I'm such a business wo-man

Holy shit! I'm all giddy with the wonderousness-osity of the world. I had my meeting at my LYS about her carrying my yarns yesterday and it went swimmingly. This is what I took to show her. A good deal of my stash, stuff that wasn't listed in my shop yet. This is what I came back with! That's right fiber fans, she bought me out and ordered 16 monster hat kits and 10 raggamuffin-mitten kits. Plus, more, more, more! Like I'm a regular supplier for her shop now! How crazy and wonderful is that? I'm serioulsy shocked and happy and humbled. I can't believe my good fortune. Wowsa. And it's such a great shop and she's so incredibly sweet and supra-cool. If you're local to baltimore, stop by A Good Yarn at Anne street and Aliceanna in Fell's Point.

Werd to ya mutha. Heh. It makes me laugh everytime I say that. Can you say it without laughing? No, really, go ahead and try?

Told ya.

I sent out a huge batch of orders. And here they are all wrapped up in my fancy-ass packaging. People like recycled wrapping, right? Sometimes even pay extra for it, no? But really, I do it to protect the innocent, so people's neighbors and spouses will think you're receiving mail order sex toys instead of the ever embarrasing more yarn purchase.

Then there's the dyeing. I did these 4 lbs last night and here they are all dumped on the table. Here it is all rolled and balled. All the stuff on the left in merino, the right back is romney, right front is falklands and the tiny balls in the middle are yearling mohair. Yep. Lotsa, lotsa. It's my 2nd dye batch this week. As a bee, I say, as a bee.

And finally, knitting. I've been doing a bit here and there. I started a branching out scarf, my first scarf ever, in fact. I've completed 10 repeats so far out of a single I made several months ago. So far it's lovely.

Actually, dude, re: your comment on my fleecewashing, I'm not protesting too much at all. I've got to do about two months of fleecewashing in four or five days and it pisses me off mightily. I can wash a fleece in a week if I have to, and I have um, at least five or six in that sack. And I have to work this weekend. It's gonna be ugly. (and I would have emailed you this comment but I don't have your email, baby) *g*

And I was rude enough to talk about me instead of you, 'cause I'm sort of a bitch like that.

Congrats on the sales! You're in the bigtime now.
