Side Biz Status Update!

One of my yearly/life goals is stash busting and I’ve made some decent progress in that regard. These two items have been added to my shop! I have a lot more to go but I’m making some decent headway. My last round of decluttering unearthed even more damn yarn but I am not deterred. I will make things out of all the yarn I’ve bought and do my best to sell them. I know they’re some very simple designs but, I’m going for speed. And I have some interesting yarn types that I’m not sure what to do with. What comes out of it will be interesting.

As for my writing, here are the current word counts for my WIPs:

  • First Brood 4 Emma: 16,823 words
  • Dewey: 9,210 words

I’m making okay progress on these but I’m gonna spend some time outlining the rest of the plot for these two. I always start out thinking I totally can wing it for the rest of the manuscript but nah. If I want both of these done before the end of the year, I’m gonna have to be more organized. I’d like to continue my Fruit of the Dead series and that will ABSOLUTELY need a proper outline to make sure the episodes make sense. My goal is to have a wide variety of genres for people to read. And to get out of debt by finally making these things profitable.

This new neck warmer is up for sale in my shop! It’s thinner than the others in case you don’t want as much coverage. It’s a wool blend and should be hand washed and laid flat to dry.

New Item!

This neck warmer is 12.5 inches tall and 23 inches around. It’s up in my shop now.

And, since I have no eloquent words as for the state of things these days, 50% of all my sales will go to help Black Lives Matter organizations. More stock is on the way.

New Shop Stock!

I’ve made these neck warmers for friends as gifts and since they loved them so much, I’m adding them to my shop! They’re about 12.5 inches long with a 23 inch circumference and made with acrylic yarn. I only have black right now but more colors are coming!

Needlework Progress

I had to spend money on the Black Panther themed yarn from Jimmy Beans wool. I got a bunch of skeins so I decided to make a shawl for a friend of mine and here’s how far I’ve gotten.

My mental process for this was a roller coaster. Going from “Oh yeah, I can totally build this one stitch at a time” to “Fuck my life, I have to build this one stitch at a time.” But hey, I am loving these colors! And it’s fun and easy to knit this despite some of the stitches I’ve slipped that I feel just add character.

Sold Out! Again…

My newest creation is gone but I am hard at work on more items! Not sure if anything will be ready in time for the holidays but I shall try!

All this is doing wonders for my stash-busting, let me tell you… I’ve always had too much yarn so don’t worry; plenty more items will be coming. And not just scarves, either.
