Today was a good day, I think, for finishing a little guy that I’ve been carrying around incomplete for a couple of weeks.

I’m traveling but that doesn’t mean I’m not machine knitting!
I am so grateful to Cristina Talpa for her make-a-scarf workshop. Amy found it via the Makery and we thought it seemed too good to pass up.
And it was! While the workshop is geared for total beginners to machine knitting, Cristina smoothly adjusted to work around things I already knew. She taught me some great new techniques and helped me improve some less-than-optimal techniques I came to the workshop with.
Plus, this scarf! I love it! Amy enjoyed posing me on an outing in Berlin today to snap a few photos.
I’m so grateful for the opportunity to meet an expert (and experimental!) machine knitter, work on a garment together, and chat about the state of the craft.
Thanks so much, Cristina!

Great news! my candle dealer bugs rock is back with a new line for spoopy season! Order now and get these monstrous creations:
- bad apple (plus baby sample powerful enough to spoil somebody’s bunch)
- a sweet hex (feel like Pandora (not the streaming service) as you open the lid! then instead of hope you are left with a sweet candle to burn)
- mischief nite (this moon cannot be obscured, knows what you did)
- evil side up (I guess Sam I Am wanted the ham)
Plus some bugs rock matches and stickers and maybe some little plastic scaries and a temporary tattoo!
As a bonus you can guess which of these made me sneeze a bunch when I opened the box! (I’m fine, my allergies and I have come to an agreement. Thanks for asking!)

Looks like Vimeo is being acquired. To my eyes it appears to be a private equity play by a private equity player with a history of making a mess of their toys.
I know that some folks have seen Vimeo as an alternative to the algorithmic ad-ridden hustle-bustle hell-world that is YouTube. For example, Vi Hart moved all of her 10+ years of YouTube to https://vimeo.com/vihart ! I worry for the future of all those works.
For my part, I uploaded a single video to Vimeo almost 16 years ago to see if it would be a suitable place to post video for sharing to the social networks I was on at the time. I guess I didn’t love it. I’ve now mirrored that single video to my own site. No big deal: MakerBot #131 printing bike handlebar mount bottom

It's not all machine knitting around here!
Last week I took a screen printing class at NYC Resistor, a lovely hackerspace in Brooklyn.
It was their first time teaching this class, and fittingly they taught a screen printing technique that was new to me!
We were asked to brin...
Machine knitting: carriage return to work
As mentioned in my first-hat and forbidden socks posts my Brother KH-930e knitting machine was unable to knit two-color Fair Isle patterning due to two cam buttons being stuck together.
I didn't really know where to start with figuring this out. I remember doing some se...
