Pirates
and more pirates…day and night, night and day. I’m starting to see them in my sleep. Today, yes, today they will be finished and packaged and I will return to my life.
Pirates…..arrrh…
This Week
Since the studio is almost presentable, here are my hours this week.
Tuesday 10-6
Thursday 12 – 9
Friday 10 – 6
If you would like to pop by, please give me a call at 604-719-6665.
The studio is not retail frontage and by appointment, so please give me a call to let me know that you are coming. (I could be down the street at one of many coffee shops surrounded by knitting and an americano).
In advance, I will beg you to excuse the mess.
Thursday intermediate spinning is on from 6:30 – 9:00pm for those already registered. There will be a special treat this week which involve something fluffy. You’ll find out.
Stu, Stu, Studio…….
So, I am at 60% studio functionality. That’s good, right? At least folks can come by and visit again. Had some customers in today and Mariegold for the afternoon for a serious knit on.
All of the hand dyed I have left fits into this basket. Condensed and easy to access. I think that it will end up being kids hats but that depends on how much time I have before the next show.
The last of the felt hats. I have a few folks coming by the studio this week for try ons, so they may have homes as well. In the meantime, if you have ordered a felt hat, I am blocking them all this week so you will have yours in no time.
Thanks everyone for your orders and your support. Thanks so much.
Changes
I feel a change in the wind. Something big is about to happen. Not sure what it is yet…..but change is a comin’. In order to push things along, I finally decided to cut off my hair and no longer be a blonde. Yep, short red hair with two giant blonde triangles. It’s artsy, it’s sassy, it’s …..well it’s my new hair and it will take some getting used to.
I tried to take a picture of it, but I look so dead since Circle Craft, it will have to wait until these dark circles under my eyes disappear.
I spent last night helping Joan man her booth at the Culture Crawl. By man her booth, I mean sat on the floor and knit. I realized that we have many customers in common.
The pirate hats are coming along. I hope they are done soon. I would really like to start and finish my custom orders this week.

A Clean Slate
and here it is.
This was immensely therapeutic. To be able to wipe the entire chalkboard of the count and the obligations placed on myself before the show. I am going to be more thoughtful and realistic about the current wall list. As well as things “I have do do”. I will block in some time for new designs and “things I ache to do”.
The task of cleaning the studio is daunting. I’ve walked away from it on three separate days.
At least the shelving is back up and I can see the floor in several places. Currently, there is nowhere to work. I left for the nearest Blenz and a three shot Americano. Suddenly there was calm. And beautiful hand dyed merino twisting in my hands. Lace weight yarn and my heart equally as light.
Back to the pirate hat stack. The order should be ready for shipping in the next day or two.
