should we do kits?
Should we do kits for this pattern? Because I get the impression that there are folks out there who want to make these, but do not want to go out and find all the pieces. And I get that! But also, I kinda already found them. So if we were [...]

More Distraction
Testing call up over on patreon (it's a public post, you absolutely do not have to be a paid member to test). I suspect I shall be making an entire snowday's worth of these over the weekend. Because they are soothing, and my brain needs that right now. I hope [...]
Soothing distraction
Look, I am absolutely 100% aware that I am using these as a soothing distraction while my brain comes to terms with the fact that we've just cheerfully elected a convicted felon instead of a competent woman, and that I am watching my country turn ever more fascist. I am [...]
It worked
Have I felt like knitting, At All, for the last two months? Nope. Did this freak me out? Eh, yes and no. I know it tends to happen this time of year. And I know it's always been temporary. At least so far. But also yes at least a little, [...]
Evidence
The chop was a success, and I decided the cuffs needed to get a trim to match. Because to do otherwise would bug me. I don't make the rules, I just live here. And when I went to trim them, what did I find but evidence of a previous bit [...]
Chop
This sweater has languished in the back of my closet for years because I no longer like how it fits. For you see, I used to be convinced sweaters were morally obligated to come down well past my hips, lest the world be distressed by the presence of my ass. [...]
