Congratulations on keeping up with a flexible schedule! That's a wonderful and apt Hebrew idiom.

BTW, I love your photos of the cats on your social media!

Whatcha workin on? What’s going well?

Getting the last of everything photographed for the new catalog so we can get it back from the printer before TNNA. It will be 16 pages!

Also working on a sweater I want to get finished before TNNA because I don't actually have any summer sweaters, and AC is always blasting in convention centers, so I d…[Read more]

Wow, that's great news @barbara-kish! There's your excess yarn solution.

Its been a LONG few days! I missed chat today because I ran down to a yarn shop (Tolt Yarn and Wool in Carnation, WA) to get yarn that I needed for one of my patterns and because it was the first day of our LYS (Local Yarn Shop) tour here in the Puget Sound, I had to stop at 2 more on the way home! <BIG GRIN>

What's going well?
My book! Zipping…[Read more]

do you have link to blog / website?

Working on: I'm in between shows, so I've been taking a small break (doing some planning and experimenting). I have a small, private trunk show (at a knitting retreat) and a big show coming up next month, so I'm gearing up for prep for those shows. I'm also working on a couple of patterns, a hat that's currently with test knitters, a shawl that's…[Read more]

Tanja, great news on the electronic publication issue being settled!

Oh man, I thought of something else I need help with… I need a catchy name! Something either space themed, or to go along with the name of the poster collection, Visions of the Future…

Visions of Fiber: A far-out fiber club for intrepid explorers of space?

…yep, naming things is not my strong suit…

@karen-robinson I'm actually using Wix, too (I think we're in the minority!) and I've seen the etsy app thing, but haven't looked into it any further. I'll have to give it a shot!

I'm still a little on the fence about going the 3-month sign-up route over providing 1, 3, and maybe 6 month options, so if anyone has any more specific input on this…[Read more]

What Karen said! Exactly what Karen said is what I did.
Well, my first kit, I just offered “Buy 3 months, buy 6 months”, in my Etsy shop. They had to pay all at once, because I didn't want to mess with missed payments.
As you're thinking this through, I'm not entirely sure that I would let people join each month or drop out each month…it's…[Read more]

Do you have a photo?

The first blog review of my book was posted today: https://jetztkochtsie.wordpress.com/2016/05/18/haekeln/ It is in German, so you probably won't be able to read it. But she took the time to really check out the book and wrote a lot of nice things about it. She also has made a project from one of the patterns. 🙂

Whatcha workin on?
Tomorrow, I'll have to send in two handouts for classes in mid-June. I got comments from my proofreader back today so it is just one more round of corrections.
Besides, I've been finishing projects and starting new ones. Mainly critters for my book but two pairs of mitts are waiting for photos and patterns, too.

What’s going w…[Read more]

Accomplishments:
Daughter graduated college – whirlwind trip to South Carolina and back in a weekend. It took over a week to recover. Not much on my list was accomplished – some knitting.

Working on:
Two patterns are ready to go – just need photographs and send to editor. I like the earlier suggestion to set a deadline.
Playing around with…[Read more]

Can you tell me a little more about the audience for this, so I can figure out if I have anything suitable? Or you can look at my Etsy shop and make a request: https://www.etsy.com/shop/amysnotdeadyet

Thanks!

I have been itching to knit again and would be interested in #starshipbiz yarn!

what are you working on? All the things — some old/existing projects and some very new.
what's going well? Embracing each day being vastly different and unique and establishing as flexible a schedule as I can. there's a hebrew idiom Ein Rega Dal/אין רגע דל it means never a dull moment (literally – there is no poor minute). 🙂
how can we help? i'm good.

{hugs} i will read through all of this soon (including updates/replies) and take a quick look at all of this and see if i have some quick DIY advice for you. hang in there!
