Today’s my last official day of office work. Tomorrow inaugurates the new chapter in my life–one where I don’t have a “regular paycheck” coming in and both of us will be relying on ThreadBear for sustenance. It gives me the willies, at times, because I’ve always had the regularity of a salary, either [...]
Matt’s blog entry from Tuesday makes ME tired to read, and I live with him and all of the stuff he showed y’all. I’m just amazed at our growth, and I keep turning right back to y’all to thank you! We’ve been given an amazing opportunity and we hope to “do right” by [...]
No long, expository post for me today (several of you just went WHEW!). Just a quickie to share progress and a couple fun pictures. So off we go………
Yup, that’s flappy, finished and ready for the washing machine. Knocked it out last night, after Christie came over (HI DARLIN!) for a little tv [...]
What a great weekend! I’ve said it over and over again, but we are very fortunate to have the friends that we do and even more fortunate that we are able to move towards living the life we want to life—one stuffed full of fiber, creative people, and an all-around pleasant atmosphere. If [...]
The weekend……time to relax, to rearrange your head after a busy week, and time to get just tons of knitting and other fiber stuff done, right? Not around this place! If it weren’t bad enough (and I use the term BAD very loosely, as we’re talking about yarn and patterns and spinning fibers [...]
……..to tempt someone with yarn and other goodies…….YEAH, RIGHT!!! So tllgrrl, you’ve been warned……………
What you see there is a very stunning option for Flappy–Cascade 220 in shade 8555, your basic black, combined with Handpaint Originals HP110–Mountain Meadows. I have to agree with Gwen, that this would make an incredible bag. And if [...]
A little later than I expected, but I’m still posting options for y’all to help me decide my next project. It will be the fabulous flappy handbag from the friendly, beautiful, and talented Amy over at IndiKnits. But which color combination it will be is totally up to you, my loyal readers. [...]
I’ve been on a finishing tear of late, knocking out four scarves (pix on Friday) and this shawl over the weekend, starting that dredlock bag yesterday to be finished tonight/tomorrow, and working some on a project that’s been languishing that I need to focus on soon. But for now, I do have this UNBLOCKED [...]
Pictures, pictures, pictures…….I’ve been promising you pictures. And finally on a Tuesday, I deliver.
Last night was the semi-monthly knit night in Franklin, a bedroom community to Indy about 20 minutes southeast of downtown Indy and a rather quaint town, which we strongly considered as a location for ThreadBear, the retail experience. It’s close [...]
Quickie post in my last few minutes of lunch hour. Yeah, I’m reduced to sneaking in posts and replies over lunch and on the evenings, so that’s why it’s harder for me to keep in touch lately. When I resigned my day job to do ThreadBear full time starting August 1, I got [...]
