After months of trying to reprogram my brain, I have given up. This is the only way I can work. I bulldoze through my knitting. I cannot prioritize. Anytime I see a UFO I must attack it –regardless of what other orders or projects are waiting.

And now with Whistler thrown into the mix, I am literally knitting week to week replacing sold inventory. Don’t get me wrong, I love replacing inventory, but my stock for my Christmas shows is sad to say the least.

Whistler was exciting this weekend. The weather was unbelievable, warm, breezy, casual. More people stopped to chat and shop and browse..they seemed to have the time and weren’t running off to something else. It was delightful. I brought a bunch of UFO’s and didn’t have a chance to knit one of them until we were in the car on the way home.

I had a celebrity sale which I will not name drop, but I have to just say out loud, it was a thrill meeting you, I have loved your work forever and you made my day with your kind words….Oh and your children are gorgeous…Okay…enough drooling. I have never wanted to be one of those people who falls apart when they meet someone they admire……but talent, in whatever medium, is hopefully infectious….you always hope a little of the talent virus will rub off on you.

I am focusing on my little people designs as that inventory has been wiped out and I know I can depend on Pearl to get me back on track. She is a great friend with amazing focus.

List of shows upcoming

September 13/08 – West End Market (last date of season)
September 20/08 – Trout Lake (last date of season)

I can’t believe the market season is drawing to a close….only 5 more trips to Whistler for business this season. Hopefully many more for the snowshoeing, snowboarding, new friends and beautiful views.
