Yay @Riin! That's wonderful!

Well, you are the boss of your knitting, so you could knit it as a pullover, but I agree with your concern about the gauge change when you get up into the yoke, so you may want to follow the pattern as-is. Or maybe swatch back-and-forth and in-the-round to see how much your gauge changes?

And thanks for the reminder about Riin! I'll be sure to…[Read more]

If May is still open I'll take that one. Thank you for the opportunity, @jill-wolcott!

Hi Jill, I would love to be a guest on your blog (September would be awesome). Jane x

Nice job LynnH. I'm the opposite–just want to be in myself. But I also want to periscope!

That's how to do it, @riin-gill!!! Look at the progress, not the bare numbers. Yay for you!

I periscoped 2 days in a row, and both days told people I'm preparing to launch my intentional living community.

AND TODAY I DID A KNITTING TECHNIQUE VIDEO FOR PERISCOPE AND HAD

And a bunch of people started following me both on Periscope and on Instagram.

Corrina I tend to agree! I learned so much in 2015 that I can't complain. Well, I can. 😉

@riin-gill – that is amazing!

My sales were down a bit this year, but I spent a crazy amount of time learning this year, so I'm good with it. And I'm starting this year with over 2000 folks on my email list – need to make good use of it!

Riin, that is awesome!

I looked at my numbers. Oy. Income down, 15%, Expenses down 48.75%. So the net is better, but I would like to improve the income too.

I was feeling bummed because my gross sales for 2015 fell far short of my goal. Then I compared it to 2014. OMG. 2015's sales were 58% higher than 2014's!!! FIFTY-EIGHT PERCENT HIGHER! WHOA!!!

So I was just sitting down to start Chart Your Stars and decided to write things down in a journal. I love journals and have lots of them, so I picked up my Doctor Who TARDIS journal, thinking it was appropriate for charting my stars and also thinking that it was still blank. Surprise! Apparently I had that same thought last year because I opened…[Read more]

@lesley-austin I didn't read the email, so I've just been punching away at this today. I am at page 13, and also trying to throw out stuff from my studio!

I found that I am feeling much more positive than I did previously in today's section. In the next section I start feeling a little unsettled–oh wait, that was when I looked at my financials,…[Read more]

@clare-devine I'm working with a new logo person, I'll let you know how it goes! (Also the package from you arrived today, thank you!!!!)

So, I've finished today's portion of Chart Your Stars and wonder what it looks like here for us to be “doing it together” as I understand we are doing? : )

After an epic few months of packing and waiting we finally left our flat in the UK and headed back to South Africa for some time with family before moving to Australia. I was exhausted but the sunshine and extra help with childcare seems to have perked me up and I am raring to go. I have been terrible at checking into this forum but hoping that I…[Read more]

Yes, @ann-tudor, I like to see the different ways everyone approaches something like this. Since I make notebooks and calendars and similar things, it was simple for me to find some mis-printed bits and hole punch and bind. And it was good for me not to get in perfectionist mode with it all…just pretty enough. It's getting to the questions and…[Read more]
