Tip Jar!

If you like what's going on here, or find the information helpful, but don't really need more yarn just now, please consider pitching in a bit to the Tip Jar so I can keep doing this and come closer to meeting expenses. Thanks! (This is especially helpful during the holiday season when sales drop off and I'm still having to cover monthly expenses.) 


Knit on!!

Welcome!

Feel free to look around and find what tickles your fancy!

What's New This Week:


New Blog Reader Specials Still Available!

Many of the Blog Reader Specials remain available, especially the Superwash Merino Aran-weight.   These are all one-of-a-kind and they are ready to ship, so you will have them in time for gift-giving this holiday season.   



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!
