Hail Cupidthulhu!

To the sides you can see my Cupidthulhu prototype. I will be offering them mid-January onwards when my shop reopens after Break, just in time for Valentine's Day shoppers. I stopped using Red Heart and now use solid-color Cascade yarn from Old Town Yarnery. It costs more, but not too much more, and is much, much more pleasant to work with. I will be charging $17 to fellow students in person and $22 online for these pink ones, because the buttons drive up cost of materials (as opposed to the standard green, which are $15 in person and $20 online). I think it's worth it though, for teh cutes.

Sigh. Got a Chinese exam this afternoon, even though I'd rather huddle in my room and drown my sorrows in yarn. Until next time.

Old Town Yarnery

While walking around downtown Fredericksburg, as is my wont, I stumbled upon this shop, Old Town Yarnery, that opened on Black Friday. Naturally I rejoiced. Even better, the owner lets me hang out and pester her (though I wouldn't advise that on a larger scale). Lots of natural fibers at fair prices - I've started making my Cthulhu plushes out of huge $9 hanks of solid-color wool - and a very friendly atmosphere. In January the shop will start offering classes in both knit and crochet at all skill levels.

Fellow students: she is now offering a 10% discount for us. Pass it on!
