Mini Skeins! Not just for contrast on socks!

With just one of these babies: Scrunchies? Little pouches (for dice because you're not only a crafter but also a dungeon master)? Little scarves?

So many Skein Study Deluxe Sock Minis to choose from!

What is it about it getting warm that makes me want to cast on something woolly? Is it spite? But for what? Can't be the interminable passage of time. I love the interminable passage of time.

Well, some colour combos with Skein Study Organic DK for the Hiillos from the book which we still have! How do we still have it?!

The lesser known counterpart to the Angles and the Saxons, the Jutes took over for the Romans on the British Island. They arrived by boat, initially in Kent, but made their way in eventually settling a large portion of the land. The early 2010s Cambridge, MA-based freak-rock band The Sucking Stones had a crowd pleaser number about this Germanic tribe.

Nope, not done with these fake outs. Jute is a hardy plant based fibre perfect for BAGS. Crochet or knit up some bags with this incredibly fun, speckled Hey Jute!

Could have gone either way with that, the name being a Beatles reference.

Don't tell Tracy but sometimes when the weather's nice and no one's in the shop I pull out a bench and sit outside. Thank the good god for grey areas.

PAPER! If you know anything about me you know that I'm even more obsessed with paper than the people in Waterworld (I am on a Kevin Costner thing inexplicably). So of course I screamed a little when we got in Luxury Raffia Paper.

I whipped up a bucket hat. You can make this basket by . Or this bag by .official. Or some coasters. Or write me a letter???

PAPER!!!
