Happy Spring!
It's May already!
This year is flying by! I cannot believe my children only have
5 more weeks of school for the year. It is just incredible.
I hope everyone
survived this long cold winter. Here in Western Washington we
have had SNOW as late as April 18th, and 10 inches of the stuff
at that! Incredibly, we are now starting to see some spring weather,
and thank goodness for that as my husband and I have a ton of
yard work planned.
If you havent
been by the website
lately, make sure you stop by. I have lots of changes happening.
- New patterns are now available!
- I have changed the way we
are selling our patterns! I am excited to announce that I am marketing
to local yarn shops and online companies. If you would like to
purchase downloadable copies of our patterns, they are now available
at my PayLoadz
store. I'm thrilled with how easy it is to download our patterns
securely.
- I would like to welcome GREAT
YARNS in Everett, WA as our first LYS to have our patterns
in stock!
- If you have a Local Yarn Shop that
you would like to see carry our print patterns, please refer them
to the WHOLESALE
section of our website. All the information and forms are
there to sign up to sell our patterns. There is even an email
list strictly for our Retail shops.
- I also have a new section called "The
Clearance Rack" From time to time, I will offer yarn
or other items here to my clients at bargan basment prices. You
can purchase directly using Paypal with low shipping costs. Right
now I have the following up on the rack:

come out and teach in your local area? If so, check out the new
"Wanted" wiget on the front
page. Click on the "Demand It" button,
and let me know what city you would be interested in seeing me

that have high demands for my classes.
- Speaking of classes, keep your eyes
peeled for updates to the workshop section of my classes. I will
have lots of information not only on upcoming scheduled classes,
but new information for guilds, clubs and shops. This will include
actual printable class information sheets, materials lists and
more.
