I am always busy! There is always something I can be doing if not in our main business, then in my own little crochet business.
The crochet hook has been working overtime over the past few months and I have lots of new things on the horizon.
At present I have 2 patterns in testing. One of these is due to be launched in 4 days time. I also have 1 new pattern design almost completed. So, lots to do!
However some days one just does not feel like playing crochet designer! Today feels more like a day to pretend I am queen of all that surrounds me. Perhaps the staff could do the work instead (if only there were any staff).
Crochet related things I have achieved today (it is only mid morning):
Answered crochet related questions✔
Wrote a blog post✔
Perused yarn sites✔
Spent time on social media re crochet✔
Conversed with other designers✔
Things I have NOT achieved YET today:
I have not checked in with my pattern testers
I have not done any on my new design
I have not finished my webpage for the new pattern launch
I have not checked the final copy of the pattern due to be launched
Excuses:
Apart from the items on the list that I have achieved, I have done a workout and drunk 2 very nice cups of tea . I run on TEA!
The new design that I have almost completed is a bit of a mind bender. I ❤ it, and can’t wait to finish it , but with 5 rounds to go, one round has approximately 400 chain loops to complete and I am getting all chained out. It is slow to write up! I am however looking forward to torturing my long suffering pattern testers with this one. MAhahahaha!
The design I am almost ready to launch has taken approx 4 months from idea conception, to completed item and now the test process. Therefore I believe it should just launch itself as I have already put in hundreds of hours on it. The webpage is also time consuming and rather boring to do. Just think of all that time that I could spend crocheting instead . Sounds fair, doesn’t it?
As for the 3rd point, all I can say is DITTO!
Yes, it will all get done! The new pattern WILL get launched. The new design Will get completed but at present I have a nice cup of tea calling my name and I may just ignore the blanket with all those chain loops, that seems to be glaring at me in defiance, daring me to finish it. They won’t beat me!
Keep your eyes 👀 wide open in the next few days (assuming I get around to finishing the webpage etc) as the new pattern (in my humble, YES humble opinion) is rather wonderful!
And to those who are wise enough to have subscribed to my webpage, there will be a discount (oh the pain of it all) on launch day. That is of course assuming I can force myself to do a (splutter, cough) DISCOUNT code! Discounts are painful!
I am hoping all will really enjoy the new design! Let me know your thoughts once it is live!
