DaKine KnitsJust a couple of knitting mama's

Melissa:

I am a little behind from where I would like to be. I am 1/2 done with Ashley’s second pair of newborn longies. I still am slowly working on Erin’s skirty whenever I have a spare minute. As soon as I get this finished I will email/PM the April customs.

As a side note: my husband has been working INSANE hours and I have literally seen him about 10 hours total in the last 10 days. We also have has a friend die and 2 get married and 2 birthday parties so my weekends have been just as crazy. I am truly working as much and as fast as I can, but my kids and personal life will always come first.

Oh, and the STORE STOCKED! Lots of things still up, including some cute crayon rolls for just $10 plus shipping. Come check it out.

I am officially closed to customs for a couple months in order to catch up with what current projects I have going on as well as my home items. I would love to be doing more instock work so I will probably open up as slots on the cart only through the summer.

Melissa:
Jennifer’s shorts shipped the other day
I got the first of Ashley’s 3 pairs done today.
Currently working on Erin’s skirt and Danielle’s longies.

Crazy weekends ahead but I hired a mommy’s helper for a couple hours during the week so I can try and catch up. My husband is working insane hours and so I don’t have my knitting time in the evenings like I was accustomed too. This weekend we have a wedding, and Kat’s third birthday bash. Next weekend my husband will be gone all week and weekend working on moving his company (he works IT) not only that but we have a memorial service for a dear friend, another wedding both on Saturday and then another birthday party to go to on Sunday. CRAZY!!!

Site downtime last night was caused by a back-end database crash. I had backups of the databases, but not proper ones it seems. Most of you prolly hadn’t noticed, as it was over night, but those of you who have, that was the issue.

We are back up and running smoothly now though. Enjoy.

Melissa:

Erin, cast on her skirty and realized I need to get the rainbow skirt done for A La Mode for thursday’s stocking so pausing hers to work on that.

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.
