Favourite Book: Don Norman, The Design of Everyday Things
This was the book that made me see that perhaps I could be a designer after all. The focus on product design, engineering and empathy was refreshing because of the focus on people, and designing products and systems that work for the people using them, not the other way around.
Introducing My Virtual Bookshop!
Another short post this week, this time to let you know that I am now an affiliate of Bookshop.org!

FN2N, part 7 | Economies of Knitting Pattern Production
This post brings us back down to earth to talk about economies of knitting pattern production. You will have to be VERY realistic about how much you can earn from selling knitting patterns. This is a long one, so buckle up!
