As I’ve mentioned, DiaperKit is closed currently due to our relocating to the East coast. I will be shipping all orders that have been placed already on or before Monday October 13. If you have questions please email me via the Contact Form here on the blog.
ButtKnits will remain open during this time. In fact, I have a new pattern coming out this week and that means that all of our downloadable full patterns will be on sale for just $5 to celebrate a new pattern!
