Hey @vicky-kooyman, thanks for letting me know. Jeez it never fails that something goes wrong when you are trying so hard! I've fixed the pdf so all the pages are included–but now I have to figure out how to fix the rest of it.

I'm a knitwear designer and educator. Thanks for taking the time!

Thanks @karen-george

Hi Jill
I'm new here and do not know exactly what you do. I tried to follow the link for your Headband Recipe and it gives me 4 pages. At the bottom of the pages it says there should be 8 pages. Am I missing the last 4 pages or are you splitting the distribution of the pattern. Sorry if this is a stupid question.

Yes, it is daunting, I went by the picture of the card that they had up. I did wind up using Juli Tsyr but live and learn…make sure that whoever you use has the graphics you need. I was in too deep before I realized that she didn't have a graphic for a crochet hook so I had to go with just knitting needles. All in all, a good experience and…[Read more]

@karen-george I just looked at Fiverr.com and I'm completely overwhelmed. How did you pick someone?

I'm so sorry for your loss!

With clients, I just update them with an email getting back in touch, detail level depending on how close we are, and include a tentative new timeline. Sometimes it helps if there is small progress I can do so that I can say, hey, I'm behind but I got this small thing done, I've had a family emergency and will need to…[Read more]

Thanks, @jill-wolcott! The link is in our evernote.

Thank you, @shelley-husband and @tara! It was good to have the Starship people back me up with this.

Whatcha Working On?

I am working at the speed of slow this week. This cold has completely kicked my ass. Just getting done what I can or have to.

What’s Going Well?

I got my headband recipe out, belatedly in a Special Edition of my newsletter. If anyone is looking for a share, feel free! here's the Bitly: http://bit.ly/2jRJIrP

Whatcha Workin On? Lots of swatching, writing, knitting, tech editing and testing, so same old, same old.

What's Going Well? There is a *small* chance that I might book myself a flight and head across the Atlantic to go to EYF (It's on my bucket list). I'm waiting to make sure I have coverage for the kidlets. What's not going well is that my…[Read more]

(((Hugs)))I'm sorry for your loss. I have no advice other than you don't owe anyone an explanation and you should disclose no more or no less than you are comfortable disclosing.

Yay @petra-sielias! So glad to do it! (I love that IG name.)

What @katie-franceschi said! Follow people who will make coming to your IG feed a joy!
And, while you're at it, if anyone uses your hashtag (and is buying your patterns), follow them and encourage them all the time! (Unless they just post a lot of stuff that makes you miserable, like politics or religion).
In other words, don't worry about…[Read more]

Good job, Tanja! It sounds like you came to the right decision for you and I'm so proud of you for standing up for yourself! YAY!

Oh, I'm so sorry for your loss, Linda. GIANT HUGS.
I know @sasha-torres lost her mother last year (or the year before) and she may have insight into how she handled it, but of course every situation is different.

First of all, PERMISSION to not say anything. If you don't want to talk about it and don't want to say anything, don't. You certainly…[Read more]

@tanja-osswald those are awesome. Be sure to give me the link for my newsletter!

To anyone following along, but new to the Starship, I will link to your whatever in my newsletter. I've changed from weekly to bi-monthly in 2017. Next News is 2/9! I don't care if it is fiber-y. Oh, and if you think I notice things in your newsletter, I don't.…[Read more]

So I'd love an update on where you are now, Dawn! I agree that your “plan for MONTH” is really just a to do, that you do each month. It's not like it takes other preparation (unless it does?).
I kinda think this goal (posts written through March, which is the end of the quarter) is either a goal for one month (ie, I'm going to write three month's…[Read more]

@barbara-kish YAY! I am so glad you came back and updated us! ANd I'm so glad you're doing some projections and using last year's numbers to help plan this year! Sooooo happy to read this! xoxo!
