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 [...]
Gratuitous feelings
Ok can I just be super sappy for a moment? Because you folks are making me so damn happy...These books have a surprising amount of big tender feelings hidden in them. I had the idea for them, um, a long long time ago. Like over two years ago. I knew [...]
Bookmarked
Bookmarked is out, and I'll answer the most important questions first. Yes, you can open them, yes you can put things in them! I mean really, I'm not a monster. I wouldn't give you an adorable little knitted book and not put a secret compartment inside. None of us have [...]
Monthly Reminder
Here's your monthly reminder that abortions are good, I am staunchly pro abortion, and if you support me, I will absolutely give some of your money to causes I believe in. My very first patreon goal was to set up a recurring donation to help pay for abortions, and that's [...]
Soon!
The book pattern is coming out later this week (Wednesday this week instead of Tuesday because I'm guessing lots of you will be off voting on Tuesday), so let's run through a few things so everyone is ready! 1) If you want an email when it comes out, make sure [...]
The general shape of things
Ok, so the star book is...delightfully close to done! It starts with a general guide to making the stars (things like supplies and folding advice and how to put them together and how to hang them), then has folding instructions for 6 different stars. It's clocking in at 90 pages, [...]
Orderly
This week featured a whole bunch of complicated and frustrating life stuff that I can't actually do much about. And my usual response to that particular feeling is well then point me at something I can do something about so I can feel a bit more in control. So I [...]
