On her on-line name: she loved rats, hence R – A – T. She hadn’t had any pet rats in some time because they don’t live long enough and it broke her heart.
What’s going on here? We’re collecting photos and anecdotes for Jay, arayti’s husband, and family/friends. Anyone can jump in though you can’t comment here directly. If you’re from the LSG threads on Ravelry or the Weaponized Mango chapter on Discord, contact me privately either place with your stuff. If neither, use the “Contact Me” link at the bottom of the page.
Don’t worry that you’re duplicating information. It’s better that four people post “2 is her first circle skirt” “2 was made from a sheet she’d dyed” “2 her favorite color is purple” “2 as there were no seams, she made pockets in plackets, one of which had a hidden zipper” than expect me to remember (or laboriously hunt back through wads of text to dig it out).
You don’t have to have a snapshot to go with (say, for the kittenball run for the Tuxedo Twins). It’s a hot mess now, but will get edited together into a PDF that will be able to be downloaded from here by anybody.
Each set of photos will be collected into a PDF of their pages, and then spun off into subset PDFs of text and whatever photographs are associated with each.
All of them will be available to download (free).
