It's funny, I always think I've updated 'just the other day', and I'm always surprised to see it's been 4, 5, 10, however many days since I last posted.  Time flies when you're having fun, I guess!  So, as an effort to combat that, I'm going to start doing a few entries a week from preplanned series.  I started the Dirty Little Secrets entries last week, and I'm going to try and keep that up and also add a weekly goals entry.  

So, for this week's goals:

• Add this week's DLS entry.
• Plan for next week's DLS.
• Finish my first listing for a pair of Simply Luxury Cashmere socks
• Modify my sock bands for my Simple Luxury line (a line about ninjas just doesn't seem appropriate...)
• Start and finish a pair of Simple Luxury Alpaca socks to replace the ones that sold this weekend.
• Start redoing the 'shop' area on my website.

That all sounds doable, but we'll see how well I do!  I'm almost half way finished with the SL Cash socks, so I'm pretty sure I'll at least achieve that.

My stashbusting has been going pretty well, but I've spent a lot of time knitting up my 'favorite' flavor.  It kinda defeats the purpose of clearing things out, so I'm going to spend this week working on using up some not-so-favorite yarns that I've been ignoring.  I don't have a ton of it, but it's just going to sit in my craft room closet unless I give it away or knit it up.  Since it's a washable wool blend, it's probably not a bad thing to knit for the shop.  

I'm currently working on a pair of cut-off gloves for my husband, but I hope to have them finished by the weekend.  I've got two balls of alpaca that I haven't been able to find a use for, so the gloves count as stashbusting, too. :)  Woohoo!  Progress.

Since I've been doing so well with the clearing out, I decided to place a big order of yarn.  I'm reaching the bottom of the barrel on my stock yarns and it's the slow season for my stuff, so I figured this was a good time to make a big order.  I ordered plenty of my stock yarn, but I'm going to be introducing some cotton blends (they're amazingly soft) that will be more suited to warm summers than my straight wool blends.
