Last week, I made a lot of stitch markers. Like, really lots. As I posted on Twitter, 200+ stitch markers over the course of a couple days! My fingers are just now recovering.
Here’s just a few of them being packaged up before being sent off to The Knitting Nest in Austin, Texas. This is the second order I’ve sent out there, so I’m very excited! Thank you, Texas!
I use that turquoise Scor-Pal mat a lot on my desk, and not just for paper crafts. I have a glass-topped desk (Vika Gruvan, from Ikea), and I shove store stuff in the space underneath. Sometimes that gets distracting, and I “lose” stitch markers (especially the wire ones) because they blend in to whatever is underneath.
I designed myself new business cards for the new year, you can see them there. It’s the same design I threw together for Sock Summit, tweaked and professionally printed, instead of printed on my home printer.
And the hero of my “store” packaging (I do less on my Etsy orders, to save the world a few extra plastic bags) is my lovely green Swingline.
My stapler. While I wouldn’t burn down a building for it, it is very helpful.
