Just a quick update, thanks to the winter storm crossing the country.<\/p>\n
First, yesterday afternoon the mail carrier finally took away all the packages ready to ship (save one that was requested to ship next week).<\/p>\n
Then, the incoming yarns for February’s dyeing.\u00a0 I put in the order last Saturday.\u00a0 Normally, I would order on a Wednesday, and I’d get it that following Friday or Saturday.\u00a0 This time, it was Wednesday before I even got an order confirmation with a tracking number, with delivery expected yesterday.\u00a0 \u00a0Then yesterday it was adjusted to show delivery today.\u00a0 As of this morning, my yarn was somewhere in Kentucky, with expected delivery on Monday.\u00a0 I know this winter storm is impacting things, so I can’t get too upset.\u00a0 It’s just frustrating.\u00a0 When it gets here, I’ll get back into the regular cycle of putting out a new collection of Blog Reader Specials each week.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, I’m occupying myself with a bit of knitting and puttering around the house.\u00a0 I’m still working on the socks, just about to reach the heels.\u00a0 And the holiday stocking project is in line for me to re-work the heel.\u00a0 And I need a cozy for my French press; I get frustrated that by the third cup, the pot has gone rather tepid.\u00a0 Yuck.<\/p>\n
So, I’m sitting in limbo, waiting for current yarns to sell, waiting for new yarns to arrived, and fiddling with projects that need doing.<\/p>\n
I hope the rest of the country is reaching a point to start thawing soon, although I know many of you are snowed in or iced in.\u00a0 Hopefully, it is only a few more days.<\/p>\n
