Maybe we keep one…
Every time the retired patterns come back for a couple days, I find myself thinking 'damn some of these are cute, maybe we should move one of them over to the regular rotation.' So I pulled out The Big Box Of Doom and pulled out some contenders. I suspect I could be convinced to bring at least one of these back some time later this year. In no particular order, we've got: Glazed (the donuts with beads for sprinkles) Peached (the peach, and also, somewhat confusingly, the apple) Foxed (the fox, buddies with Chilled and Tufted) Foghorn and Belfry (the [...]
They’re back!
I know you folks miss some of the older patterns. And I know I cannot quite manage to have all of them up all of the time. So, as a compromise, I bring most of the retired patterns back for a few days twice a year. This week is the week, so if there's something you've been missing, now's your chance! Most (not every single one, but most) of the retired patterns are back on both ravelry and payhip from July 22, 2024-July July 28, 2024. They’ll come down sometime the morning of the 29th, I can’t say exactly when. [...]
Creative blocking
I mean you can't really say I'm not committed to blocking. I've even put these absurdities on the internet for all to see. But really, it's a funny shape, and this is the best way to block it. Regardless of how absurd it looks in the moment...
Continuing shape
The very shapely shape continues to be a shape. You can watch it be shapeish over here...
Advance Planning
Quick summary up top: Many of the retired patterns will be back for a few days next week. They'll be on ravelry and payhip on Monday, July 22. I'll post when everything is live. They come back at a discount, but folks who let me email them (whether by being a patreon member or by being on the mailing list) will get a little something extra. They'll go away again on Monday July 29. More detailed version for those with questions: It's many of the retired patterns, not all. There are some that are either too old for me to feel good [...]
Very shapey shape
Aaaand here's the one worked in the round. As usual, video version where we flop it around and wiggle it over here. For alas, the dictates of physics mean I cannot show you the top and bottom of this object at once in any sort of practical way. Here it is blocking... And the top, when released from its contraption. And the bottom. And the ongoing 'hey, here's how I think about this stuff, here's how the charts are structured' series on patreon is over here!
Shape is very shape
Shape is very shape...excellent shape qualities...absolutely and unquestionably a shape. This works better with the floppy around version, as seen over here. I'm doing a little thing over on patreon where I talk about how these come together...like how they take shape in my head and what the charts for them look like. Wander over if you're so inclined!
Shape
No, no I don't know what it is just yet. It's mostly...it's mostly just a shape. But it's a cool shape. A bendy shape. A curvy shape. And sometimes that's all you really need to get started with...
Concerns
I mean this at least looks like something you could envision fitting a foot into. We'll press the foot form into service here in a sec so that those of you with...shall we call them reasonable concerns...can reassure yourselves that I have not completely lost track of the shape of a human foot.
