I've got soooo much work to do!!! I'll try to get these separated out tonight, but i"m not guaranteeing it b/c I have about 20 dyed yarn orders to package and ship. But I will say I should have the cascade separated and shipping totals some time by tomorrow evening? but please don't hold me to that I"m swamped!

Oh great timing as Dh gets paid on Thursday---so I will be able to pay the shipping. It would be terrible to have yarn paid for that I couldn't afford to get mailed to me, wouldn't it?

I ordered a ton of quatro and the tweeds in 220, some natural, and then the Eco Wool. the order was a little over 900.00 :faint The damn box is so heavy I can't lift it, I had to DRAG it into the house, and it's sitting JUST inside the front door, pushed off to the side out of the way :LOL

Here is my work from the past 3-4 days...there are some still dyeing, I think I have 12 skeins to rinse in the morning and another 25-30 to dye in the next 2-3 days. This also does not include the 10 or so orders I've already shipped out.

Um, Jess? Can I come play at your house :faint ?? I was just thinking today--I had intended to start selling my dyed organic yarn--but every time I dye some, it's so pretty I want to knit it up :brow ! How do you restrain yourself?

FabriConnection

Ok, here's the cascade....I just looked over the invoice...the chocolate and vanilla are back ordered, so they aren't here :( I"ll call tomorrow and get an ETA.

have any of you seen the movie Calender Girls yet?
DH and I rented it a few weeks ago and the part where they're taking the picture of the woman knitting in the buff, DH snaps his head at me and gave me that "hey baby" smile.

Ok this is going to sound so bad but this is what I was thinking when I was reading this tread. Everytime you see the word "wool" replace it with.... hmm can I say this here? Vibr**** (I hope you can guess the word ;)) Or put any sexual word in there and it works. I was laughing at myself at how "hot" everyone was getting over this yarn. :devil

I"m packaging it all right now....again, the chocolate is back-ordered. I called today, but my rep. wasn't in, I"ll call back in the morning :D

FabriConnection

I went on a packing/shipping frenzy this morning...that entire pic of dyed yarn....wound and shipped!!! Sooo, I have most of the orders packed, still haven't heard back from Cascade about the back ordered Chocolate and vanilla...had to take my ds to the state fair after school..so i"m exhausted, we just got home...I'll weigh and post shipping totals on the orders that aren't missing yarns in the morning after my ds's soccer game :D :faint
