Life certainly has a way of getting in the way, doesn't it? I am still not finished with my sock, and won't be publishing quite yet. However, it will be soon. As I said, the pattern is already tech edited and beta knit. I will take the opportunity of taking a few more photos of the heel turning technique for the pattern, and perhaps a little video, as well.

Two out of five projects from my spa set are complete, which are bright and happy. I love them. I was really hoping to have the pattern set ready in time for people to make them for Mother's Day, but that will not happen. However, the patterns should be ready for May, and if you are interested in making one or more of the items in the set in a beta knit, I would be happy to hear from you! The third of the set will be made soon, and certainly any beta projects would make excellent Mother's Day gifts.

In the interim, I have a big sale going on at both my PayHip and Ravelry storefronts. Rich and I have had a goal to make it to our 75th wedding anniversary. I was 20 years and almost six months old, and Rich was just past 26 years and six months when we married, so I would be 95 years and almost six months at that celebration. As close as I can calculate, that is today!

I thought the best way to celebrate this with you would be to have a sale. So, between today and the end of the day PDT Saturday, April 20, 2024, with the coupon code Halflife, on both my PayHip and Ravelry stores, every singly sold pattern I offer will be 50% off. LoveCrafts does not permit its designers to offer coupon codes, so you will need to use either of these stores or contact me directly for a Paypal invoice.

There is slow, but steady progress being made in Milk: The Surprising Story of Milk Through the Ages and the kids and I are working our way through Northanger Abbey fairly quickly and enjoying the humor and fun.

Linking to Unraveled Wednesday.
