Knitten Pin Reveal & Mailing Status

Our November Pins are the Pride Knittens!  Crafty little familiars to bridge you from spooky season into sweater season.

We unlocked 3 flags per month for hitting 300+ members! Learn more about new tiers and legacy tiers in our Tier Changes Post. 

The Three Knittens for this month:

• The Gay Breakfast is LGBTQ Knitten.
• The Special is Ace Knitten.
• The *new* Seasonal is Demi Knitten.

To get multiple pins:

• The *new* Combos get you 2 pins (Details in our Tier Changes Post)
• The *new* Prix Fixe gets you all 3 pins, and 
• The *new* worldwide Buffet comes with all three plus a mystery pin— 4 pins total!

The Coupon Club is a great way to take a break and still access 20% off our store, plus our upcoming design polls. It also helps to keep us at a membership level where we can continue to offer 3 flags a month.

Old retired tiers will get the same combination of pins they always have. But if you change tiers, you cannot return to old retired tiers later.  

All pledge changes made before Oct 31st at 11:59PM Pacific will apply to these pins, and will not be charged until November 1st!

Please help us spread the word on Twitter when we post about it tomorrow.

Mailing Schedule:

We also want to remind you that we mail quarterly now.  This means the next 3 months of pins will be mailed simultaneously in January. Here is the reasoning:

• Pin Production times are trending longer.  We used to be able to get pins in 4 weeks and it is taking 6-8 weeks, even without factory closures.
• Inflation is hitting everybody, including us.  Rather than raise prices to match inflation, we can keep prices lower if we mail 2-3 months at once.

Current Mailing Status:

• We are currently mailing August-October (Thylacine, Opossum, and Bat) pins for veteran patrons, in order of join date. If your tracking info looks weird, please remember that USPS recycles old tracking numbers, and if you check back in a couple days it will probably look better.
• When we went viral for the bats, we had to place a second order, and they are almost done with production. Our 150 newest patrons will get Bat Pins in November. 

All that said, when we manually merge spreadsheets for 2-3 different months, we can occasionally make errors.  It is extremely work-intensive, but we want to do this rather than raise pledge prices more.  If we make any errors on your order, please message us here and at support@GayBreakfast.GAY—and we will work to resolve any fulfillment errors on our part during our next mailing.

Thank you so much for your support and patience as we adapt to changes in membership and the economy!
