Title? What Title?
My Monteagle bag is almost done. I just have the handles to go … and I’m wondering if I’ll have JUST enough yarn left for the handle, or if I’m JUST going to miss it. Either way, it’s going to be close. But, it obviously uses a lot less yarn than the Everlasting Bagstopper string bag, of which I’ve made two. Same yarn, but those used 1.75 skeins, and this one is going to come in at just about exactly one skein, so that’s pretty nice.
I have a nice pile of books to review, too. One has been in my library for a while. I bought one of them from Knitpicks 40% off sale last week. And, the other two? Review copies from the publishers that arrived today. How cool is that?
Hey, remember a week or so ago, I posted to ask for help for the MV Fiber Farm? Well, please, if you haven’t voted, take a minute and go vote? And if you can spare the time, leave a comment! There’s some funny stuff going on with the votes of one of the competitors (whose votes seem to jump in count by the thousands overnight), so Susan needs as much help as she can get, and the votes AND the participation via comments all helps, so … honestly, it takes all of 3 seconds to vote. So, please do!
Let’s see, what else?
Not much, really. I’ll be on vacation next week, but we’re not going anywhere. Mom and I had hoped to go to Martha’s Vineyard, since we didn’t go in May, but … it’s just impossible. There just isn’t any money for it, so, we’ll be hanging around the house. (I’m sure we can find something to do.)
I’m also spending a lot of time trying to launch a freelance writing business.
In fact, I’m officially “open” for business, even though I haven’t actively started searching for clients yet. I’ll tell you folks first, though–I hope to focus on website writing. Websites. Blogs. Internet stuff. SEO/keyword articles. Promotional materials. And the first businesses I plan to approach are, well, knitting business. Yarn shops with websites. Yarn companies. Even farmers–anyone who needs better web copy.
So, well, if any of YOU have any freelancing writing needs, speak up! Spread the word!

House Calls
I was hoping you’d decide to try writing for a yarn shop! Is there one near you that needs your help? A small warning: many shop owners I’ve met don’t seem to realize the need for a blogger or content writer.
What about writing stuff for one of the many online knit magazines? And how about a knitting book podcast? If I lived closer to you, I’d offer to be your co-host! ^_^
