This is amazing, I'm an hour outside London and would love to take a class with you. Craft your customer path, discovering your right person, all very appealing 🙂 would be great to meet up. I've just watched today's Periscope, you made me smile with your ‘being real'.

CONGRATS, Tara! How exciting for you both! I haven't been off the continent either so I know how big this is!

Can't help with where to teach though.

@tanja-osswald Thank you =) Great idea! You always have such great ideas!

Today's the last day for people to sign up for my yarn club. I jumped into doing this yarn club as a result of the Biz Confidence Challenge. That really gave me the push to do this (thank you, Tara!), and I'm happy with the results so far.

I came up with a number of spaces for the yarn club as the cap that I determined to be the number of skeins…[Read more]

I knit my own samples. Mostly that's because I like to make sure what I have down on paper really works and I feel like I need to go through that process myself, especially as I frequently make adjustments as I'm working through a project.

I do use test knitters. I used to do the test knit first and then have my pattern tech edited, but now I do…[Read more]

Depending on how well I knew the person, I'd do one of two things:
1. An email: Hey there friend! I saw you're doing blah blah, which, from the outside seems an awful lot like *thing I sell*. Can you help me see how it's different?
2. Cease and desist letter.

That's if it's something like a product I sell. If it's flat-out copying my free…[Read more]

Thanks, Tara!

I've decided, for now, to keep the Etsy URL using karendawn instead of changing it. I will revisit this decision in a few months and see what I think then. I'm directing people to http://www.roundtableyarns.com these days rather than my Etsy shop anyway because I've integrated my Etsy shop directly into my website.

And for the yarn bases,…[Read more]

@tanja-osswald
Thank you so much for making this clear ask!
I had looked up the email messages and almost included them in my last reply, but didn't want to argue it farther unnecessarily. I think that's what you mean by not willing to take responsibility for it. That is certainly not the case, as I fully take responsibility for my part of it…[Read more]

@linda-tieu HAHA! I know what you mean, but the idea that I would have no problems is hilarious, as I just dealt with no working dryer for over a week, got bad info from an “electrician” that was a friend of my landlord, bought a new dryer (the dryer repairman (who we had to pay for!) said, “I can't find anything wrong, so it must be the motor,…[Read more]

Thanks for that @joeli-kelly. I think what I'll do is do some measuring myself using cm instead of inches and find what works for me. I've got a spreadsheet to convert, so making it useful is the key! Thanks.
