First things first. Forthwith is out today, and it's 10% off on ravelry and payhip with the code PROMPTLY. ⁠ ⁠This project wins the prize for 'longest time from cast on to pattern release.' Which is frankly a shame, because it's an absolute delight.⁠ So much of a delight that [...]

See, I told you, appropriately confident. I did a provisional cast on, knit until I had about double the depth of fabric I wanted for the turned hem, then freed up the end of my provisional cast on and yoinked it. As I did, it slipped out of my work, [...]

So remember how I wasn't loving the ribbing on the orange and gray hat ('the' orange and gray hat I say, as if I didn't have, um, several things that could reasonably be called orange and gray hats within a few dozen feet of me at this very moment). Right, [...]

Pssst, the first of these two patterns is scheduled to come out Tuesday (you know, assuming the world doesn't do one of those things where the news or a more personal catastrophe makes it just too fundamentally awful to even think about bringing out something as inconsequential as a knitting [...]

See, this is the sort of stuff I love to play with. The hat with the embroidery on it from a few days ago (scroll back a bit if you didn't see it, it's rather smashing)? Yeah, each one of the columns of embroidery in that uses two strands of [...]

Folks I'm going to be honest with you. I do not know how to Do A Capitalism under these circumstances. Everyone I know enough to like & give a crap about is walking around exhausted & shell shocked & just completely out of reserves. And yet, we still need to [...]

This is your occasional reminder that I am pro abortion. Not just pro choice (though yes, of course, that too). Pro abortion. Because the alternatives are ghastly. And if that's a problem for you, I cordially invite you to see yourself out. (I know most of you are well aware [...]

Yeah. Yeah fine. I do indeed want something slightly different.⁠ Which means that by the time you see this picture, this yarn will have been yoinked out and even possibly knit back up into the next iteration.⁠ Because what I really want is a little turned hem down there on [...]

I...I think I want something slightly different. Not a different yarn, the yarn is just what I want. But a slightly different brim. So now I believe it's traditional to knit another inch or so to make sure I really do want to change it, and only then to rip [...]

Yup, as predicted. Smashing.⁠ The yarn is all smooth and round and just generally delightful.⁠ Sit tight, cast on is imminent!
