Wow!

Wow! is about all I can say today. We have had a tremendous response to the Mystery Kit idea! Looks like a lot of people are going to be getting surprise in the mail!

Oh, and her is something else I thought of late, late last night. Looking for a ROAK gift or a Secret Pal gift? I’d be happy to ship a Mystery Kit to someone else for you. Just write me a note in the comments section of the checkout and let me know you’ve ordered it as a secret pal gift and tell me who to send it to! I promise, I won’t tell them who sent it, it will be our little secret. Oh, I hope someone does that, it would be so much fun to know that someone really is getting a total surprise!

I’ve got a little bit of dyeing to do today, for orders other than the kits. Just a couple of skeins so it shouldn’t take too long.

Knitting wise I’ve been working on the Mystery object over the weekend, finished that up before I could post that the kits were available. I have a sock for DH started, barely. I’ve done the cuff at the top. I’ve also done one baby sock and need to really do the other. I plan to take them to my Brother’s for the new baby later this week. I’m going to add the pattern to the options on the site once I get it written up. My Brother and SIL are going to let me “borrow” Megan’s toes to model the socks for the pattern photo. Actually, you are likely to see a lot more of my new little niece as a start working on patterns for baby things. Handy to have such a willing model around, though they grow fast so I’d better start knitting faster!

I’m also itching to get some larger, non-work project on the needles for those rare quiet moments when I can just knit to knit. I may go back to working on DH’s sweater. I’d love to have that finished before the weather gets cold enough for him to wear it. I just hope I had spun enough of the yarn. I was spinning it a while ago when I was still a relatively new spinner and its a lot, lot thicker than I tend to spin now. I’m not entirely sure I could spin more if it even if I try! Perhaps this afternoon I’ll take a stab at that.

I’ll be making a run to the post office later this morning. I’ve got 2 orders being mailed out today. Actually, I had hoped DH would take them when he went out for the paper this morning. The store he goes to is just down the street from the nearest Post Office. However, he had to go meet someone about some part he needs for the barn so he didn’t even get a paper today. Oh well. We are going to make that SOP for him to take with him any waiting packages in the am since he goes anyway and it will save me a trip. Its only a small thing, but when you get busy those small little things can add up over the course of a day.

Well, lots to do today so I’d better run.
