Hello All!  Oh no, my face is totally sick.  Now, before you go feeling too sorry for me, I’m not that sick.  In fact, I’m feeling much better than I have for the last few days.  However, my voice kind of still sounds like a box of gravel and I can’t guarantee a forty minute window won’t require me to blow my nose 37 times, so I’m going to make the executive decision to spare all of you the wincing.

I hope to feeling well enough to have a show out Thursday morning, but if you don’t see anything then, well, it’s because I’m off singing “Smelly Cat” somewhere.

There will be a small bag update on Friday at 9pm eastern standard time.

I hope to talk with you all soon!  If you’re needing a giggle in the mean time, you really should go read the Ravelry thread for last week’s episode.  There are no less than 15 awesomely silly stories for guaranteed guffaws.

Hello All!  I’ve been working away at getting things set up for the shop and the virtual doors will open at 10am eastern time.  You can find the shop by clicking on that little brown paper square over there—->

Things I probably should have told you in the last podcast:

• There’s a COUPON CODE for everyone!  Use the code WELCOME to receive 10% off your order.  Feel free to share the code and post away.
• If you purchase 3 or more of any yarn (same base, same colorway) you will receive an additional 10% off those items.  I am not able to offer a handy-dandy coupon code for that one (it blew Big Cartel’s mind), so I will refund the difference to your PayPal account.  If I forget, please, please, PLEASE remind me.
• There are lots of pre-orders available.  If you want to buy yarn, I want it available for you!  I have limited the quantities so that I can assure quality and a little bit of sanity for myself, but all the pre-orders for the month are listed so that you can purchase what you want without having to check back for weekly updates.  Lead times for March and April colorways will be longer than usual as I determine stock I should have on hand.  Thank you for your patience!  (Specific dates are listed in the product descriptions.)
• By purchasing anything from me you unknowingly pinkie swear you will contact me if you are unhappy with your experience.  Really people, I’m kind of a crazy over-worrier and I’ll only be able to sleep at night if I know you aren’t out there stewing about your fat squirrel stuff.

Hello all!  Thanks for waiting a little bit longer for the episode this week.  I’ll keep show notes to a minimum for no other reason than I have dinner on the stove!
