When you sign up for a user name on Chatango, it's not just the people in the Starship chat that have “taken” user names. It's everyone across the Chantango platform. So I'm not surprised KarenG is already taken (I wasn't able to use KarenR myself). Try other variations of your name until you find one that is available. You can go to the Chatango…[Read more]

@jill-wolcott I would love to be a guest, if you don't mind someone who is still basically a beginner (I didn't really kick things off until mid-2016). July would be a great month for me as I have a birthday then 🙂

I do make stuffed toys occasionally, but I'm not sure I'd use enough of them to warrant shipping. Thanks anyway!

@carmen-nuland Unfortunately, they're pretty small; about 6″ or less. But I do get a LOT of them. Like a garbage bag every 3 months or so. I just gave these to a friend who is going to use them for stuffing. If you'd like the next group, just let me know. I'm happy to ship them to you so they don't go in the landfill.

How big are the scraps? Are they long enough they could be say, stripes on a hat or pair of mittens (at least a round or two)? If they are long enough, I could probably find a home for them. Both my mother and MIL make charity items in acrylic yarns. (I'll check with them first though to make sure they aren't overwhelmed already 🙂 )

@katie-franceschi Thank you!

First, many hugs for your loss. 🙁

About social media… I have stepped away from social media on and off over the past few months, and what I've learned is that nothing blows up and your followers don't immediately disappear if you don't talk to them for a while. Most of them don't even think to wonder where you've gone. I think you've already…[Read more]

Oooh, I would love to be featured. You can find my IG feed right here: http://www.instagram.com/yarnloveyarn/

@rachel-kluesner Great, thank you!

You can repost one of mine. I post both my stuff and other peoples yarns, so just make sure you're grabbing one of my pictures. I'm @dyeabolicalyarn on IG. Thank you!

Hi @jill-wolcott,

I got sidetracked, and just now found this again. I thought I'd offered to be a guest on your blog last fall, but don't see my name on the list. I'd love to join in whenever works best for you.

Best,

Well it was me after all, @vicky-kooyman. But I figured it out and fixed it, and got it up on my website too. I was actually in the middle of doing that when I saw your email, so now I can make all my social media work overtime!

I am no help on MailChimp. It is like they speak Epsperansa or something. I don't understand anything they say. But…[Read more]

I am no help on MailChimp. It is like they speak Epsperansa or something. I don't understand anything they say. But once I learn what to do I can do it.

Stuff that went well: I moved my office back home and I'm emotionally ok with it. I wasn't sure how it would make me feel but its been good. I met a goal – I got a new renter for my longarm. Very excited as I actually contacted her to see if she wanted to rent this month and it had a positive result. Helps decrease my wariness of asking for…[Read more]

@jill-wolcott oh no. hope you figure it out quickly. i haven't used mail chimp before. on my to do list for February.

@vicky-kooyman, Well, it isn't me. When I tried it again in Mail Chimp it cut off the pages again. Boo. But I was just putting it up on my website, so we'l go that route for now.

@jill-wolcott You're Welcome. I know what you mean. Good luck.
