I am available for custom handknits on an individual case by case basis. I charge 15¢ per yard of yarn knitted plus cost of yarn. Handknitted headbands are about $20-$24 depending on what yarn you’d like. Reach out if you have questions! I’m moderately awkward but I try hard to be a nice human.

A post by Joyce Alene. It reads: “The first time President Obama met with his US Attorneys, he told us, "I appointed you but you don't serve me. You serve the American people. And I expect you to act with independence & integrity." None of us ever forgot that.” A post below it by Preet Bharara reads “this is true. I was there.”
