1. Lovelace pattern is in the shop! Click photo, or click here to see it in Ravelry.
2. Most of the special prices at the DesigningVashti website will expire in approx. 24 hours: at the end of Friday, December 16 EST. See them all in one place here. Scroll all the way down.
3. Exceptions to #2: Special prices on patterns expire Dec. 22 end of day EST because they're downloads. The special 20% code for subscribers (in the last issue) expires at the end of the month.
4. Pattern correction for the Foundation Star Stitch instructions in last week's issue: In the paragraph that begins Next fstar, look for two sets of parentheses. Within these parentheses, change the word first to new. That's all! Thank you Marty Miller for spotting this error and for your foundation stitch classes, guidance and inspiration!
5. We have plenty of Lotus yarn in Black Gleam, but the mill didn't send it on large cones. So if you want to get a 1 lb cone or more of it (such as for Doris' Nightshade Skirt), you can get 2 partial cones and still get the 20% subscriber discount. Email me how many balls of the Black you want: a 1 lb. cone equals 4.5 balls and the skirt takes 4–6 balls. I'll calculate your discounted total.
6. The giftworthy 6-Pack o' Lotus Snacks is a very good price until midnight tomorrow! See my suggested color combos or create your own.
7. Nowadays I post initial photos of what I'm currently crocheting on Instagram, so if you want to see Vashti's crochet experiments before they become patterns and class topics, follow me there.
8. The winter solstice is coming! Happy Yule! More chocolate!
