MIA

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”.
