Price Drop!
I released this knitting pattern in the summer.
I've decided to drop the price, as it was admittedly set at the high end of the range. Not a temporary sale, just a new, lower price.
Interested in how designers choose a price point? I will explain in the comments…

Today's blog post looks at the idea of gender neutral colours for knitting and crocheting baby clothes. It takes a little dive into the history of how pink and blue were linked to girls and boys, then looks at other colour options for baby knitting or crochet.
