Good morning! One of the things I have had to learn about having a fiber arts business is that I have to create for at least a season ahead. My natural tendency is to say, “Oh, look. It’s Valentine’s Day tomorrow. I should make something for that.” Of course that doesn’t work. That said, I… Read More Twelve Days of Christmas and Pippins
It’s time for another Solitary Skein Sale! What’s a solitary skein, you ask? It’s when I only have one more skein in stock of a particular colorway on a particular yarn base.
