Life Changes...

Well, as eluded to in the last blog entry I will be undergoing some life changes in the next little while and do have to say that they will be for the better.

The first is at work.

I know, again? No. The only thing changing at work is which department I will be in charge of which will be in the long run better for the store and for myself.

The second?

I am moving. Not out of town or anything just to another apartment in town here. The move will start in the next week or so and will be ongoing for the next few weeks after that. For a little more money I will be getting a secure entrance, more space, better views, and less annoying neighbours.

So in a few weeks I you do not see me online for a little while you will know that it is because I am getting settled into the new apartment and getting services hooked up.

A returned thought...

I would like to start off with a hello and sorry I haven't blogged in a while but I have been a bit busy focusing on a few life changes that are coming to fruition and will let you all know about that in a few weeks.

A few years ago I had a thought.

Gasp I know, but I do think on occasion.

This thought then, had to deal with yarn and dyeing. Yes I was wanting to dye yarn. Well, lately this thought has returned and a bit stronger.

The other week while touring one of the local city gardens and gazing at the multitude of tulips in full flower this thought returned. I was thinking about dyeing yarn again. The more I looked around the more I thought on it.

What would it be like to have a skein of yarn dyed based on the inspiration from these wonderful tulips. Well, after thinking about it some more I have come to a decision. I will be doing some test dyeing over the fall and winter to see what the results come to be for what I have planned and potentially creating a spot limited spring yarn club.

What do you all think?

A secret revealed...

I have a secret. A secret addiction.

I (sniffle while holding back tears), am addicted [yet another sniffle] to constantly checking my friends updates on Ravelry.

I know what you are going to say but I am truly addicted to it. I find every time I am on the laptop checking email/plurk/facebook or whatever else I am doing I am opening up my Ravelry account and checking to see what all my friends on Ravelry have faved/queued/cast on/finished and stashed.

I especially, for some unknown reason (whether it is because the yarns are not available here just yet or some other reason), am drawn to checking out what my foreign friends are doing.

The yarns, patterns, ideas... oy.

So they say that the first step is admittance... I wonder what the next eleven steps are going to be.
