2010 Holidays in the Shop!

Hey everyone,

I’m going to be doing something a bit different for the holidays this year, due to my schedule being a bit more complicated that usual.

So here’s the deal:

Starting on Friday, Nov 19: Free shipping on all orders, everywhere in the world. This will last until I put my shop into vacation mode in early Dec.

On Wed, Nov 24, every order* will get an extra discount, but it’ll be a surprise as to how much. I’ll refund back somewhere between 5% & 25% of your order via paypal on Wed only.

On Fri, Nov 26, everything in the shop* is buy one, get one half-off until noon Pacific time.

At some point after Dec 1 (and I reserve the right to make that whenever I feel like I can’t keep up with any more orders & get things out before I leave the country for two weeks), I will put the shop into vacation mode. This will last until I return from Toronto in early January. All orders will be shipped no later than Dec 12, unless you order AFTER Dec 1, and you live in Canada, in which case, I will be bringing your yarn to Toronto with me and shipping from there, because with holidays & customs, it’ll probably get to you faster that way.

I will do my best, especially on Nov 26, to be at the computer most of the day and restocking as things sell.

Happy holidays, whatever they may be, everyone! :-)

*All sales exclude sock club memberships, sorry, gotta keep those at a stable price to make them work

It's the first of November...

And clearly, I decided I wasn't busy enough with everyday things. In addition to looking for a "real job" while running the business side of dyeing yarn, doing custom and regular colourways, coming up with new colourways - time consuming it its own right! - my brain went "oh, no, not even close to busy enough!"

So what is an overachiever with not even close to enough time on her hands supposed to do? Join in for both NaNoWriMo AND NaKnitMo (Ravelry link). Thankfully someone handed me an extra hour to use for these (un?)wise endeavors.

A notion of my "progress," as it were, for today (keeping in mind, it's not even noon yet):

• Ordered skeins to be dyed: 8
• Skeins to work up prototypes for: At least 15 (probably won't get there today)
• Stitches knit for NaKnitMo: 756, post-midnight, prior to sleep last night
• Wordcount for NaNoWriMo: 675
• Hockey games to watch: 3 (Sharks, on now; Caps & Canucks, both on later) + 1 to listen to (my WHL team is on the road)
• Sleep: so far, 4 hours

Who, me, busy? Oh, and I need to relist some yarns, take some pictures, post some here, mess with the layout some, since I'm going to try and update at least once a week here with my yarnie goings-on. In the meantime, come visit me, you can find me all sorts of places:

And of course, here. I hope you'll join me as I attempt to be a crazybusy person without actually going crazy. Wish me luck!
