I mean...I did swatch this out before hand to be safe...I suspected it would work out just fine. But there's something about seeing it in its proper form that's just more satisfying. Because really...this is so much more fun than it has any right to be. Like I should be ashamed of myself.  I'm not.  Because me feeling unseemly amounts of glee over my own knitting hurts absolutely no one.  But I should be.  

Incise is out on ravelry (and you'll find info about the introductory discounts on the ravelry page). You know that thing where you just sort of don't know when to stop?  Yeah, that's very much my thing!  I may possibly have invented that thing.  This all started when I got distracted by just how awesome slip stitch patterns are.  With just knits, purls, and slipped stitches you can make a seemingly endless variety of fabrics...all while only ever using one color per round (because blast it all...proper colorwork still feels hard to me). So I indulged myself in that for [...]

Ok, so we're going to run out of days before we run out of hats... I mean don't worry, the hats are all done and ready to go.  But I try not to post on here every day (because really...you'll get quite sick of me), so we're going speed this one up a bit. Let's pretend it went from that up there to this right here in the blink of an eye!  I'm going to assume you can more or less imagine that there was a middle stage there in between where it was shorter and just leave that as [...]

Remember when we talked about how the world at large is pretty damn racist and that carries right on over to the knitting community...no matter how much you wish it didn't?  Yeah, well it's an ongoing conversation and I've got some more stuff I think you should read (and for the record, it's good that the conversation is continuing...this isn't a 'think about it once and then congratulate yourself for having thought about it and be done with it' sort of issue). There is a great article over on Vox that talks about what's been going on (if you're on [...]

Two down, one to go! As predicted, the top is indeed smashing. Now if you'd just kindly come over and knock out the third one for me...   [pextestim pex_attr_set="looking-for-this-pattern" pex_attr_autoplay="false"][/pextestim]

Yeah, so the only reason it's feeling even slightly feasible to bang three of these out is because they're worsted.  It's sort of making me think that if I ever do break down and do a sweater (not likely) that it will absolutely have to be worsted weight (nope...still too slow...but I can see the appeal). This one will, I suspect, also be awfully shiny on the crown. Just need to sneak in a few more rounds to make sure!   [pextestim pex_attr_set="looking-for-this-pattern" pex_attr_autoplay="false"][/pextestim]
