Don’t panic!

Did you just knit your first shapely little friend? Are you feeling slightly troubled, wondering how to get from what you're holding in your hands to what you see in the pattern pictures? Well don't fret, it's supposed to look weird for a moment there at the end. You didn't make a mistake! When you're done, they'll look sort of like this. The one on the top right is a curved one, the one on the top left is a level one, and the one in the bottom center is one of the variations.   You have to fold these in [...]

I'm picking testers later this morning (testing thread is up over here), and with any luck, will have this out late this [...]

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!
