Not Today
I'm shutting things down for the general strike on Friday (more info on the strike here). Except it's a manual process, not something I can automate for a specific time, I am for sure not staying up past my bedtime tonight nor setting an alarm to get up in the [...]
Not the knitting police
Not the knitting police, but I sure do have opinions. The one I knit with the wonky yarn weighs 5% more than the one I knit with the regular yarn. Yes, some of the unevenness will block out… But if you're using 5% more yarn for the same number and [...]
Yarn Ramen
Yes to snack ramen, no to yarn ramen. If yarn sits in fabric for a while, it will hold the shape of the stitches. Soak it and let it dry to get it back to its original state before you knit with it or else your fabric will be wonky [...]
Two Things
One, I'm reclaiming the yarn from this swatch (look here if you want to watch me pull it out...) which means unraveling it, putting it water until it's absolutely soaked all the way through, then hanging it to dry. If all the kinks don't come out, you didn't soak it [...]
What’s next?
As promised, more details on the new patreon tiers! TL;DR version right up top: I'm streamlining my patreon tiers, but you don't need to change anything if you don't want to! If you do nothing, you'll keep (or lower) your current prices and automatically get the stuff that comes with [...]
Retirement Party
As promised, a few more details on what's going and what's staying! I'm reorganizing my patterns into a Core Collection—a dozen patterns that I plan to have more or less permanently available (thought it's always possible there will be adjustments if a new pattern comes along to claim one of [...]
Ch-ch-ch-changes
I've got that itch again. The one that says 'burn it all down, start over'. So I'm changing some stuff! TL;DR version right up top: Turns out I get to feeling itchy when I have too many things available at one time. So I'm stripping the patterns down to a [...]
Halfday
So I knit a mini hat to take the instructional photos for the Snowday pattern. (Why yes, yes I was that obnoxious kid who did extra math problems in gradeschool, why do you ask?) And I suspect one or two of you might possibly want to make it. So I [...]
Don’t wear the cute boots
Ahem, just in case anyone is wondering what it looks like if you pull back a few feet, the pictures that end up looking like this... look like this from a bit farther back... Yes it's cold (it's January in Maine, I was delighted it was in the 30s not [...]
Snowday
Snowday is out on both Ravelry and Payhip. And oh, oh it feels weird to try and do my job right now, because everything is on fire and all I want to do is hide. But hiding is not an option, so we shall be loud instead. So here's what [...]
