Big News From The Shibaguyz We LOVE good tools. Being crafters, the difference between a good tool and a bad one is the same as getting the job done, and getting it done right! From yarn, to hooks, to lighting we look for the highest quality tools to use in our studio. They are an essential part of our studio as much as any other crocheter, knitter, sewer, weaver... maker in general. It is in that light that we want to share with you some THRILLING news. We have just signed on to be national ambassadors for Clover-USA. Through the years we've had the good fortune to be able to work with some of the best names in the crafting world. We're obviously suckers for a well designed craft tool, and have been working with Clover tools for many years now; not just their crochet hooks, which we use exclusively here in the studio as well as in our classrooms, but all their tools. Clover is a brand that covers everything we do... from crochet and knitting, to hand sewing, to quilting and appliqué. It's always a pleasure to find a company that produces great products for something we do... hooks, needles, sewing supplies, etc. But finding one with ALL those tools, and having that all those tools easily available to the masses is rare. We were overjoyed to be able to join forces with Clover. Our friends at Clover put it this way: "If you have one plutonium rod you have one plutonium rod. If you have two plutonium rods you have nuclear fusion. If you have Clover you just have Clover. If you have Clover and the Shibaguyz you have magic. Clover is so happy to have joined into a creative, even magic, partnership with the Shibaguyz."  Coming soon on our website as well as social media channels we will be showcasing some of our favorite products and showing you how to use them in your daily lives. Stay tuned for that!
