I am working away on two orders. The fairy gift set unfortunately is not ready to ship out for Saturday delivery--I try to accommodate all requests but sometimes my real job gets in the way. This order also had the deadline upped 2 months, it will go out this weekend however. Luckily the client understands. My cocoon also got pushed up--originally deadline was March 29 (for an early-mid April due date), but last Friday she went on bed rest and said they were predicting an early delivery so I guaranteed it would get shipped by this weekend. Yesterday I found out she had her baby Tuesday, so I am knitting away like mad today to get her cocoon out this evening or tomorrow morning.
I've also been trying to organize my files and paperwork--making it easier to run my shop from anywhere. In doing so I ran across a few tutorials I made up for some knit & crochet classes I ran at my work as part of our Wellness Committee's health week (our coordinator thought they would be a great option for stress relief). I borrowed the steps and images from a few sites, but I made sure to include their information on the handouts. Please check them out! They have many more helpful videos and illustrated steps that you will find beneficial. I still visit these sites when I have questions or am trying to explain something.
