what's going well
So many things. Moving forward on everything and it feels good.
Had to be up at 4a to help get E out the door for a 48 hour business trip (Columbus then Salt Lake, he lands back at LGA at 10pm tomorrow) … That felt good. I miss getting up early. I laze in bed now so the cats won't wake him up. Screw that. I'm going back to my…[Read more]

A few questions to help you spark a name:
What do you imagine a person using it for?
What inspired it?
What's the yarn name?
Does this issue of the magazine have a theme?

The unemployment agency? What is there to audit? Payroll records? Hang in there!!

Thank you so much @karen-robinson and @jess-cook. And thank you @jill-wolcott – I need someone to tell me that every once in awhile! I appreciate you all!

So I had to quit my traditional job, 1. to take care of my mother and 2. One person was just to mean for the 14 hours a week that I put in there.

Whatcha workin on? I working on trying to make $800 a month. This means I need to finsih mapping my stars, and figure out where the money is going to come from. I started testing products form a…[Read more]

So much awesome this week!!!

@jill-wolcott and @penny-shima-glanz it looks great, hooray!!!

@riin-gill congratulations, that's a major accomplishment!!!

@ann-tudor well done for raising your prices without freaking out!!! I also love what Jill said – you deserve to be paid fairly and YOU are the one who gets to decide what to price your work.…[Read more]

Well I did read the responses. What I noticed before I did @lisa-barnes was that it felt a bit like a spinning top/pinwheel, which gave it very nice energy. I think that might be related to the different color weights. Anyway, I think it is quite nice.

@ann-tudor, Good for you! While it is important to have sales, it is also important to price your work properly. Since I famously get the occasional “are you FKM?” about my pattern prices (and they always assure me how they would totally buy it but it just too expensive, I would have so many more sales, etc.) I know what it feels like. But we…[Read more]

Yay, @ann-tudor! And you'll totally continue to have sales!

If you need to learn the how to use two circular needles part, I actually just created a tutorial for that this week.

As for socks using two circular needles, there are two books I know of:
Knitting Circles around Socks: Knit Two at a Time on Circular Needles by Antje Gillingham
Socks Soar on Two Circular Needles: a Manual of Elegant Knitting…[Read more]

Well I did it! I raised my prices – GASP – after mulling this around for months (I know – seriously!) I finished Pay Yourself and was able to really see what my profit margin was and what I needed to do to make what I want. Thankfully I had done Pricing 101 when I first started so I was in the ball park. I was going to increase a few more…[Read more]

I will have to check and see what the plans are CC – we are still figuring it out 🙂

I like it, but I would like it even more uf the colors were equally in density (is that how you say that?).

A ball of yarn with people dancing around it. – And before I took a closer look, it looked like a flower.
