Just had to order more sock yarns, which should be arriving by Friday, May 9. Yippee! That means I should still be within the 7-14 day window noted on the ordering pages.

Haven't posted new May colors yet, still futzing with decisions and "level-of-contentment" issues with the colors. Harrumph!

If you haven't gotten a bag or t-shirt yet, or one of the mugs or teddy bears, go check 'em out on my CafePress Page

Why Knitivity??

I am proof that THERE IS LIFE AFTER HURRICANE KATRINA! My dog and I had to hunker down in New Orleans during and after The Event (read my "Katrina Diary" here), and I was a changed person when it was all said and done.

So what does one do after very fiber of one's being has been shaken, stirred, folded, spindled, and somewhat mutilated? Why, he chucks it all, walks away, and begins life on his own terms ... and starts his own yarn-dyeing business to celebrate whatever new version of liberty has been wrought by Katrina's devastation. Little funding, little backing, and pretty fool-hardy, but plenty of moral support and best wishes from friends and fellow-crafters and artists. And so far it is working! With YOUR HELP, my story and my success will help others overcome tragedy and horrific devastation in their own lives.

Thoreau wrote, "The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation. What is called resignation is confirmed desperation." After Katrina there was no way I could return to the resignation of working a "job" (aka, "Journey of Boredom") simply because that's the way everyone else dies inside. I refuse to be either quiet OR resigned!
