And now it’s time for another “what Jacey doing this week” post. I hope you don’t get tired of reading these. I was just telling Jillian this morning, at the board meeting, that writing them is pretty helpful to me. Almost like a huge data dump of everything I have to do for the week, […]
If you’re one of the PLY readers that missed out on issue #2 and #3 (Color and Woolen), guess what? We are reprinting! However, since we are a small operation, we don’t have green enough just sitting around, so we’re going to have to do what we did for the Summer 2013 (#1, first). Here’s […]
Thanks everyone, for participating! And after using this random number generator, we have a winner! Kimberly Burnett-Dean of the great state of Virginia (which I hear is for lovers). I’ll be sending the fiber out to her this week. Thanks to Anne Podlesak for the pattern and the Wooly Wonka Fibers fiber. Stay tuned […]

Everybody that’s been with us from the beginning knows that we, collectively, knew nothing about running a magazine when this whole adventure started, right? Nothing. The big ZERO (coincidentally, the same of stitches I’ve knit in the last month). I hadn’t the foggiest what made Amy Clark Moore and Linda Cortright so tired. Now I do. […]
You may have noticed that we try to do most of the photography in house. That’s not just because Bernadette has mad photo skills, but also because I really think it gives an issue a cohesive, beautiful feel. Of course, there are always things we can’t shoot — photos about a location, about a person, […]
