Jennifer (mymn slot from HC) are on my needles right now, I have the waistband done and am heading to bed. I should be able to make a large dent in this tomorrow.

Jonita’s capris are done, shipping out Monday!

Greenmomma- shorts are done and are drying now. Will probably be ready to ship Wednesday

Mona- casting on Kenna top 3-7

Our grand opening of our instock store is tomorrow! I can’t believe its here already. We are getting lots of spots and interest so I would plan on being in the store right at 3pm(est)/12pm(pst) if you had your eye on something.

Melissa: currently working on Jena’s skirty, hoping to finish it up asap so I can get started on Jessica’s skirty which will lead me to Erin’s skirty and then wrapping up this months customs with Ashleys newborn longies. I will not be taking any more customs this month and am booked until may. I have to give myself some time to get our summer items done as well as prep for our next stocking on March 31st featuring the talented colorways from one of my favorite dyers, Stacey at Lollytree Yarn.

Just a quick update, Nicole was off line for about a day and is still getting caught up. I had a horrible flu bug (not the stomach variety) and it really knocked me out. I am doing much better, everything for the store is done, still working on getting all the pics up. I am currently working on Mommyof8’s shorties and should hopefully get them done by tomorrow. I have lots of yarn winding to do in order to get the rest of my projects done.

Oh, and please fan us on facebook! We are up to 40 fans now!!! It really helps to spread the word about our store even if it isn’t something that you are in the market for.

Sorry guys I’m still getting used to posting updates to the blog. Sarah, I’m finished with the top of your Kenna sweater. Now it’s just on to the body portion. Which is looooong, so it may take me a couple of days. Also all done knitting up the big stuff for the store, and now I’m just stalking my mail lady for the buttons to complete a few of the projects. You guys are going to love it, I think. It’s all turning out so lovely. Can’t wait for the GRand Opening on March 3′rd!!!

We are now 12 days away from opening our new store!!!

We have some sneak peaks up now so go a check it out.

Melissa: I just shipped off Megan’s shorts and am up to my eyeballs in knits for the store, as soon as I get these last couple things done, I will be right back to my customs list, starting with my YFW swap partners.

Jessica’s shorties are all done, and are still blocking. I am planning on taking some pictures later today, so check back.
Megan’s shorties are started, just barely. My husband is still not home from work, pretty much been gone since Thursday morning, so things are a little crazy here, but I am determined to get my rear in gear this weekend and knock out a couple projects.
Nothing is shipping out today, and unfortunately Monday is a postal holiday so Tuesday I hope to be shipping both J’s and M’s shorts. ((crossfingers))

ANNOUNCEMENT! www.hyenacart.com/dakineknits will be having its grand opening celebration with guest collaborators, auctions, FFS, low entry drawings and more on 3/3/2010 and 3pm. Look forward to seeing you there!

My brand new puppy was attacked today by another dog and had surgery. she is doing fine now but has to wear a cone for the next three weeks, which is really hard since she wasn’t even used to us, or her collar yet. I am going to stay up for a while and see if i can get Jessica’s shorties worked on for a bit.

I have had next to no time to knit the last couple days, which is totally odd. Just very busy, out of town, crazy kids… lol. I do have the waistband done and will start adding in the short rows tomorrow. If i can find time to knit for just an hour or 2 without interruptions I probably will be almost done.
