Well. Well then. You may expect that you will be seeing more of this. Quite a bit more. This yarn does exactly what I want yarn to do right now. And when that happens, well, you just have to embrace it.⁠ Yarn is Madeline Tosh's Triple Twist in Red Fox [...]

This is the sort of thing I was talking about yesterday (wander over to yesterday's post to see what I mean). This is a super fun way to handle the ends on this hat (well, this is my first pass at it where I'm just checking if the idea is [...]

Let's talk about this. Yes, there will be a pattern! But...⁠   I've been spending a lot of time lately thinking about what is and isn't feasible to put into a single pattern.⁠ Because wow oh wow is this one of those projects where my inclination is to add in [...]

See, I told you I had a different blue lined up ready to try out! And I'm pretty sure this is exactly what I wanted all along. I just had to, you know, lay hands on it in person rather than seeing it through a screen before I could be [...]

The way this finishes out at the top is deeply, deeply satisfying. I cannot pretend otherwise.⁠ There's going to be an additional panel there on the opposite quadrant (you can just barely see the start of one of the columns of stitches there in the distance). And then I have [...]

There we go, that's what I wanted on this side!⁠ ⁠ And I'm working on a slightly different blue for the other side, but I wanted to get this side finished up first.⁠ Now, every time I try a color, decide it's not for me, then try another one I [...]

Well darn. That blue is just not quite right, now is it.⁠   I mean don't get me wrong, it's a lovely blue! And it will go on to do lovely, blueish sorts of things at some point in the future. But it does not currently want to do this [...]

Ahem. That Will Do Quite Nicely Thank You. Quite nicely indeed. Now, we're not done...there are going to be several more columns of stitching and a few other bits of fancy business before we're done. But wow am I calling the proof of concept a success! Those bits of skinny [...]

One of these days...one of these days I really want to do a project where I get like a dozen different worsted weight yarns, send them to a dozen different sample knitters, say 'knit me a tube with x/y/z stitches, put a/b/c ribbing on the bottom bit, then knit stockinette [...]

Oh, oh there we go. That's the creamy, dreamy, ever so slightly steamy vibe I was going for. So, as a reminder, this bit of knitting is going to be a canvas on which to embroider a whole heaping stack of fancy business. Which means that, to a far greater [...]
