Let’s fix it
Is there a pattern you'll miss but didn't buy because there's no room in the budget? Not even if it's on sale? Not even if it's going away? Because if so, I want to fix that. Well, I can't fix the stuff that's making everything so hard right now. But [...]
Thank you
I am overwhelmed. The response to the sale has been astonishing. It's time to do some good. We're giving $10,000.00 to Mabel Wadsworth, my local abortion provider. You made this possible. Full disclosure, I thought I'd go to their website, send it, and share a pic. But the site only [...]
Last Call!
All my patterns are going away shortly. Most aren't coming back. Use the code LAST CALL to take 40% off before they're gone. Quick version, because I know we're all frazzled: • Later this month, I'm taking all my books and patterns down as part of a bunch of changes [...]
I wish to
Yesterday I mentioned that, as part of the preparation for the Shiny New Thing, I am about to discontinue all my patterns. A few of my favorites will come back as part of the Shiny New Thing. Most will not. Nearly everyone was lovely about this! A few folks were...less [...]
A very solid plan…
I have a plan. It's a great plan! But as part of said plan, MOST OF MY EXISTING PATTERNS ARE GOING AWAY FOR GOOD. I'm working on a post about what comes next, but I'm not ready to share all the details just yet. But I am ready to say [...]
Pins
Look, I never said I wasn't easily amused. I fully admit to being scandalously easily amused. But also, I have been actually sewing stuff, like with a sewing machine. And that means I've been interacting with pins way way way more than anyone really needs to. And it turns out [...]
Revel in your accomplishments
And there it is dry and with the wires out. The second picture is pretty much the exact same shot before it was blocked so you can see the difference. The fabric is relaxed. The stitch pattern is clear with crisp lines of decreases and nice open yarn overs. The [...]
Hang to dry
Now all we need to do is hang it up and wait for it to dry. You may have noticed I haven't said anything about getting your fabric wet yet. That's because I do not like weaving the wires through damp fabric. It just feels icky in my hands (and [...]
Quick check in
This...this is mostly here because it has a certain low budget space princess vibe that amuses me. But it is a good chance to take a moment and see how different fabric looks when it's under tension. Compare it to how it looked before. In the first picture, you've got [...]
Second wire
Next step, do pretty much the exact same thing up top. This really is exactly the same process as at the bottom, so I'll just sort of vaguely gesture at the previous post and assume you can handle it. Just pick your point, run your wire through, work your way [...]
