the blue blog archives: so much yarn and no knitting

The first yarn packages are on their way out today! Three bags full, of course. Uh, this whole tracking orders and payments and packaging things up shebang takes some serious time. I don't know how someone like Dani runs a business like this and gets any knitting done at all!

Funny story... Dani and I actually use the same post office and when I showed up today with all my yarn packages, the woman who was working the counter said she knew that Dani was moving and was I her replacement. Ohhhh noooo, there's no replacing Dani! Thank goodness she'll still be dyeing her fabulous yarns from Colorado. No, no, a week or two of this yarn "business" and I'm done. Then I can get back to knitting again!

Sorry, I'm a post late with commenting. The olive hat is so cute, I guess I'll have to buy the Anderson book after all! Do you think it's silly to have a sort of "hope chest" for as-yet non-existent grandchildren? Or is that just asking for trouble?

I've just made the connection between you and the Harry Potter knitting book I bought Saturday at BAM. You're one and the same. I'm not usually this slow, but I just retired (literally, this is my 1st day being retired) and I've been a little preoccupied. Love the book!!!

Aww, so sweet :), thanks Alison! I know - the packaging, organizing, emailing, mailing takes some serious work - I spend about a third of my time doing that, then about a third reskeining, and a third dyeing. Those PO people are so awesome there.... I'll have some orange news for you tomorrow :)

I have to agree with you about Dani's Sunshine Yarns. The yarn is beautiful and ships out so quickly. It almost makes you wonder if she has an arrangement to sleep at the post office. :)

I'm very happy that she is going to continue the business from Colorado!
