I’m hard at work on mittens and hats for the winter sale season, and have nothing new to offer. But my friend Dee does!

Do you like math? Do you like homemade soap? Either way, you need PI SOAP!

It costs, of course, $3.14.

If you have Twitter and you’d like to learn about new items that my mother and I post to our respective Etsy shops, you’re in luck! You can be the first to know by following @Northrupknits.

AJ helped me to set up my display at Uncommon Grounds Saratoga. Unfortunately, some of the price tags fell off the sleeves while we were putting them on the cups, so I have to go back and fix the display. Grrr. Still, thanks so much to Uncommon Grounds for the opportunity to do this. (and for all of the model cups!) It’s a great honor to be asked to do this when Hamsterdam Handknits is still so new.

As you can see, there’s hardly anything in my Etsy store right now, since the whole coffee sleeve inventory that hasn’t been spoken for or shipped is sitting right there in the window! Working on that, though.

Welcome to Hamsterdam Handknits! Managing a store site in WordPress is a new idea, and I’m looking forward to setting up and expanding this site to include updates, a storefront, and other fun things.

I’m about to move my entire inventory of coffee cozies to the display window of Uncommon Grounds in Saratoga Springs, NY, which I am looking forward to. I hope to spread the cuddly coffee warmth to Saratoga and beyond.
