The last of the most recent yarn goes up tomorrow night at 5:30 p.m., most of it’s already listed! If there’s something you liked in the photo-montage from earlier this week, now might be a good time to pick it up. Think of it as color therapy for the winter doldrums. Now if only you could get your doctor to write you a script, you’d never have to feel guilty about your yarn purchases again!
In other good news, I got my stockpots in the mail, only two days after I ordered them. Now that’s some fan-damn-tastic free shipping! Boscovs gets points for that. Not as much fun? The fact that they didn’t list the pots as being 2nds. None of the flaws makes them unusable for my purposes, but still, you’d think in the interest of full disclosure. For $10, I’m not going to look a gift horse in the mouth, I’m just happy to have them. It makes me wonder about the other items on their closeout site though.
Also in Bittersweet news, I’ve set up a business page on Facebook. If you’re on FB, and you’d like to show your support for the shop, please consider becoming a fan of Bittersweet Woolery? I’ve linked my Artfire shop right into the page, and soon will be moving away from Etsy all together aside from a few odds and ends. Artfire just offers so much more in terms of flexibility and offsite extras (FB kiosk, sticky cart, discount codes, etc.). I love Etsy, and I’ve been with them in one form or another since they were less than a year old, but they simply haven’t responded to the changing needs of their vendors the way that Artfire has from the get go.
Coming in the future? A Bittersweet Woolery site of its own, complete with onsite vending and its own mini-blog. If I can figure out a way to keep it connected in some way to Rows Red, I will. No matter what happens, don’t think for a minute that Rows Red is going anywhere. I love this blog, and what I’ve built here. I can grow the Woolery and keep my blabbermouth ways, of that I am sure.

**Extra points to whomever can also tell me what the second part translates to, and yes, you can look it up in an appropriate fan resource!

Hee you are a Firefly fan.
Not sure of the translation and wouldn’t want to cheat by going to Babelfish…
Also, I’m madly in love with the Bramble yarns. Esp. that laceweight. Augh, I wish I had money this month. I need to pick up a fleece that the local mill processed for me (a huge, white, alpaca fleece, omg) and it ended up MUCH more expensive than I thought it would be.
