DyakCraft

It’s visually attractive with nothing behind it - and it looks like every site out there. Why would a craftsman or artist want their site to be indistinguishable from others and have no voice? Best of luck to you, but I’m not interested in going down that road.

We’ve had a website for 25 years.

The Historic 1910 Ross Farm Barn is gone - Ross Farm Mercantile I suppose I should say something. It’s on the news now so everyone will know. My personal version of hell keeps expanding. Last night around 11pm I got a call that the iconic big barn at the farm was ...

Ross Farm, on the national register of historic places, lost their circa 1910 barn last night, all their beautiful sheep, equipment, and so much more. Please donate if you can, please share widely. Amy Ross Manko needs all the help we can offer her right now.

16 Republicans could defund ICE, 23 could impeach and remove Trump. All it takes is 23 people to put an end to this.

Yes. Needle and Skein is a MN yarn store. ”All proceeds from the sale of this pattern go to local immigrant aid organizations who will distribute the funds to those impacted by the actions of ICE.”

Thank you!

Here's hoping you get it to work. I bought it through the store's PayHip account, as the first day, PayPal locked their account for a bit - probably due to the rapid influx of orders. They got that cleared up in a day.

Perfect.

Melt Ice Hat in progress. Needle And Skein now has a crochet version too! payhip.com/shopneedlean... 🧶

Melt the ICE Hat Pattern In the 1940’s, Norwegians made and wore red pointed hats with a tassel as a form of visual protest against Nazi occupation of their country. Within two years, the Nazis made these protest hats illegal...
