    Bake Off is back, baby! (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    In my defense, I was probably only 13 when I totally killed a batch of cookies.My parents were out for the afternoon, and I decided to try a new cookie recipe. I thawed the butter, creamed it with the sugar, added eggs, etc…and saw that the recipe called for “a cup of coffee.”Coffee. When I was 13, that was the smelly stuff that only college students, my parents, and maybe beat poets drank rather than the elixir of life I consider it today.I knew my parents kept a can of Maxwell House in the ref

    I was sifting through a bunch of boxes and bags of yarn in my studio the other day, looking for a particular project bag.It has cute little hedgehogs on it, and darnit, I knew it had to be in this box of yarn….somewhere.Just when I was about to concede that the bag must’ve gotten sucked into the giant Black Hole where all the missing socks go, I spotted it in a clear plastic bin with a bunch of yarn.Hallelujah! The hedgehogs were found:<a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" href="https://s

    ✨How to wear a triangular shawlette thing (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    I really have no idea what I’m doing when it comes to fashion. Are skinny jeans still in? Is a French tuck really French? Why do I look like Yosemite Sam in barrel leg pants (I’m in the category that cannot rock those, dagnammit…)?Shawls and scarves are no exception: I had no clue how to wear them until I watched other people who knew what they were doing.So if you’re anywhere near as clueless as I was with wearing long, handknit, triangular scarves (shawlette? Whatchmacallit? Thingy?), you migh

    Stunning pattern for last days of August (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone

    Read excerpt

    It’s weird. Every July 31st, I look back on the past several months of summer in the northern hemisphere…All of the gardening, knitting retreats, maybe a vacation I’ve taken…all that fun stuff feels like it’s just ramping up and hitting its stride at the end of July.But then August hits and boom! Suddenly, the end of the season is in sight. School buses will be doing their rounds, the public pools will close for the year, and soon the ice cream truck will only come around on weekends.Just like C

    A perfect crescent shawl (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone

    Read excerpt

    Back in 2012, I knit a crescent shawl and it ended up with hump in spite of following the pattern and making gauge. You know, that pointy part near the cast on that pulls up instead of letting a slight curve happen?My nostrils may have flared a bit.Now, if you’re a fan of humps, no shade here. You do you. But the hump bugged me enough to tap into my inner knitting engineer & figure out what was going on and how to ease it.My mods worked so well that I published a cool, humpless (“Humphrey”?) cre
