I know a bunch of you will cast on for these right away when they come out tomorrow, so I want to send you on a scavenger hunt today so you'll be all set. The spools need something inside to give them shape. Which sounds a bit vague, but I [...]

The little spools are all set to come out on Tuesday (standard 'assuming the malevolent forces that seem to be shaping the timeline do not strike me or my nearest and dearest down with whatever catastrophe they dream up next' disclaimer goes here, because apparently we need that these days, [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Did I have grand plans to knit an extra of each of the patterns that are coming back so I could talk about them and tell you little stories about them and give you soft fuzzy feelings about them? And so I'd have some sort of content to share with [...]

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 [...]
