How Fidget Spinners Give a Bad Name to the Fidget Toy Game

I love fidgets. I love fidget toys and I own an excessive collection I have picked up from Groupon, Amazon, and elsewhere. And you know what? I hate fidget spinners and everything they stand for.

Starting an Etsy Shop!

No, not for my handknit goods. Those will always be free and given to those deserving of them.

I'm designing some sticker/planner packs, as well as individual printables and sticker sheets.

I'll follow up with a link when I have the shop ready!

A Knitter's Guide to the Holiday Season

If you have a good friend or family member who knits, I'm gonna bet you have at least one hand-stitched, beautifully crafted, thoughtful item that took hours of time, gifted to you like it was nothing. We knitters are often modest, normalizing these hours of handmade labor as no big deal.

As the holiday season grows near, you may be fretting about how to provide for the knitter in your life who is most likely going to make you something thoughtful and time-consuming. Let me rephrase-- you SHOULD be fretting. The average sock takes about 17,000 stitches. Not to mention there's two of them-- that's 34,000 hand crafted stitches, for the math nerds out there.

Never doubt the knitter. We are able to create magic with sticks and string.
