Which Six
I have a plan! Monday morning, I start taking patterns down. Some time in September, six will return. It will take me few days to get them all down (I need to do it in a tidy fashion, both so the ravelry pages aren't a mess and so I don't lose any information), but I expect to have them all down by midweek. But by the end of the week, I won't have anything at all for sale on ravelry or payhip. In August,* I'll spend a little bit of time introducing the six patterns that are coming back and [...]

This morning I got up, sat down at my computer, looked at what you all had done overnight, & made a $10,000.00 donation to MaineTransNet, a community based organization supporting trans people in Maine. You made that happen. You are amazing. I truly wasn't expecting this. I figured I'd do a sale to build up a little buffer as I made these changes to my business. But the response has been overwhelming. You folks made me feel safe. You've given me more options. Your support means I have the time and space I need for what comes next. It seems [...]
Let’s fix it
Is there a pattern you'll miss but didn't buy because there's no room in the budget? Not even if it's on sale? Not even if it's going away? Because if so, I want to fix that. Well, I can't fix the stuff that's making everything so hard right now. But I can provide a bit of tiny nonsense as a distraction. If there's something you really wish you could get before it goes away, but it just isn't in the budget, you can have it. The code TINY NONSENSE will let you get any single item from my shop for [...]
Thank you
I am overwhelmed. The response to the sale has been astonishing. It's time to do some good. We're giving $10,000.00 to Mabel Wadsworth, my local abortion provider. You made this possible. Full disclosure, I thought I'd go to their website, send it, and share a pic. But the site only lets you do donations up to $1,000, so I wrote to ask what the best way to send it is (processing fees are a bear, the answer may be a check). So I can't show you it's done, but I can show you it's coming! Now, I want to talk [...]
Last Call!
All my patterns are going away shortly. Most aren't coming back. Use the code LAST CALL to take 40% off before they're gone. Quick version, because I know we're all frazzled: • Later this month, I'm taking all my books and patterns down as part of a bunch of changes I'm making to my business. • Some of them will come back, most won't, so this is your last chance to get many of them. • You can use the code LAST CALL to take 40% off anything in my ravelry or payhip shops from now through the end of [...]
I wish to
Yesterday I mentioned that, as part of the preparation for the Shiny New Thing, I am about to discontinue all my patterns. A few of my favorites will come back as part of the Shiny New Thing. Most will not. Nearly everyone was lovely about this! A few folks were...less so. I got a handful of nasty comments, and a whole lot of folks (with widely varying levels of tact) who really really needed to know why. So first, in the gentlest possible way, I don't need any reason other than I wish to. Second, again in the gentlest possible [...]
A very solid plan…
I have a plan. It's a great plan! But as part of said plan, MOST OF MY EXISTING PATTERNS ARE GOING AWAY FOR GOOD. I'm working on a post about what comes next, but I'm not ready to share all the details just yet. But I am ready to say I'm taking all my existing patterns down later this month. Before they go, I'll do a big sale (later this week, keep an eye out for details in a day or two). But before I do that, I want to answer a few questions I know will come up. Let's [...]
Pins
Look, I never said I wasn't easily amused. I fully admit to being scandalously easily amused. But also, I have been actually sewing stuff, like with a sewing machine. And that means I've been interacting with pins way way way more than anyone really needs to. And it turns out I rather like having a little magnetic pin holder to toss them on as I wrench them from my fabric or harvest them from as I impale said fabric. And yes, perhaps in an ideal world I'd just by one like a normal person. But I am not a normal [...]
Revel in your accomplishments
And there it is dry and with the wires out. The second picture is pretty much the exact same shot before it was blocked so you can see the difference. The fabric is relaxed. The stitch pattern is clear with crisp lines of decreases and nice open yarn overs. The top and bottom both have a lovely scalloped edge with adorable little points. The fabric is several inches bigger left to right and top to bottom. The total active time (not counting soaking time or drying time) was about ten to fifteen minutes. I ran the two wires through the [...]
