Behind the scenes
Wanna see The Single Most Disappointing behind the scenes photo ever? I mean I'm assuming yes, because people are like that... So the stars? The stars that look achingly beautiful and downright ethereal and almost enchanted once you have them in the window with the light of a brilliant winter [...]
Ew. Feelings. Gross.
So I'm loving having a smaller catalog. It's doing exactly what I'd hoped. I'm So Much Less Overwhelmed! However... I've heard from lots of you that there are things you want to make & can't because the patterns aren't available. And that gives me the weirdest mix of lovely feelings [...]
Ooops
Yeeeeeah, so you know how one project sometimes gives you An Idea and turns into a whole new project? Even if you didn't exactly mean for it to? Even if you weren't precisely ready for a new project? Yeah. About that... These kind of need a swatch (look, I'm sorry, [...]
Last call for kits!
Last call for kits! The preorder for the amazing kits that Little Skein Anne put together for Bookmarked is ending this weekend. If you find yourself desperate to make a tiny knitted book (fair, fair, who among us has not felt the urge) but slightly leery of tracking down all [...]
Q&A

Star Stuff
The star book is just about ready! But I suspect a few of you may want to have your supplies ready when it comes out, so I wanted to do a quick run down of the things I use to make my stars. Paper The paper you use for these [...]
Almost done!
The star book is juuuuuust about done! I spent yesterday afternoon outside getting pictures (they require the sun to be both bright and low in the sky, which happens for about 20 minutes on November afternoons in Maine, so it requires precision timing). The plan is for the book to [...]
Sneaky Plan
The Sneaky plan is nearing completion. By which I mean all the components are knit, and blocked, and the ends woven in. And the pattern parts are written. And the scheming part is done (mostly...sometimes a scheme appears out of the blue and catches you by surprise and you have [...]
There was a plan
So there was this whole plan whereby I was supposed to take pictures of those two baby hats you've been seeing around these parts on Friday. And then that didn't end up happening for a variety of good and valid reasons. Which in turn meant that I had time yesterday [...]
Just this once
Ok fine. Fine it really is easier to see how these go together if they're moving around. So I shall fight my natural resistance to all things video and (grudgingly) wiggle them around a bit for the camera. But only because they're so damn cool that it feels like a [...]
