You should really be outside digging the weather, so I'll make this brief. Just a few things I thought you oughta know, plus some stuff to make you laugh. Read fast, then skitter off to plant some flowers or something!
Enjoy,

Lovely article in the British tabloid-y publication called NUTS (for the blokes, don'tcha know). My patterns appear right above a story about a man who eats pans and a freaky four-legged duckling. My mom's not worried about my career at ALL now. Heh. I'm pretty sure she was crying because she was happy.

I finally redid my links page and will continue to update it as I find more to share. Look to it as your source for craft books, cross stitch resources, shopping and creative inspiration. Also updated: Customer Gallery, How-To section, new press and other little details.

If you don't know Shannon Okey, you're just probably not moving fast enough. Besides authoring a new book every time I turn around, she also runs knitgrrl.com and really, who knows what else she's done just while I'm writing this sentence. Girl's got crazy-mad skills!

I'm impressed with this new book by British author Amy Spencer. If you think you know the craft scene, this book will surprise you. It's full of unusual projects, and it also includes thoughtful insights about the craft movement. Amy is also the author of the successful book DIY: The Rise of Lo-fi Culture. The new book has a few pages about Subversive, including a pattern!
