Today, both of my shops are taking part in the Protesty.com protest. I’m going to leave them shut down at least through the weekend, but I feel honored to take part in this largely impotent gesture of seller outrage toward the reseller situation at Etsy.
If you have a burning desire to buy from me, my WePay store and Alphabitsy.com remain open.
Check out this gorgeous Pac-Man hat on Etsy. No, I didn’t make it, but it’s so cool that I wish I had.
If you don’t understand why a shop that sells birthday cards with a guinea pig wearing a fez is on this list, then I don’t know what you’re doing reading my blog.
I am very fortunate that local seller Periwinkle Sheep mainly sells sock yarn, since I mostly use worsted weight. And I would be tempted…so tempted…to buy more of her luscious kettle-dyed fibers.
Alas, I knit an awful lot, and I’m not in that economic class yet. Someday. In the meantine, you should check out her shop. Go.
