I spent this last weekend taking a little time away from making things to go stay with friends in Washington. They have new chicks with names like Skunkweed and Chainsaw.

I'll be getting back to work this week and hopefully finally getting the new clothes photographed and up in the shop.

I'm also looking for easy knitting patterns for bulky and super bulky yarn, so if anyone wants to pass something along it would be much appreciated!

Success! Two singles, one with swirling barberpoles of the rust and yellow and curly overspins, one with color blocks of white, rust, and yellow, and a third skein of super slubs plied with bright yellow thread and full of beehive coils.

And in other news, I quit my job! Hooray! I'm currently looking for something low stress around 30 hours a week. Suggestions are welcomed! (I'm in SW Portland OR.)

I'm back from my vacation now. Josh and I went to Sayulita, Nayarit, Mexico for just under a week. It was really lovely and ideal.
I'm working to get caught up now, printing and designing and sewing up orders in their traveling packages.

I'll be updating the Etsy shop with lots of great new things, lots of new tees too just as soon as I can wrangle in my photographer to help me.
In the mean time, check out Kraken. She made me this amazing shirt - Snail + Slug = Snug, the hybrid love mollusk! I adore it!
