Knitting content(edly)

Well, the last couple of days have been busy! I have been printing, painting, packaging and posting, dipping, dyeing and ‘don’t knock that over!’-ing. I was up until 3am on Wednesday night, cleaning, skeining and broccoli green-ing, and after day two and all packages being in the post (and the first few having arrived!) I am ready to drop.

It has been a busy few days

The first few days of my shop have been a blast, all of my first customers have been so amazingly lovely and my friends so supportive, and I have my first feedback, which makes it so real.

When the postman rang the bell today I expected him to be carrying some blank base yarns for me to dye up, but they didn’t arrive. Deep down, I am a little relieved, as I am running on empty and really need a few hours to myself, but I have chores to complete, other work to do and lots of cleaning to work my arms away at, but I am super happy.

What I am absolutely determined to do today though is squeeze in a little knitting time. Just a smidgen. It’s been over a week since the almost imperceptible sound of gently clattering needles graced my ears, and my socks in progress are not progressing:

socks that go on for weeks and weeks

Now I am going to sit and knit a few rows. It will make me happy.
