It's blizzard conditions here in Maine today, but even so, I'm focused on spring. At least design-wise, that is.
I'm hard at work pulling together my spring collection; WILDFLOWER, which means I could use some more space in the "Studio"/spare bedroom - so I've put a bunch of my winter kits, patterns, samples, and more on sale in the shop. The items listed here are just a handful of the sale goods, so be sure to look around before the end of the sale on January 12th. And if you're more of a Ravelry person, all the WOODLAND patterns are 20% off for the same period, no code needed.
I get some space and you get some cozy knits for the long stretch of winter still to come. WIn-win!!
