Sooooo, it looks like the kits with the bags are going to sell out before they get off Patreon have sold out. But dammit, I still want to show off these awesome scissors (because I'm going to be doing more things with them in the future). I don't know how to properly convey good scissor vs bad scissor without putting them in your hands and giving you something to cut, but a video is the closest I can do! I love these because they have enough room for my fingers (curses on tiny finger holes), they make a satisfying snick [...]

Sooooo I have a plan...I've figured out a way for folks who really really want the pouches (but maybe don't want a whole kit) to get them! This ties in nicely with my clever plan to knit as close to a tree full of ornaments as I possibly can between now and the holidays, and I think some of y'all are going to want to play along. Short version: Tomorrow (Thursday) morning I'll share a listing for the pouches on post on Patreon. There will be two options. Option 1: Stuff no yarn - this will have two pouches (one [...]

Remember the buttons I found on the side of the road? Yeah, well, I figured out what I'm going to do with (some of) them! We're clearly still in the draft and experiment stage of the proceedings here, but I'm pretty sure this is going to be glorious. Things I feel obliged to note (because I, for some reason, assume that any time I show anyone anything when it's not yet completely done that they will immediately spring up to point out all the things I should fix. And so feel as though I must, in turn, mention all those [...]

I've got exactly THREE 🥓 kits 🥓 with yarn left (and five without yarn). The preorders just went out, and the pattern is coming tomorrow! But if you missed the kit and you want one, you can wander over and find it now. So if you find yourself gripped with a sudden longing to make bacon (or have that cute pouch and my god the best scissors I've ever found), this is how you make that happen!

Bacon kits are ready to go out! Filled, taped, addressed, stacked in the garage awaiting the postman's visit tomorrow morning! (If you ordered one, you should get an email with tracking information once it gets scanned into the post office tomorrow night.) I'll have about eight or nine extra kits with yarn and three or four extra kits without yarn. I'll put those up for sale tomorrow (that's Tuesday in case you're reading this later). I'll leave them just for folks on Patreon for about a day to give anybody there who wanted it and missed it a chance to [...]

The button fairy has blessed me. The button fairy has blessed me, and I want to share her bounty with y'all! Anyone wanna let me send them some buttons? So, on Monday, as I was going to do a boring but necessary administrative task, I came across a pile of free stuff on someone's lawn. And in that pile were two big boxes of buttons. The speed with which I grabbed them and shoved them in my car, cackling with glee the whole time, is borderline shameful. I didn't have time to go through them in any detail on the [...]

So on Monday, while on the way to a boring administrative task which I expected to bring me no joy and which I was in fact slightly dreading, the roadside lottery pulled my name out of the hat. For I saw a big pile of stuff on the side of the road. And you know as well as I do that this is basically Hunter bait. So I pulled over and what did I behold but two giant boxes full of buttons. No really, quite full, lots and lots and lots of buttons. So of course I flung them in [...]
