DH is wearing his new Father’s Day shirt.
M and K have wandered into one of their rooms and are peacefully playing with toys. A few minutes ago, they were playing Boom, and getting louder and louder. That’s where K yells “Boom!” and M falls down.
B has not yet emerged from his bunk, although he did give sleepy permission for us to cut his cake without him. He stayed up late to take it out of the oven.
DH walked down to work to copy or update something. I know he’d like to clear his desk today. I need to prep Sunday School, put laundry away, and what? I balanced the checkbook last night. I was thankful again that my debit card happened to get maxed out the day someone in Virginia stole my number, because if that hadn’t happened, I wouldn’t have known it until today, 5 weeks later, and it sure was easier to take care of back then.
Perhaps I’ll be able to write patterns? I think my brain is beginning to come back to me. I could make that paper model of what I want the knitting business site to look like. I wonder if working on the business stuff before I have patterns to sell is silly, or actually sharpening the saw. My gut says doing whatever you are able to do is progress, even if the order is silly. Maybe for once I’ll listen to my gut.
I’m also curious about content I should put on the new site. Should there be a blog portion? Who would my customers be, and what would they be interested in reading? Is it true that most craft blogs are written for other craft bloggers and not for customers?
I’m not sure who would want to buy overly complex knitting patterns, or what they would want to read about. But I really do want to write the stitch patterns that called to me from the dictionaries, “What else can you do with this technique?” Of course, I’d also like some extra money. OK. It’s a big world out there. There are knitters who want complexity, who love novel techniques. Some of them will buy my patterns. I think I’m too new at pattern writing to have a niche yet. I’ll have to bumble along until I see a pattern, then I’ll be able to characterise the product.
