Like, which of these three yarns from Green Mt. Spinnery best suits the cardigan idea upon which they are piled?
Or, can I figure out a tank or tee that's going to use both these almost-sweater quantities of cotton in my stash? Should I go with colorblocks, a little more stranded design (oh yes, I am hooked on this now), some slipped stitches, or a bit of lace?
Or, which of these yarns might add something new and exciting to the BabyCocktails lineup, and what fibers/weights/colors do I want to play with and add to the Plucky and SHELTER ideas I already have in mind for fall? I've been moving these little piles around all week, and a trip to Seed Stitch in Salem (a super amazing yarn shop, BTW) yesterday has only added to the pile.
Then, there are all the decisions circling around an idea I have for a collection and how best to go about publishing it. Not saying anything else about this one yet, but it's percolating and I'm getting excited.
I also think it may be time to update this here blog so you can find patterns and information without scrolling down the sidebar about 200 yards, and have been planning for that as well.
And laaaaaastly, I'm working on a few new things for the wholesale end of the business, and once those changes are in place and official, I'll let you all know how you'll be able to find my patterns in your local yarn shop from now on.
-----------------------------------------------
So it's been a week without a lot of actual knitting. Many of these decisions occupy the mind too much for any sitting still to happen, plus I find I cannot focus & "over-sticky" my stitch dictionaries when I am distracted. And today is no exception. Along with future planning comes organization - so Target is calling my name! A new book and yarn system needs to be in place to hold all those things on the sofa, and my notebooks are full.
---------------------------------------------------------
But one decision this week was super easy.
What do you call a deep orangey-red pullover for late spring and early summer?
Cape Cod.
Coming out in late April, early May. (And since I know you are wondering, that's Plucky Sweater in Karat Stix)
------------------------------------
As for drinks this week? My addled brain has stayed with the classics.
Beer, Wine and a little something on the rocks before bed.
