This morning found me at the post office bright and early to hand over three bins stuffed to the brim with happy mail! Packages should start arriving as early as tomorrow for local folks (Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire), and later in the week for folks a little farther away. That wraps up March's mailing! So let's do a quick run down of what happens next: Later this month, I'll do a post about what's going to be in April's mailing. That will give anyone who doesn't want to play in April a chance to free up spots for new folks. [...]

Two things!  One: The spiffy new tier on patreon (the one where you get a pair of these awesome scissors heading for your mailbox early next week) is closing tomorrow! So if you want them, this is last call. Head to this post for more details. There's a button at the bottom that says "join to unlock" that will let you sign up! Two: We've got a handful of Community Supported Patreon Memberships available! I switched from Community Supported Patterns to Community Supported Patreon Memberships (which lets me include things like this spiffy new tier in the program). Details about those [...]

Ahem. I have it on good authority that neeeeeext month's mailing is going to be, um, related to this. For this has captured my very soul and is occupying far too many of my waking hours. And it's spawning...variations...which is always a portent of doom. I might (might you understand, nothing is cast in stone, you are hearing this early when things absolutely for sure will change between now and whenever this officially gets announced, literally anyone who comes back and goes 'but you saiiiiiiiiiid you'd do it thaaaaaat way, how dare things chaaaaaaaange' will be pointed towards this exact [...]

TL;DR version right up top: Signups are open now for this month's mailing! If you want these (murderously sharp, delightfully stabby) little scissors to show up in your mailbox, join the Notable Nonsense tier. (Look for the 'Join to unlock' button at the bottom of this post.) The Notable Nonsense tier is the only way to get them. I don't have them available anywhere else (and don't plan to because the infrastructure needed to have little things like this generally available all the time is not feasible for me, but I can do a whole bunch of them all at [...]

Spots for the second month of Notable Nonsense mail club are opening soon (in a couple of days, don't worry, you didn't miss it). Details below! TL;DR version right up top: March's mailing is these amazing little scissors (super sharp, super comfy, deeply satisfying snick snick sounds when they cut). And yes, they can go to both stateside and international folks. If you are already on the Notable Nonsense tier and want them, you don't need to do anything! If you'd rather change your tier and not get them, you can always change your tier to whatever works best for [...]

I am, much to my own surprise, technically an adult. I have a mortgage. And access to consumer credit. And power tools. I could quite legally create a whole new human being, for whom I would be responsible, without any sort of vetting or supervision process. And yet this, this is what I elect to do with my time. And probably will be for at least the next couple days. Maybe next couple weeks. It's hard to say, I am very, very, very unsupervised. Which I believe is how we ended up in this mess in the first place. So. [...]

I did this backwards! Normally I knit something, show it to you as we go along, then put the pattern out. This time? Well, I knit this ages and ages ago (like literally years), then it languished in the depths of my office for far too long, then I put it out the other day. (It's called Wended, Rampant and Notable Nonsense folks can currently get it [and a stack of other hats that use that same folded brim structure] free right over here, everyone else can buy it here.) That's ok though! All it means is that I'm going [...]

Wended is out on both Ravelry and payhip! Rampant Nonsense and Notable Nonsense folks have a code to download it free on this post. You'll need to be logged in to see the code. If you're not on one of those tiers and want to be, click the 'Join to unlock' button at the bottom of the post and you can change that. Everyone else can find a code for 25% off on this post. That will work through Saturday February 21 on both Ravelry and payhip. Look I love this hat. No like a lot. It combines two of [...]
