Hallelujah! The month’s almost over, and I’m finally starting to really regroup after our several weeks of nonstop running. I thoroughly enjoyed the Broadripple Art Fair and our recent trip to Evansville, but it’s good to be home. The chaos is slowly beginning to show the influence of order, and what was a minefield of…

Whew! I’m back! Howdy, folks. How’s everybody been? I’m doing all right despite a little freak back pain, but otherwise, I think everything’s getting back to normal… well… Ok. Not really. Let’s just say that normal has been redefined. First, let me tell you that our volume of sales at ThreadBear is through the roof.…

You know, it may actually have been a sound theory, but it’s been H-E-double-hockey-sticks putting it into practice. In my last post, I vowed to post three times a week come Hell or high water, and that was a week ago yesterday. Can you spell wishful thinking? I thought you could. This time of year…

You know, I’d love to apologize, but frankly I’ve had entirely too much fun to even attempt to be sorry for it. Yes, I’ve been gone for a little while… ok, a long while. I haven’t been sick, nor—to my knowledge—have I been dead. I’ve been busy. And I mean busy. Actually, I started a…

Hi. My name is Matt, and I’m a fiberholic. Anyone out there who’s addicted to anything and finds that offensive, I’m terribly sorry. No offense was intended. But you do have some idea of what to look for, so you tell me… am I addicted? I always said, "I don’t have time for spinning," and…

<whew> Does anyone know what you get when you cross a yarn shop owner with a web developer? One seriously behind but terribly happy queer boy in Indiana, that’s what. Last week, I promised to explain my technique for repairing C’s sweater. I’m almost ashamed to admit how easy it was. First of all, let’s…

Yeah, I thought I was going to manage to avoid discussion of that idiotic article altogether. Then I saw my blog mentioned in someone else’s* post in reference to how exclusive the ahem… "journalist" was of the many male and other not-quite-stereotypical knitters. <sigh> It’s not going to happen. I won’t go into how dumb…

I’m thinking the ad should run: Lovely sweater in need of good home. Slightly used by chagrined beagle. Smells pleasantly of beautiful woman who won’t listen. <evil grin> All right, Teresa. Pick C up off the floor, and tell her I’ve pulled the ad. For those of you who don’t recall, this is the sweater…

Busy, busy. As I mentioned, several upgrades have now been made to Crowing Ram, and I’ll be working on getting them applied to Black Dog, too. We had several orders that needed to go out today, and one customer needed a color consultation. So out I went to the deck and morning sun to ask…

I’ll keep it short for now, but I wanted to point out that I just added a new commenting system. Awesome!!! By the way, are my geek-roots showing? 😉
