it's true, the invasion begins this afternoon, just in time for the renegade craft fair this weekend! so since you'll already be in the neighborhood, go ahead and drop by nina 's to see what's new (alien hand puppets alien hand puppets alien hand puppets) and squish some yarn! and now for the back story: (or, why is a thirty-year-old woman so obsessed with alien hand puppets?) last fall i was making lots of little finger puppets using leftover bits of sock yarn for a group show i did with my friends at beans and bagels. at some point, i was skype-ing with my nephew, who always wants to see what toys i've been making, so i started showing him the finger puppets. he picked out a favorite, and i filed it away for future reference. fast-forward to late spring, when i needed a quick-knitting something to send to said nephew, who was graduating kindergarten. and thus, the alien hand puppet was born! you know the rest, if you've been read...
