Want one of the Noteworthy kits? Here’s the plan!⁠

On Thursday, May 8, at 1pm eastern, I’ll open kit orders to the folks on Patreon. I’ve got a very limited number of these, so folks there are going to have a day to get them before I make them available more publicly.⁠

On Friday, May 9, also more or less at 1, I’ll open kit orders to everyone else if there are any left. I’ll post about it here and on the newsletter/ig/rav. Orders will stay open through midweek, or until they sell out, whichever comes first.⁠

On Saturday, May 17, the kits will start going in the mail. On Tuesday, May 20, the individual pattern will come out.⁠

Couple of caveats:⁠

– You will totally get Thursday’s announcement even if you’re a free member on Patreon! I am not a jerk, I am not charging anyone to buy my stuff. It’s just that the folks over there are literally the reason I can do this job, so it seems only fair to let them have first dibs on anything in limited supply. You’re welcome to join us there if you want a heads up when the kits are up!⁠

– I am One Single Human Person in a middle aged body trying to bring together a lot of moving pieces in the midst of a variety of exciting personal and societal catastrophes. Any time I give any sort of date, it comes with an asterisk that says ‘you know, unless I fall and break a leg/my country collapses in some sort of way that prevents the post from moving/I am eaten by a dragon/my house burns down.’ But right now my porch looks like that second picture (those are a couple hundred packed boxes), and I’ve done this enough times to know that all the bits I can control are in good order and ready to go!⁠

– The kits are the only place to get the pouches and likely will be the only place to get the pouches for the foreseeable future. The tyrant’s tariffs made the pouches more expensive, which means I likely won’t be making more any time soon. Using them as part of the kits is the best way for me to try and mitigate the damage the bad man did to my small business. It sucks, but I can’t change it, all I can do is work around it. His actions hurt us all.⁠
