🎉 We Did It!! 🎉
I’m so incredibly grateful, thank you for making this campaign such a success! Your support means the absolute world to me!!! 💛
So… what happens next?
📋 S...
Things are all bubbling along happily behind the scenes! Stickers are here, cardigans are estimated to arrive in a fortnight and pins are plating. SO! It is time to charge cards and make sure everything else that needs to go ahead can do so before shipping!
Cards will be charged on Wednesday 22nd April.
You will receive a warning via email 48 hours before this happens.

Unfunded Stretch Goal Items
The Moth Cardigan and both sock designs will not be going ahead this time - I would like to do a knitwear campaign later in the year so will bring those back! Thank you to everyone who supported these items, I will let you know when they are available later on.
Both banner designs and the moth bookmark are in production!
As always, thank you so much for being here and supporting my work! If you're interested in EVEN MOAR PINS check out my Porcelain Pooches and Bark Types campaign which is live right now 😍
My inbox is open for queries, so if you need any help please email [email protected]
This is an exciting one for those who have pre-ordered the Purple Dragon Cardigan! It's the frst look at a knitted back panel!
You may notice that the colours are slightly different to the digital mock up. I felt that the dragons got lost on darker clouds so chose to switch it around a little to ensure everything stands out. I am super happy with how this panel has turned out!
The moth cardigan is likely to go on the backburner for now as we simply don't have enough pre-orders to fund them. If anyone who has pre-ordered the moth would like to switch it for a dragon cardigan please let me know and I can do that for you! Moth cardigans will automatically be removed from your pledges before cards are charged (unless we have some last minute orders) so you only need to email me if you'd like to swap designs. [email protected]
Pin production is chugging along, these will be a little longer yet so I will post once production is nearing completion.
Orders will lock on Friday the 3rd of April. As pins are in production, the quantities are now set so it's time to lock down those order. You will receive a 48 hour warning via email! I will not charge cards at this time, that will happen nearer to the shipping date. I will of course update you again before this happens 🥰
Moving soon? No worries - you will still be able to update your address until the pins arrive at HQ.
Bookmark Samples
Finally something shiny to show you!!
Aren't they BEAUTIFUL?! They came out so much prettier than I could have hoped! They are so elegant and feel sturdy even with the intricate details - I already have one keeping my page in my current book (Service Model by Adrian Tchaikovsky, if you were wondering, although I am also listening to the Dungeon Crawler Carl audiobooks).
The Death's Head Hawk Moth could do with a little help to unlock, but having seen this sample I am tempted to self fund it regardless, so don't be surprised if you see it suddenly unlock soon!
Cardigan Samples
Midnight Moth cardigan samples are also here, and I'm obsessed.
Here is the medium being modelled! These need a little more help to unlock but I will keep hustling to try and get enough backers!
Hello all! It is that part of the campaign where things get a little boring I'm afraid, but fear not, this stage leads to the best bit - ✨ shiny things ✨
Thank you for getting your surveys in nice and promptly, I have enough data now to place the order so pins are in production! Bookmark and banner samples are also underway and I can't wait to show you photos once they are complete.
First off I would like to say a massive thank you to my Smoke Test backers who received their surveys on Friday. Nearly all of you got them back right away which means I could quickly make sure everything is working nicely and send the rest right away!
Surveys are now with all backers! 🎉
I have created loads of add-ons for you all this time, more than I have for any other campaign, and I hope there are lots of goodies you like! If your pledge payment failed when cards were charged at the end of the campaign, you now also have a second chance to secure your goodies as your pledge has been imported to the surveys.
Please complete surveys by the 15th of March! You will still be able to make changes after this date, but if they are mostly completed by then I will have a good idea of numbers required so I can order all of the shiny goodness. I will announce the survey lock date once stock starts to arrive.
Tracked International Shipping Upgrade 📫
Tracking is not included for most packages, and I highly recommend upgrading to tracked shipping if you are a backer outside of the UK! I will be sending tracked packages first, so if you're impatient then that's another added perk of upgrading 😋
Midnight Moth Cardigan 🌙
Since the smoke test was sent I have received the final pricing and sample photos for the Midnight Moth Cardigan - so this has been added as a stretch goal! These cardigans are BEAUTIFUL, I cannot put into words how soft and luxurious they are.
Front
Back
Back Knitted Details
Front Embroidered Details
These beauties are something extra special, and I really hope we can fund them! They have a gorgeous weight to them thanks to the jacquard knit used. Any international pledges containing these will automatically be upgraded to tracked shipping at no extra cost - so if you add one of these to your pledge you won't need to buy the tracked upgrade!
All of the important info about materials and sizing is in the add-on listing, the TLDR version is that they're made of fancy core-spun acrylic, which makes them SUPER soft and ND friendly. There are also two sizes, they're slightly different to my previous knitwear pieces due to the new shape but as an over-sized piece designed to be worn open, they will look wonderful on all of your gorgeous bodies. I also realised when I listed them that I have been calling them the wrong name this whole time, oops 🤣
Need Help? Please email me!
BackerKit does not always notify me when comments are posted so I often miss them. If you need help with your survey, or think I have set something up incorrectly - please email me on [email protected]! I will get back to you as soon as I can.
