Ibis was released in April 2019, along with a pattern to go with it. I had asked Kyle Vey, a super talented local designer, to design wings for me. The entire yarn collection, of which Ibis was only part, was called The Aviary, and it seemed fitting. When he was finally ready to show it…

In our 140 Character world, reposts, shares would have looked like this: “New policy, effective immediately We are banning support of Donald Trump and his administration on Ravelry. We cannot provide a space that is inclusive…

Heya folks, here’s a big update on where we’re at. Just before Frolic we were 3 weeks out on our very latest order. We had one week to prepare for Frolic itself and there was a tragic, young, death in the family of our assistant dyers, leading to them leaving us before we had planned…
