This blog update is brought to you by gulit and shame. Here it is, almost the eve of my one year blogiversary and I’ve barely written anything the whole month. Not that I think the world is waiting for my witty banter and award winning knits, but the whole point of a blog pretty much is to write, no? I think I’ve lost my mojo folks. Could someone please pick me up some on the way home tonight? Thanks.

I think this may be the longest I’ve gone without posting! I have actually had quite a bit going on but nothing really blog worthy. Just same old with working on the store and getting my handpaint mojo on. I really like the way these batches of sock yarn turned out.

My knitting has been a bit off. Now that the weather is good there is more golf and other outdoor activities. Plus, I am at a standstill on the tank I’m working on until I get it onto my longer Denise cable so I can try it on. Maybe I’ll actually do that now.

I absolutely love all the yarn I have been getting for the store. However, I never thought I would be scared of yarn. Ok, not actually scared of the yarn, but scared of failure. I feel like the response to the store has been pretty good given that it’s brand new but at the same time I am watching all these $$$ going out to yarn distributors and advertising and there aren’t many $$$ coming in yet….not that you could ever make a fortune running a yarn store anyway, but it would be nice to at least be even at some point. Enough about my woes! The yarn, oh the yarn. I am especially excited about an order I placed with Henry’s Attic. Wool, silk, mohair, linen, organic cotton, blends…all in natural colors just waiting to be creatively dyed.

I leave you with these…I can hardly believe this monster is growing in my back yard. I can’t really take credit though since it is technically my neighbor’s, but it IS in my yard and is subjected to Jim’s pruning, so I think it kind of qualifies it as “mine”.
