that things always get so crazy right when the busy season gets rolling? Between major house construction and preparation for our short move to the NYC area, nothing is really getting done! I've cranked down this week and have been tying up loose ends, left and right, but still haven't had much opportunity to create anything new for the shop. I'm finishing up a pair of cashmere socks, right now, so that I can ship immediately, if they're purchased. I also plan on starting (and hopefully finishing!) a sweater panel and starting (and hopefully finishing!) a pair of tabi in a lovely variegated wool. Then, if I have any time, I may make some stuff for ME! Ya know, since I'll be in a place that gets snow this year. And I just realized...I'm going to have pack up some of my stash for immediate use, so my MIL isn't constantly mailing me stuff. :) It's a good thing I've been spending a lot of time working down my stash. I'll probably be able to take all of my working stuff, plus a good chunk of my play stuff.
The man-thing started his job hunt about three weeks ago, and has finally settled on a position. As of 1 Sept., he is gainfully employed! Woohoo! He'll be working in NYC, so we're going to have a hefty dose of madness while we work on getting this place fixed up and closed.
I've missed the city, and it'll be nice to be back. What I'm really looking forward to is the yarn!! So many places that have mill ends and mill-cost pricing. Total drool.
Oh, that and the cool weather. I freakin' hate Georgia summers.
Nice thing about anticipating cooler weather is the delight of knitting heavier winter stuff for us. I've cranked out two pairs of convertible mittens and get the magnets for the closures today. I may list a few pairs in my shop to see how they do, too.
