Quandary

It’s my day off, but is it really?

Always, always, thinking about iYarn and plotting my next move. Did I say move ?

My husband and I can be watching a movie…he is heavily focused on the plot. I say, “I think I will call the land lady and see if it would be okay if I put a table on the other side of building to accommodate my knitting class”.

He looks at me, with his eyes he is telling me, is that all you think about ? “So”, I say, could you bring our white folding table to shop for me before Saturday”? He mumbled something …”is that a yes or a no”?

I go back to my knitting, he continues to watch the movie. Several minutes go by, I’m not sure how many, I say, “ We don’t have enough chairs….where am I going to get more chairs”? No answer from husband who wishes I would shut up and let him watch the movie. So….. I did shut up, but my brain didn‘t.

I guess that’s why I blog. My blog listens to me, or is that just me listening to me? I am thinking I will change my alter ego name to Sybil. I have a host of people in my head telling me what to do, and I listen to them!

I scheduled a sock class some months back, which is all fine and good. Then a wool stitch class was scheduled. This class happens to have 12 people in it, which is wonderful. BUT, the second wool class is on the same day as the first day of my 3 day sock class, which I have 8 people enrolled. Now, with the regular knitters that come in on Saturday, THAT’S A HOUSE FULL! So where am I going to have the sock class? Okay, bring in another table, but where will I put said table and where will I get more chairs?

So, the problem is , we are out of room. Iyarn and Mulberry Creek have outgrown one another. Agree, this is the first time we have had this problem, but , we are still out of space! Who knew this would happen? But I think it is wonderful that so many people have walked through our doors and became friends and regular customers. It is nice to know that we are needed (?) in the community. I not only want our customers to be able to browse some wonderful yarns and notions, but to be comfortable while doing it in more space , room to move around and a place to sit and unwind from their work week.

I knew this day would come, and that is also another reason I am scrambling for my own identity as a yarn shop.

We have talked to the landlady and told her when she got the other rental space ready, we would be interested in renting it. We don’t know when this will be, but I hope it is soon!

I still have to solve the problem of Saturdays class and it is up to me to come up with a solution. Perhaps I need to talk this one out with a real person. It is taking me awhile, but I am learning to talk things out with real people instead of keeping it all to myself. I am hoping eventually, it will lead to my healing.

OMN:  Besides the projects I have already started and working on last week, I started another one!  It's a tunic , knit in mitered squares with Weekend yarn by Berroco! 
I knit a pair of toe up socks for my youngest grandson with some stash yarn, and started another set for oldest grandson with Supersocke 100 by OnLive!  I love that yarn!

Knit On!
