Radio Silence ~
By Sarah | May 20, 2008
Do you spy a spindle? Why yes you do! Stay tuned…..
Has it really been a week? I certainly didn’t intend for all that time to pass without popping in to say “Hey there. How’s things?” Well, a big week it has been. Let’s re-cap:
- I quit (several weeks ago) my day job and had my last day at the Firm this past week.
- Plucky Girl passed her drivers test and drove, all by her lonesome, to her cousins house and her job at the coffee shop. Oy. FYI – she’s doing a great job. But.Still. Oy.
- Been obsessivley perusing Ravlery and decided that I must knit this. And, will have time now (see item number 1), imagine that!!!
- Of course, it goes without saying that I have been dyeing. And dreaming up the next installment of Plucky Classics. And pattern ideas (I’m just an idea person, I leave the big pattern writing to the professionals). Speaking of professionals…..Have you seen Confection, Kirsten’s latest pattern (boy can she churn out some real beauties!)? I have one other skein of Pout available along with some other skeins of the MCN sport – what lovely cowls they will make!
Pout – MCN Sport
Look what else has made its way to the shop……these and lot’s more. Enjoy!
Caspian – Merino Single Ply
Summer of Love – Merino Bulky
Roman Holiday – Merino Superwash Fingering
Kensington – BFL Superwash (my original BFL base, back in stock…yay!)
Now, off to sweep up the dust bunnies Great Danes that have accumulated. Blogging isn’t the only thing that has suffered this past week.

Good for you – I know you were nervous about the job thing but I know it’s all going to work out perfectly. And good for Plucky Girl – although I know you are nervous about that too.
Can’t wait to see all the fabulous knitting you will get done now.

The Roman Holiday sport I bought from you is fantastic! I am making a shrug for my seven-year-old and it is just wonderful to work with. We are in love with the colors!
Thank you!
(P.S. Once I finish I will post a picture at my place and send you a peek)

Wow, big changes! That’s so exciting for you. Congrats on your new ventures — and Plucky girl’s too.

Does this mean you’ll be working full time with your yarns now? If you start doing shop updates more frequently I’m going to have to pick up another part-time job in order to afford my yarn habit.
Good luck with all the life changes!

Dear lady,
I’m dreaming up some yarn for my wedding shawl, but can’t find the right colorway. Do you, or would you ever consider, custom dyeing? Please let me know your thoughts
Glad to hear you’re doing well!

Congrats on all your changes. What an exciting time! I love that sweater too…let me know what yarn you are thinking of using! I’m in the search for something perfect.

Congrats on quitting the day job!

I cannot wait to see what you are cooking up for the Plucky Classics – hee hee! And your new yarns – all gorgeous! You have such a gift , and I am glad you are free to spend so much more time using it, for my own selfish purposes:)
Kirsten on May 20, 2008 at 7:24 pm.
Congrats!! It is good for all of us if you have more free time! That means more time to dye up pretty, pretty yarn!
Good luck with Plucky Girl’s driving. I’ll be joing in the “oy” club in a few short months.

Aw, congrats on being able to leave the out-of-the-home job. Hope to hear the “back-story” to it all sometime.
krysten on May 20, 2008 at 11:39 pm.
i’m afraid of all you’ll be able to come up with now that you have all this “free time”!!
i’ll be selling my plasma to keep up!

Yippee!!! Finally an excellent decision, on and upwards to your new venture!

Yee Haw! Congrats on leaving the day job for what feeds your soul! Awe-some! (I have 11 work days left myself!).
I can’t wait to see more yummy stuff from you. You should have seen me at Village this past week indecisive of what Plucky I wanted – too many wonderful things to choose from!

Hooray for the ever-plucky goddess of gorgeous yarn! A star rising stratospherically higher in the galaxy of fiber magic. Here’s to you, cutie pie!!!
