They’re Back!
It's that time again! Lots (and lots and lots) of the retired patterns are back for the next few days. Let's run down the details: You can find the retired patterns on both ravelry and payhip. You can tell which ones are retired because they'll have a big paragraph up at the [...]
Here’s the plan…
It's that time, the retired patterns will be back next week! Now, couple of caveats... - It's MOST of the patterns, but not all of them. Some are either old enough that I don't feel good letting anyone buy them or have publishing restrictions on them because they were part [...]
Thinking About Yarn, Part 2
So last time we talked about structure (single vs multiple plies). The next thing I like to think about when I am slotting yarns into my mental categories is yarn weight. As with last time, this is really meant to be a video, and if you want to see that, [...]
Underestimated
I may, just possibly, have underestimated the scale of the project. I am in kit mode, which means I am turning thiiiiiis pile of yarn (Seven Sisters Arts, and gorgeous it is, there are little bundles over here)... Into a more structured pile of yarn ... So that I can [...]
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 [...]
Throw Something
So most of them have plain glass ornaments in them. And that's lovely and dainty and delicate. But some days I am not interested in delicate. I am interested in hurling something. Hard. Which is why I am now the proud owner of quite a lot of styrofoam balls. For, [...]
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 [...]
