Clearly
So what it needed was a knitted page, right? I mean clearly that's right! Which do you like best? The pattern for these should be out in a day or two! Do the usual thing if you want to hear when it arrives!
Significantly less so
Knitting is a venerable and practical craft that can make objects that are both beautiful and useful. At least until I come along and have my way with it. At which point it becomes significantly less respectable.
Scandalized
See, I knew I should have faith in all of you. Or at least I should trust that you all also exist in bodies and aren't easily scandalized! Oh and I really did mean it when I said I'm making a stack of these. Little Skein Anne might have sent me a whole box of some absolutely delicious linen and silk yarn and I might be planning to turn most of it into...well...into care and comfort and compassion. Because that's a pretty neat thing to do with yarn if you ask me. Plus bonus points for how brioche looks nifty [...]
Loaded
Wanna see how much stuff we can fit in one of these? I'm flopping this one around and loading it up over here.
Monthly Reminder
Every month I write a post saying “abortions are good!” and send a donation to @AidAccess to support their work providing abortion pills to people who need them. This month I also want to encourage you to start following a couple of accounts that talk about abortion, because the more informed you are, the better care you can take of both yourself and the people in your life. These are some of my favorite resources: If you need abortion pills or help finding an abortion provider: Aid Access (@aidaccess), Plan C Pills (@plancpills), I Need An A (@ineedanacom), [...]
Reproduce
Oh...oh dear...I think they might be learning to work together. I fear they might be learning to knit. Which, ok fine. I suppose every organism finds a way to reproduce itself. If you want to do your part to increase the population of tentacles, the pattern is out and it's called Gripping (and if you want someone to put together all the various bits and pieces for them all in one tidy little package, Little Skein Anne has absolutely marvelous kits that do just that). But I do have some qualms about the knitting learning to knit. Because really, if [...]
Gripping
Our Tentacled Overlords have made landfall. Please remain calm. Local authorities are aware of the situation and will update you as soon as more information is available. In the meantime, should you wish to knit a small tentacle of your own, either as a welcoming gesture to our new Overlords or as a ward against the grasping horror of the deep, I've got you covered. Gripping is out on both ravelry and payhip, and the code TENTACLE will take 15% off in either place through Friday (and of course, Rampant Nonsense patrons get the pattern for free as part of [...]
Polite Society
The wee swirly bit of business from a few days ago? Yeah, it was lovely to see everyone speculating on it, but now I fear I may disappoint you when you learn what it really is. I am knitting myself a pile of absolutely magnificent washcloths. And I'll be honest, my first inclination was to say absolutely nothing about the project. It somehow feels too...personal? private? intimate? to discuss online. I'm not quite sure actually, but it feels like the sort of thing that a respectable person should keep behind closed doors and not even hint at in polite society. [...]
Better or worse?
Is tentacles in pointy hats better or worse than tentacles with potions? I mean like from a safety and security angle. To be frank, they both seem to pose certain risks. Though I have to admire the dedication to hat wearing in creatures that don't, strictly speaking, have heads. It's impressive! The tentacle pattern should be out early next week, so this seems like a good time to remind folks about my Community Supported Pattern program. I know not everyone has room in their budget for little indulgences right now, so I always make a handful of copies available for [...]
