I spent the whole day at my computer. Tuesday is supposed to be my day off, and I did get to go to Knitting Guild for an hour and a half, but otherwise I worked from the time I woke up until now, bedtime. However, I sure did get a lot done! I’m always wishing to do more in less time, but I think it was a productive day.

My website is set up now, with new pages to show you my New Yarns! That is what took the most time today. I had to photograph, process the photos so they look as close to the real-life colors as possible, write web pages, plunk the pictures into the web pages, copy the pages out to the web. I like the work, but it just takes a long time.

I hope you enjoy my new works of art. One thing to notice now… I am offering “short skeins,” some of them in semi-solid colors, to go with the full sized skeins I typically offer (225 yards, which is enough for one pair of stockinette small womens’ socks).

The small skeins happen when I encounter a knot in the yarn, or if the cone has more yarn on it than promised. I can’t guarantee I find all of them, but all the knots I find, I stop winding the skein right there and start over. Since my yarn usually comes in 1/2 lb cones (2 skeins), that means a lot of short skeins.

This new development (short skeins) can help those who need just a bit more yarn (I figure for heels/toes/possible rib at top of cuff) to make a pair, without forcing them to buy a second full skein. The possibility of a mini skein also invites stripe options, minisox, baby slippers, you name it.

So… keep going when the link at the bottom of a page says “Next,” and you will see the short skeins. Assuming you go there to peek at my new lovelies, that is.
