they also have calendars, notebooks and the kits…

Jussi’s socks are definitely still up on her blog with some of her other fantastic free patterns. http://www.castadrift.blogspot.com (and I am sure her socks were up well before knitpixies)….:)
I love that cross stich and embroidery is becoming popular with our generation. But, I saddned that “modern” too often equals rude and crass. Hmm…. Is THAT what’s on our minds? It makes me a little sad for our generation.
I have no idea what a yoga sock is… I need to go check that out…it sounds awesome!
Oh! It’s a lil’ legwarmer. Very cute! I need a pair!
Melissa — you’re not the only one…
Just because something is on my mind from time to time does not mean I want it framed and hanging up around the house. Especially if it is not one of the nobler sentiments.
“F*ck cancer” is a pretty noble statement, though!
There’s a free Subversive Cross Stitch pattern in the new BUST. It’s the “Babies Suck” pattern. I’m a subscriber & got mine yesterday; don’t know when it’ll be on the stands.
“Bite me”. that is TOO funny. I also like “F— Cancer”
Yeah for Julie and fellow Texan crafters! I can’t wait to see the book. If it is half as cute as Jenny Hart’s embroidery kit it should rule!
Yeah, sorry, I was being trying to be a fancy pants over at my site doing some new design on it, and I messed something up terribly and erased the whole frickin thing. It’s back up now..
What a nightmare.
