  • I finally taught myself that damn M1 increase. Suddenly all those directions that read, "Knit in the front and back of the loop," don't seem so what the fuck are you talking about, bitch? I taught myself fair isle too. …

  • Knitting projects I've been meaning to post. Here is el hat made with superbulky yarn: Ew, came out much fuzzier than I thought. Oh well. Here's a cameo of my hand. Here's the matching scarf. Here's a bunch o…
