An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

white-throated-packrat prompted: Rumple, Belle, and Henry (and anyone else you want to include) go to the NY Sheep and Wool Festival at Rhinebeck. Does Rumple come home with 20 lbs of different fibers, several champion fleeces, 8 knitting patterns, 3 sweater kits, 2 new wheels, a loom on pre-order, and a pair of angora bunnies, or does Belle stop him? If so, when does she cut him off? And how much does Henry encourage his grandfather?

What is the worst hobby a super villain could take up?

Knitting, because I am pretty sure that there is only one Yarn Barn in Metropolis and Supergirl is there all the damn time.

For those who didn’t know, I’m torreadora on Ravelry. This is actually the second pattern I’ve ever written up to share, but the first one is so old I don’t care for it anymore. This one is simple and, I think, pretty easy to follow. I’m looking for some beta knitters to test the pattern!

I also love those study tumblrs with perfect notes, so I thought I’d try to hand-write it.

Anybody up for making a really cute hat?

I am officially taking a break from this blog. Between house hunting, podcast and work stuff I haven't been knitting or going on tumblr. For now I will put this blog on hold.

Baby/Newborn Hats

I’m looking for a possible collection of hat patterns for babies. Specifically newborns. My friend is a photographer and asked if I could make a few hats for her and I only work best with patterns. Any ideas?

Okay... Podcast time.

I'm going to record another episode sometime next week. I just need to choose a knitter for the show...

I am an asshole who's disappears...

I feel like this happens every year. Something with work and possible raises or promotions and I drop everything with knitting. I hate it.
