The 6th annual Indie Design Gift-a-long kicks off tonight!! Nov 23rd, 2018 at 8pm EST Puddles and I are both returning this year – me to my admin and games duties and him to his spreading of the stitches… both yarn and laughter.
If you’re new to the giftalong (aka GAL) here’s how it works:
Quote:We are prepping for the holidays as only fiber folks can, with special deals from tons of indie designers! This is our 6th annual GAL, and we are super excited to celebrate it all with you!

From November 23rd, 2018 at 8:00 pm US EST to November 29th at 11:59pm US EST each of the 349 participating designers will be discounting between 10 – 20 of their patterns 25% for this event.
