Designing Shrugs

Started two different shrugs in the small (size 34) size so that I could finish them a little sooner than designing the original in size 1x. But, this morning I have to go the frog pond for three inches... very unhappy with the look.

This last week has been very busy. Interviewed for another client (bookkeeping) which is a couple of hours a month. Finished another bolero jacket, started another bolero jacket. Corrected the second christmas sock design now I just need to re-knit the socks. Jesse's socks he wants the ribbing to be 12" long now, so back to size 1 knitting needles for another pair of Jesse socks, maybe this time will be a different house design. Finished silk/wool socks (Regia yarn) size 8 for another friend.

Received in the mail this week Dangles yarn, 10 skeins of royal blue alpaca yarn, and some incredible new colors from MCY. No, I can't show you pictures of the yarn as I have to design, knit, and submit it first. I ordered a few other skeins of yarn that well, I won't re-order from them.

Place a huge order for KPPPM multis from Kyarns and Patternworks. Nothing like overwhelming list of projects yet to do.

Catching Up With The World

Well, Hughes.net came on by the house (guy was out of Phoenix and did a service call in Winslow first) put a new antenna up and a new modem in the house. Modem in the house will have a problem come spring with moths that get in the house being attracted to the blue lights. So, many of the machines in the house emit light at night. Coffee maker has enough green light emitting that I don't have to turn on lights to see my way into the bedroom.

Sunday, the local newspaper (Kingman Daily Miner) published in the business section a very nice article by Jennifer Bartlett concerning my internet business www.scarvesforallreasons.com I really enjoyed the article and quite a few people from Kingman have dropped by the blogspot (google analytics).

Still making socks. Finished the set of size 10.5 womens, moving on to the size 15 mens, then finally size 12 double e womens. Also, designing a cotton tank top for spring/summer.

Hope you have a wonderful week.

Starting a New Year

Well, 2007 is certainly starting out very different than last year. Quiet New Year's Eve (hard to wake the neighbors when we are in bd at 8:30) and a quiet New Year's Day. First thing on tuesday that happened was a sock order, President Ford's Funeral, and phone calls regarding accounting. All the accounting calls were past urgent.... so, raced (30 miles one way) into town to help out people. Got, a new accounting client so I get to do accounting work 4 times a month not including my own books.

Received a large order of sock yarns from Astrid at AstridsDutchObsessions.com I got the Opal Feelings collection, and some Trekking yarn for some socks that people asked for in December. So, knit knit knit.

The Shop addition exterior is completed, the interior walls are now completed, the doors are on the shop, and now the lighting is being arranged. Husband is slowing down a little in the frantic race against cold weather.

We have heard from all our family and everyone is doing well which is a miracle much appreciated.

Have a great weekend.
