My Hubby bought me a Go Plus as an early birthday present.

Which means my Pokeballs will now run out three times as fast!

Yay!  lol

Normal Monday / Shop Update

​For those of you don’t know- I changed jobs a little over a week ago.

And updating my blog is – well not difficult, but it is presenting a challenge.
I basically need to prepare the post, then send it to the email on my phone.

Then I need to copy it from my email, and paste it into the WordPress app.
(From this inference- you can assume that I cannot get to WordPress at work, nor can I get to Photobucket- the site I use to house my images.)
I’m not complaining- it just means that I need to change when I write my blog posts.
I’ll work on that this week.
—————————

In the meantime- I have swatches!

Cinnamon and Spice

Zombie Rainbow

Harvest Time

Unicorn Intestines

Denim

Saturday Afternoon Aftermatch 

AND there are six new yarns in the store today!  Some are completely new (check out Vanilla Raspberry Chocolate Chip!) and some are old ones that never made it to the store (like Shamrock and Good Golly, Miss Molly).
Etsy shop

6 swatches down, 31 to go!

Catching up

Whew! It’s been a wild week and a half around here.

– They changed my schedule at work, so I’ve been a cranky, sleep-deprived mad woman. It also means that I need to figure out what my new posting schedule is.

– I was sick most of the weekend, due to the weather. Lovely cold snap that actually brought snow. And everyone panicked.

  • I’m trying to finish some of the UFOs from 2016. This includes the Blanket that was supposed to be completed by New Years. Yes I’ve started it! Yes I’m not far from the beginning… I think I may have developed a bit of blanket-phobia…
  • There should be a shop update next Monday. Yummy yarny goodness!

Store Launch!

We are live!

Atlantis Yarns on Etsy

 

It took longer than I thought.  And I still need to add Zombie Rainbow, Unicorn Intestines, Harvest Time, Camouflage, Seafoam, IDK, and Orange Powdered Drink.

But- I didn’t want to keep you in suspense ANY LONGER!

 

AND we have winners!

 

There were 14 people who joined the mailing list (THANK YOU!!!), and a LOT of bounces (so check the email address you gave).  So I plan to send out the first email for Atlantis Yarns tomorrow!

Meanwhile- two of you will receive an email from me TODAY, regarding that free skein of yarn.  Congratulations to persons 6 and 13 (yes- these are real people)!

 

(And once I send those winner emails- I will update the yarn page on Ravelry.)

 

 

I really like that one!

This is drying:

I call it Cinnamon and Spice.  It’s currently a bit darker than the photo, but will lighten as it dries.  It’s a nice, warm brown with little pops of red.  And I want a sweater out of it.

Which is odd, because I’m a blue/purple kind of girl.  Ah well- the heart wants what the heart wants.
