Too bad, Betty, because today you should blow your own vertubenflugen* ALL DAY LONG! Please enjoy 15% off all yarn in the shop to celebrate Betty White's 99th birthday!! (Wanted to be cute with 17% but no such luck, Etsy...) Betty White as Rose Nylund, Sue Ann Nivens, Elka Ostrovsky, or her own damn self has been entertaining us for decades and we are so lucky to have her in our lives! Today we celebrate the joy and heart that she brings to the Golden Girls, especially when she catches us off guard and calls Blanche a bitch 👌. Off-screen, Betty is a national treasure, advocating for the rights of animals and humans alike, and doing so for almost the entirety of her life. While all colors are on sale today, may we recommend you treat yourself to a Betty-inspired color? Perhaps Empty Headed Mary Poppins Knockoff, Rose Hand Me That Newspaper, or He Melts My Haagen Dazs? We want to make room for some new colorways this year, so you have our permission to go all out for the big 99!! We love you, Betty!!

Pattern testing is a great way to set a deadline for samples crochet/knitting, let me tell ya. I zipped through this sweater because I knew disappointing my crochet idol was NOT AN OPTION. Brace yourselves for the release of the pattern on 12/15! This is a worsted weight Tunisian crochet sweater that I made with To The Moon Ma; Love Ya, Pussycat; and I'm Not Wearing Shoulderpads (from top to bottom). Something about the pinky magenta and the variegated teal screams GGs to us! Two skeins of each was all I needed for a size large and we have each color in stock if you also need this tunic in your life!!

"Dorothy Z. Sleeps With The Fishes...." Yikes! A fish wrapped in newspaper is not the kind of package we think of when it comes to happy mail...but a skein or two of this new color is!! We've reimagined Dorothy's threat as a nice koi pond (lol) with this cream/icy blue base, smattered with our fave blue-green color palette of speckles (threw in some red and gold too!). This has been added to the shop in our 4 Ply Sock base!
