We all need closure 

You know what I've really enjoyed about Ravelry lately? Checking out my friends' activity. Like yarn they tried to sneak into their stash without admitting to splurging. I see you! Haha. Or adding new projects to their queue. This one we have to be careful of if we're making holiday gifts for a knitty friend! But it's a super quick way for me to feel up to date with my buddies when I only have two minutes in the morning.

This past week I saw two huge trends. The first one being all the Chicago area knitters adding oodles of Bonne Marie's patterns after her fashion show at Loopy on Friday--Lynette, I'm looking right at you! Hee hee.

The second trend being that everyone able to wield needles seems to have added Oblique to their queue or to do list. A comfy, snuggly looking sweater to which I can only add...you're going to need some fantastic buttons soon.

Or some whimsical buttons.

Or whatever type of big button you need to close yourself up in your Oblique or other cardigan, chances are I can make it for you! So immerse yourself in your yarn and come see me to get some closure. I am still donating a portion of sales to The National Hospice Foundation and I will probably switch over to a new charity soon.

If you had to pick a favorite Ravelry feature, what would it be?

Sew my name on my coat 

I totally forgot to mention that I'm donating 15% of my etsy sales to The National Hospice Foundation. Depending on how many items I sell, I may change up the charity once in a while. But for now, that's the one on my mind.

Tomorrow...a new vintage toy and the things you can make with it!
