hi guys!

sorry i've been awol, i've missed ya! actually, i didn't go anywhere, i've been here all along. the big sale wiped me out briefly. it was great, we sold EVERYTHING we wanted to, plus some. the store is so clean & organized! we'll have to make it an annual thing. the basement is tidy too, but my desk is still abysmal ... tee-hee!

after the sale i dug in and started working on spring things, mostly designing some exclusive patterns for the store. the first is this little fitted boatneck raglan pullover in misti cotton-silk. i haven't blocked it yet, i'll get to that tonight and finalize things tomorrow. the pattern will be sold exclusively with the yarn. the textile was a little idiosyncartic so it's not a pattern i advise subing another yarn for. the yarn was really nice to work with, super soft!

there he is in action! this was actually a hard shot to get because he can see me coming from his beady little eyes on the sides of his head.

pluto's been having a day of independence. he's been climbing all over the sale yarns, picking off the price tags (and eviscerating the occasional ball band). i guess he doesn't want to part with them? he's been hitting all the really good ones, the bird know's his textiles! well, not quite, he's been hitting all the yarns at a comfortable height. anyway, better come and get your cascade quattro on sale before pluto gets to it!
