The Week Dec 5 – Dec 11

Last week’s goals with progress indicated:

• Make recommended changes to the pattern for the Gir hat & scarf, including (reluctantly) instructions for using DPNs.
• Figure out how to organize test knits for both, including what expectations to set.
• Add another pattern as a custom knit to The Yarn Office.
• Start keeping track of things people ask me if I can make. Evaluate whether or not I can or want to make them, possibly add to etsy. (Cat butt coasters aren’t exactly keeping with the vibe I’ve got going on in the shop, but if I like making them and they sell, why not?) List started in my Bullet Journal, I haven’t really decided on whether or not to make any of them yet.
• Finish the Chunky Herringbone Infinity Scarf and start a listing for it in the shop.
• Start etsy listings for the FOs I took to the event on Saturday.
• Edited to Add: Text Al to get Master John’s email addy. Email him the info for requesting a custom order from TYO and ask him to send the pics he showed me. Also pre-emptively ordered yarn from Webs, along with some other goodies.

This week:

• Make recommended changes to the pattern for the Gir hat & scarf, including (reluctantly) instructions for using DPNs. Decided to neuter the instructions, so to speak; they now talk about knitting in the round but leave it to the knitter to decide on whether to use DPNs or circulars/magic loop.
• Figure out how to organize test knits for both, including what expectations to set.
• Add another pattern as a custom knit to The Yarn Office.
• Start etsy listings for the remaining FOs I have, including the Chunky Herringbone Cowl – next step will be pics.
• Gild the reindeer head that I finally found again this morning after seeing it in a craft store a few weeks ago. (I made myself do the edits to the Gir Hat & Scarf before writing this post and before gilding the reindeer; so excited!!!)
