Machine Knitting: sleeves!
This post will be part of a series, as I join KnitFactoryImpl's knitalong of a set in sleeve crew neck sweater for channel members. KnitFactoryImpl (aka Carson)'s videos have been a huge help and source of inspiration on my short knitting journey so far, so it's really fun t...

Machine Knitting: A Bag for Bricks
There are so many techniques to learn (and practice!) when learning to
machine knit. I thought it would be fun to solicit some smaller projects,
so I “opened” “commissions” by asking some friends if they had any small
project ideas after showing them a successful hat.
By bud...

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
New shirt alert
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...

Today is a good day, I think, to make little guys.
Pattern from Machine Knitting Monthly Oct 2025, which calls for spider legs, but I think the “little guy”-ness is correct without them.
Machine knitting: forbidden socks
Before I reveal the story foreshadowed in my post about machine knitting some first hats, a digression.
One of my main goals with machine knitting is to be comfortable enough with the machine and techniques required to make custom two-color patterns with AYAB. To that end, I...

Stellar Scrapm'n is hauling on the Playdate
Last weekend, I joined forces with my buddy Hunter to make a game for PlayJam 8, a game jam for the adorable yellow Playdate game console.
Introducing: Stellar Scrapm'n! Descend into debt as you ascend to the stars in a clunky little hauling ship. Crank to steer through rock...
Machine knitting: taking a stand
In my apartment we are lucky enough to have a big countertop, open on three sides, creating a nice flat project surface for even sprawling projects.
However, we also have a lot of projects that compete for this space! Producer Amy is often working on increasingly complex sew...

“Happy” March 2020, 2020. Year 5½ of “two weeks to flatten the curve”. 🫠
I was able to get the updated COVID-19 booster, today. Nice to see some systems are working.
Machine knitting: what's up with (t)hat?
One of my main goals with learning machine knitting is to replace the electronics on my Brother KH-930e with AYAB (All Yarns Are Beautiful) to create multi-color patterned knits of whatever sicko stuff comes to mind. But home knitting machines aren't a fire-and-for...
