It's the first Links a la Mode of the year and yet most of this stuff is from last month. Oh well. I've been busy with the holidays, catching up with work and crafting.

• Debbie Stoller's new yarn reviewed here. There's a sale on the yarns here if you're interested in trying them out for yourself.
• It's not news that ex-CEO Rob Kalin is returning to his CEO position over at Etsy, but the discussions amongst Etsians are ongoing. Have you chimed in yet?
• Not sure how I found this link but I love the color-your-own Dress idea. I'm not much of a sewer, but when it comes to coloring, well...that's right up my alley. Check out more of the designer's work here.
• Yokoo was in the NYT a while back. Did you see it? Now that's some great press for makers and crafters everywhere.
• Where will Craftivism as performance art take contemporary art? The Journal of Modern Craft posted an interesting article on Craftivism and Yarn Bombing in Tazmania last month.
