Site-Wide Activity

I did try Facebook ads but gave up on them as I didn't see enough of a result to justify the cost. I might try again closer to winter (June here) when there will be more interest in knitting etc.

I'm also new to starship so nice to meet you

((Hugs))
It does sound very strange indeed.
No advice, sorry. I wouldn't know how to deal with that either. I'd be crying and blaming myself and sure it was something I'd done wrong. Times like that I wish I could be less sensitive to others opinions of me and not care what ‘they' think

There's nothing substantial I can add to what the others have written, so just this: *hugs*

What? I totally read through your Tweets, and you were not being mean. You are entitled to your opinion – which was expressed as an opinion, and just because you feel differently than someone else it's not a condemnation of another person.

I've run into attitudes like what you're describing – namely “If you dare to express an opinion different…[Read more]

Joeli,
My first reaction to this was…”wait, what? I watch your scopes and catch a few tweets and this interaction makes no sense. You are nothing but sensitive to others watching.”

Ok, maybe that was my second reaction. The first was major amounts of hugs!!! What an awful way to start the day.

My question is why did she get on touch with you…[Read more]

So the periscope that she didn't like was the one about “fake” instagrams accounts — during which I said I don't think there is really such a thing, and you should post whatever it is that you love. But she said I was calling people out for being fake and being mean. I genuinely don't know how she got that from my scope, but she did and I can't…[Read more]

What I'm working on: Getting ready to release the first of 3 new colourways I have coming out this month. I'm trying something new and staggering the release (one per week) instead of all at once which is what I usually do.

What's going well: I'm super excited about my new colourways

What I need help with: I don't even know!

Oh no! I didn't realize Mei had decided to close Craftivity! I started using it in the beginning but didn't like that it was only available online.

I don't know of any single app that does all that Craftivity does. I'm using Evernote now but which is online/desk top/mobile friendly but while it does have reminders it does not have a calendar per…[Read more]

Oh, man…I'm kinda mad you told me about Craftivity because it sounds great and I want it! I've been attempting to create a similar goal/workflow tracking in Asana. I haven't really perfected it, but it sorta works. I'm curious to see if there is something great out there.

First off, *hugs*! I'm so sorry you're having to deal with this.

Like Katie, I can't help but wonder if she told you what specific posts she had a problem with. If not, then that is definitely a lot more like bullying than a productive conversation between adults. I scrolled back through some of your Twitter (you tweet a LOT haha), but I didn't…[Read more]

(((hugs)) That sounds like a lot of confrontation and very upsetting. I totally understand why you're feeling so upset!

Some clarifying questions that I have about your situation:
Was she specific about the posts and the content that she didn't like?
Was any of that information communicated to you during your business negotiations?
Is this…[Read more]

Yes @tanja-osswald! Although I find myself mostly fascinating it does get tiresome!

I'd be happy to send you some Mini-Skein samples of my hand dyed/painted Sock Garden (fingering weight) yarn. They'll be 18-20g each. I'll get those in the mail by Friday. Cheers!

@penny-shima-glanz I'll message you next week. Insanely getting stuff done for EYF today. xx

Yay, @jill-wolcott! It feels so good to communicate instead of just talking to yourself, doesn't it?

This is tiny, but I got actual comments on a post where I wasn't giving something away!

I'm doing a giveaway on instagram!
Please share/enter yourself! I would love for one of the prizes to go to a Starship Captain!
I'll giving away 3 packages, here's the first one:
