2018 Geek-A-Long: Labyrinth
Come inside and have a nice cup of tea. Today the #geekalong celebrates the Labyrinth!
When I watched Labyrinth as a child, I identified with Sarah on a visceral level. I had annoying younger siblings I didn’t want to babysit either. They were whiny babies, who wouldn’t leave my stuff alone. The first time I heard Sarah speak the words to call the goblins to take her baby brother, I was like: “Dang, girl. You’re right. That brat deserves it. Now, excuse me while I pause this VHS…

IT IS FINALLY FINISHED!!!!! After a year of knitting, my geekalong blanket is complete. Squares are from the 2014 and 2016 geekalongs.
2018 Geek-A-Long: Monty Python
The 2018 #geekalong, it has HUGE fans! Silly-walk your way on over to get your first GAL square of the year.
It feels really weird to be typing “2018” at the top of this post. Like, I know academically that it’s the new year, and year five of the Geek-A-Long, but knowing it and feeling it aren’t the same.

2017 Geek-A-Long: Static Shock
Week 46 of the 2017 #geekalong proudly welcomes Static Shock! #staticshock
I loved Static Shock. The show was fun and heartfelt and relevant without being overt. It was the first cartoon to star an African American superhero and felt like it came out of nowhere. In reality, it was based off of a character created as part of DC’s Milestone Universe, which focused on Dakota City after a chemical explosion gave a bunch of people super powers. It was gritty and diverse and…

YEAH? YEAH???? It’s my fourth one, actually.
The Pact Hat
Hola, ’tis I, Jac-Jac. Today, I bring forth to you a brand new colorwork pattern, which technically released earlier this week, but Big Obligations and Carpal Tunnel kept messing up my to-do list. You know, like how our yarn was featured in Leslie Anne Robinson’s debut book, Brioche Knitting for Beginners and Beyond, and I never seem to find enough time or spoons to blog about it. It be like that…

I'm working on a double-sided scarf version of Byakuren's scroll. Its great fun, turns out i LOVE double-sided knitting, even if it is a time-consuming pain in the ass.
Unfortunately, the pattern I drew up is not going to produce something long enough to really be viable as a scarf, and I'm not entirely sure what I'm gonna do with this when I finish it.
That said, I do have plans for a mk. II
