Friends,

This is going to be short as I need to start and finish the recovery effort after the non-stop preparation for the Rhinebeck Sheep and Wool Festival. So, just a couple things…

The shop will reopen on Tuesday.

Wednesday I will be in the studio carding and dyeing.

And there is more. But those are topics for another day. Most importantly I needed to write this post to express my gratitude and appreciation for each and every person who supported me this weekend. You folks are just awesome.

Thank You – I love you guys.

Things have shifted into a ‘nother gear at the ITW studio in preparation for the NYS Sheep & Wool festival in Rhinebeck NY! So, until I have some pretty pictures or momentous announcements, I leave you with the details on where to find ITW at the festival:

Show/Festival: NYS Sheep & Wool Festival

Dates: 10/17 & 10/18

Directions: HERE

Booth Location: 39 A, B with the Ulster County Handspinners

Oh, hint of what I have been up to this past week…

Strange how sometimes the more that is on the To-Do list the quicker things get done. Yet sometimes the more items there are on the To-Do list, the slower things get done; it is like you get stuck and don’t really know where to start. Yea, if that made any sense to anyone else but me – you know what I am talking about. So in an effort to cut to the chase and get the ball rolling here we go…

1) I just started a Facebook Fan Page HERE. Feel free to take this moment to click the link and become an ITW fan, then come back and finish reading what is in store. I am new to the whole Facebook thing so I may be a little slow it getting that going, but I will!

2) Thanks to the encouragement of some fabulous people I am going start a Ravelry ITW forum group – that will be done sometime this week! I will be sure to let everyone know when it is open and ready for members!

3) Creat a plan for the ITW fiber club and formally announce it. Just an FYI – I am looking at a late fall announcement on this.

4) Finalize details on blog giveaway to be announced in a couple weeks. Stay tuned, you will not want to miss this one…

5) Create a newsletter format for upcoming shop updates. If your interested in being on the mailing list please take a moment to subscribe to the ITW newsletter. I promise not to spam you, or share your information.

6) Spend every waking moment in the studio preparing for Etsy updates and the upcoming fiber festivals!!

So there you have it, some, but not all of the To-Do list. This morning I decided rather then keep it locked away in an endless brain loop I would share it with each and everyone of you. Now, it is no longer a list of ideas – it is a list of commitments!!

So after watching the latest release of Lets Knit2gether a Ravelry member requested a little enticement from vendors to pass the long weeks leading up to the NYS Sheep & Wool festival. The least I could do was share the following:

MIA again? Really?

So where have I been again?

Locked in the studio of course! Since working out a one pound dyeing method – SO many things have been in the works!

But not enough that I can share all the details of the projects in the works. I can however let you know where you will find ITW in the wild this upcoming fall fiber festival season…
