It's November again, baby.

No matter where I am, I always wish I was in a locally owned yarn shop with $300 in my pocket and nothing better to do

People often look at the tags on my handmade goods and declare that my prices are outrageous. I did the math and THIS is what that handmade beanie you want for $10 ACTUALLY cost to make.

So if you see that $30 on the label, be courteous. Know that I am paying myself far, far less than minimum wage in labor ($2.22 per hour, to be exact) to even come to such a supposedly ghastly price. I can't take that $10 for a hat because no one can live on $0.37 an hour, much less sustain a business.

Handmade goods aren't overpriced, people just undervalue the hard work and years of skill artists put into them.

Every good hooker knows you gotta spank that skein!

I haven't posted any WIP pics in a while! Right now I'm working on Twiggy by YYC Knits using some locally spun two-ply. Love the way this pattern works up!

I just played the most suspenseful game of yarn chicken in my life and won!

I finally finished the Modern Lace Crochet Afghan by @crochetmelovely! I absolutely love this pattern and will definitely be teaching for it again. I added a lacey border to really bring those rosey hues to life and voilà! 🌹

You know I had to make a pair of Uncle Bern's funky fresh mits!
