AboutLIFE IS TOO SHORT TO KNIT WITH UGLY YARN!!!

I also have tutorials and patterns up for everything from baby clothes to wool dreadlocks!

General Info:
Yarn is kettle-dyed or hand-painted in small batches so all your projects will be unique! I use dyes that are safe for babies and sensitive skin. All yarn is colourfast and washable.
General Prices:
I MUCH perfer paypal to maialaia @ yahoo .com but will take money orders in certain circumstances. Please email or post if you need to send a MO.

Also, let me know:
1. The measurements needed
2. If you would like your item lanolized or if you prefer to do that yourself.
3. On longies/shorts: if you would like purly cuffs, ribby cuffs, seed-stitch cuffs, ruffley or footy (enclosed) toes AND whether you want a drawstring waist or a longer ribbed waist.
(Ruffley cuffs $4 extra because they literally take *at least* a half-skein of yarn.)
WANT TO PAY EVEN LESS?
$3 OFF if *I* get to pick the yarn and surprise you! (You still get to say things like "No Purple" or "I already have an outfit in "whitecaps" or "I really love earthtones.")
