You know how, when you've been in the middle of a big project for a long time, and it starts to wrap up, it's sometimes a bit...disorienting? Like you were so in it for so long that you got kind of used to that um, let's say 'heightened,' level of [...]

Ok, I can't keep it to myself any longer. My name is Hunter Hammersen, and I knit Tiny Nonsense!⁠ ⁠ That big project? The one I spent the first half of the year quietly working on and the last three months not so quietly working on? Yeah, this is it!⁠ [...]

And here we have Tufted, the last of the six returning patterns! If you're one of the folks who asked me to let you know when I was ready to start sharing the Shiny New Thing, and you've checked your email recently, you'll know why I needed to show this [...]

There was a plan, but plans can change! The plan was initially 'knit up all the returning patterns so you can show them off and talk about them.' But somehow knitting time is scarce when you're trying to...do all the things. So the new plan is 'you can just go [...]

So while I did not actually manage to knit a brand new house, I do have something new to show you. Well, no, the towers are not actually new. I knit them back when I knit the houses, I just didn't share them when I first knit them. I didn't [...]

Ok, back to needles! We talked about whether you need to use DPNs (no, use anything that lets you knit in the round) and how to think about gauge for tiny things (usually 'make a dense fabric' rather than 'hit a specific gauge'). But there are times you need to [...]

I only like these a completely normal and reasonable amount. The amount most people would like them. Not at all the amount that would cause a person's friends to privately express concerns about their welfare or decision making skills. Yup. The totally normal and correct amount. For sure. They'll be [...]

The folks at MaineTransNet Youth reached out to let me know that you've gotten their queer youth craft club all stocked up! You are amazing, thank you so much! The folks organizing the club need to be careful that they don't end up with more supplies than they can use/store, [...]

I truly cannot decide if I like the big ones or the tiny ones better...   The big ones I made as magnetic pin trays + pattern weights to use as I'm sewing, thus pushing them into the 'at least theoretically useful' category. But the tiny ones are just so [...]
