if I had a million hours
June, like the other 3 Year of Lace production months, is destined to be chaos. No matter how far ahead things are planned, it’s an enormous amount of effort to get it all together; pattern photography and layout, coordinating with mom, printing up to date shipping labels for the subscribers, ordering stamps, making sure we’ve got enough printing and mailing supplies on hand, and then actually sending them out. We try to get them all out around the same day at the end of the month, no matter which country or city the kits go to. This is awesome, but means I can’t do my usual incremental work. It’s simply all or nothing.
While I work on this, I’m also in the middle of about four new designs.
* The vest for Lorna’s Laces, in the new Honor yarn. It’s being named “Cloud Chaser Vest” and it will make it’s debut at TNNA next week. I’m nearly done with the actual knitting, and will probably cast off tonight. Then, photography, pattern layout, publication, all while the vest itself goes to be a lovely booth model in Columbus. Are you heading to TNNA? Be sure to check it out!
* A crocheted baby sweater, unfortunately on hold while other things take precedence.
* A knit baby blanket, again, nearly finished
* A project for Knitty, still in swatching phase…
So I’m running out of hours in the day. I took yesterday off and sat in the backyard and knit for about 12 straight hours. Not done yet, but closer than I would have been, otherwise.
And on top of the knitting, I really want to be doing more geeky knit stuff. I want to get back to my initial iPhone app so I can learn enough to build out the app I’ve already designed in my head. I want to work on my website. I want to design more ads for Facebook and Ravelry. And I want to get a good night’s sleep.
I wonder at people who have free time on their hands, and don’t know what to do with it. I feel like I’m permanently short of the hours I need to do what I really want to do.
I haven’t been bored in years.
