Well Hello there..

11/30/2017

 
Picture
One thing in life is certain. Nothing is constant and everything changes. And so, out with the old and in with the new. I loved the not-so-old website I had built before this one, but times change, technology advances and some needs and wants and wouldn't it be nice if's that didn't seem important before become more so. The site had become too big for itself within the structure that it was built and even minor edits would take too long, trying my patience and taking up time that could be better spent doing something like .. I dunno.. knitting perhaps. 

I looked for a long time for a template site that I like and that could bring the changes that I wanted and still be easy to edit and also not too cookie cutter. So this site was born. It may be a bit cookie cutter, but this is a cookie I can enjoy and I think I've been able to make enough changes to make it mine. With the new site I've been able to include a search function, a separate wholesale section to the trade (coming soon...!), faster updates and fewer typos (I hope). We also now have more payment options, we will be handling pattern downloads directly (no more third party missteps and now lightning fast delivery!), With an incorporated blog I can poke my head in and say a few deep and meaningful words at times as well. I"m looking forward to sharing with you more of the inner workings of what we do, as well as design projects and some tips and tutorials along the way. 

Let me know what you think of the new site in the comments below - I'd love to hear from you!
