Treats
There I was, innocent as a lamb (no), minding my own business (nope), up to no trouble at all (again, no), out on one of those small excursions that happen at the start of daunting undertakings (this bit's true at least), and what do I find but an unexpected yarn store (Fiber & Vine). The delightful kind where you walk in, not having planned to go to a yarn store that day, and walk out with treats. In case that big smushy stuff is Manos del Uruguay's Franca in Marshmallow, and the floofy stuff is Ella Rae's Silky Kid in [...]
So inclined
You can, should you be so inclined, spend the weekend making any of these things. The knitted hearts are Palpitation, the knitted envelope is Dispatch, and the teeny tiny heart sprinkles are nameless but completely delightful (and you can find the instructions for them right over here). You know, just in case you want to spend the day spreading a little love around!
Geometric?
Still tidy. Still amusing. About to become rather...geometric? Geometric might be the right word. Anything that has me googling to figure out what a shape is called probably counts as geometric, right?
Swooooopy
This is, thanks to the limitations of space and time, the closest I can come to shoving this on your hand, having you woggle your wrist back and forth, and listening to you go oooooooh, swoooooopy. Because the 'oooooh, swoooopy' bit is pretty much a given anytime anyone puts them on. The way they wrap around your hand is just too satisfying to do anything else. And really...I designed the silly things. I knit them (twice). I drew the charts and wrote the instructions. And still every time I pick them up I go 'wait, where does that thumb come [...]
Tidy
Oh...oh this is going to be fun. And tidy, because we all know I have a fondness for tidy. But mostly just fun. And a tiny tiny tiny bit nostalgic, in a way that will make sense in a bit.
Forthwith & Posthaste
You know how I said I can occasionally be convinced to bring some of the retired patterns back to stay? Yeah, well, these have been on my mental list of patterns that really do deserve to come back for a while now. They were only out for a few months before I changed everything up (so they never really got their chance to shine). They're one of the most asked after retired patterns (I do try to keep track of what folks are asking about). And I am unspeakably proud of how that thumb goes together (no really, it's clever [...]
Loved to bits
Wanna make some tiny, gleeful, ridiculous bits of good cheer? Because I can totally help make that happen! The instructions for the wee tiny bits of joy (not quite confetti, not quite glitter, but somehow possessing the magic of both) are over here for anyone who wants them. There's a nifty little code for 50% off Palpitation or Dispatch (those are the knitted hearts and envelope in the photos) in there too, just in case you want to make some knitted bits of glee to go along with the shiny bits. But really, spend an hour or two playing with [...]
Unsupervised
Yeah. Look. These things happen if I'm left unsupervised. You know you want to play too.
Questionable Nonsense
As promised, I've decided to replace our monthly housekeeping post (where I outlined what was coming & going on patreon and then distracted you with a recipe, which required me to clean my kitchen enough to take pictures, and which was therefore hard), with a monthly advice column/Q&A session (where I will also outline what is coming & going on patreon, but then I will answer a couple of questions from you folks, which just requires me to write about stuff I know and like, which is ever so much easier)! This month's questions are about how I started doing [...]
