Whee! Good news! The new shop is thisclose to being up and running! I’ve spent the past two and a half days coding and tweaking the design to match the blog’s, and it’s ALMOST there! I’m really happy with the way it’s turning out, and only have some minor cosmetic things to tweak and a few last browser compatibility bugs to work out and then it goes live! WHEEEEE!!

Only down side is that I lose all of the addresses, log-ins and order histories from the old shop. But in return you guys get stability, real yarn sales (the % off kind!) and I’ll be able to give you guys fun things like discount codes and coupons in the future! It’s a good thing overall, and I’ll probably try and get the old information moved over to the new shop, but no guarantees. Databases still short circuit my brain. <3

But enough yammering from me… here are the pictures.

Shot of the pound and a quarter of bamboo yarn I’m (still) spinning, and making pretty good progress on:

Close up of the bamboo, with a penny for reference:

The bamboo is giving me a run for my money, but I’ve learned a LOT about spinning from it, particularly the way I’m most comfortable spinning. So yay!

Ok, back to work with me! Just wanted to update quickly, and let you all know I’ve not disappeared… again.
