Jaynes and stuff
I’m considering discontinuing the kits for a week or so. I want to be sure as many of my existing hat orders as possible are knit up in time for Christmas. It looks like there’ll be no problem getting everybody who should get one by Christmas theirs, but I’d like to get more people done. I find I can either spend my time in the mornings winding yarn or I can spend it knitting.
And speaking of knitting Jayne hats, here are two more in the Berroco Ultra Alpaca. The orange one isn’t as bright as this picture makes it look. In doing these, I have come to love Berroco Ultra Alpaca. There’s a broad color range at a reasonable price, it’s easy on the hands, and it works up smooth and neat. Definitely a winner. Down side: when I hold it doubled, there’s not quite enough for a 23 and 24 inch size from one skein. I’m waiting for delivery of more olive green and more dijon yellow. I paid out the wazoo for expedited delivery, so it should be here in the next day or so. It better. This is one of those “get there by Christmas” orders I was talking about.
For those who had expressed interest in the Superman/other big name trade paperback graphic novels, I wound up sending many of them as part of a care package to a platoon in Afghanistan via Books For Soldiers. Sorry, guys, they need them more than you or I do. I get the impression that most of the volunteers who send stuff aren’t into comics and sci-fi and so I see a lot of requests for comics go unfilled. I’ve had some good experiences with www.booksforsoldiers.com so it’s something I’m happy to do.
And speaking of happy, my friend Laura is in town! Yay! I’m going to see her today! Double yay! I got, like, five hours sleep last night but I’m still perky and excited about this. I may crash by noon, but for now… yay!
Oh! Let me clarify something. Apparently I worded something badly on my “giving thanks” post a while back. Several people have asked me if my friend is recently divorced and moving to start a new life. I think this is because of the “moving alone under difficult circumstances” wording. No. She’s married and happy, it’s just that her husband moved down first to start his new job. I may have mentioned this before, but they met through us, as she was maid of honor and he was best man at our wedding. Tvini wedding mojo cannot be overcome! These two are locked in! No escape! Mwahahahaaaaa!
Don’t look at me like that. I’m allowed to cackle maniacally on my own blog if I want.
Jayne hats up next for: Dubuque, Chicago, and Cincinnati. Go Midwest Browncoats!
ok this has nothing to do with anything you posted but
I keep meaning to send you an email and I keep forgetting…
Would you have any interest in receiving a box of misc. craft bits? I have a hodgepodge of pony beads, fabric and felt scraps, ribbon ends, lace and bead chain bits, origami paper, construction paper, glitter glue, scrapbooking “stuff”, embroidery and needlepoint stuff…really, it’s a lot of bits. I love crafting but I just don’t seem to have the time for it lately and I need to reduce what I’ve got, and with your crafty stuff, plus the kidlet, plus the Girl Scouts stuff, I thought you might have use for some (all??) of it. Let me know?

Sure, send it on! If I can’t use it and the Girl Scouts can’t use it, I’ll run it past a friend who’s a volunteer coordinator for a local children’s agency and see if they can use it.

Yay!
Awesome, thanks! I feel much better about getting rid of things if I know they are going to someone else who might have use for them.

>Sorry, guys, they need them more than you or I do.
Hey, that’s cool. As long as they get read and enjoyed… you know. 😀

Oh and also, I’m really liking the Jayne hats in alternative colors. I might have to get me one.

I apologize for randomly showing up in your journal, but I was having difficulty with my server whenever I clicked on your “drop me a line” links at wearwithstyle.com.
I’m interested in purchasing a Jayne hat knitting kit. I see above that you have put a bit of a pause on those, but that’s fine with me, as it’s not a gift (or a least a gift that needs to be on time).
When you have the time, could you please email me at curtwildmuse at yahoo dot com? I’d love to try my hand at knitting one of these smashing hats, and a fews hours of google work has shown me yours are the best. 🙂

Re: Jayne hat
Will do! Starting tomorrow, I’ll be out of town for a couple of days, so bear with me if my response time is a little slow.

Thank you. And by all means, take your time. It’s a busy month for us all. 🙂

Re: Jayne hat
Thanks! I’m getting the finished hats out the door at a pretty good clip – two went out today, along with two kits, so I’m still just barely ahead of the time estimates I gave everyone. 🙂

I was hoping to place an order for the sweetest hat ever, and was wondering where I should email my request, and if I need to specify a size or not.

Hi, and thanks! You can e-mail me at heather at jaynehat dot com . I’ll send you a form letter which yes, will ask for your head size. If you don’t have it, that’s cool.
