Jill and I often refer to the "Y2Knit Spiderweb" to describe the complexities of our business. Last night I made a salad for the potluck at the shop and was struck by how the colors were close to the Y2Knit colors.
The potluck was a pleasant interlude in a busy week. Yummy dishes (y'all can cook!) and sugar in it's best possible forms. We had fun sharing our knitting projects and deciding what to do with that lovely silk ribbon yarn that I had arranged artfully in a vase.
Some days Y2Knit does feel like tossed salad. All the parts are there, mixed up, and we hardly know what to address at any given time. Phone rings, shop customer comes in, deadlines loom, patterns need to be written, event details ironed out, phone meetings, bills to pay, more phone meetings, dentist appointments, patterns to print and mail, household needs, and so on. We all know what it's like. Seems to be the way of life for most of us.
Please note that our spider web has NO SPIDER. It does represent all the things Y2Knit has going on: patterns, events, shop, teaching, writing, collaborating, etc. We're beginning to find ways to connect things more meaningfully. The interconnectedness is fascinating. Sorting it out is. . . well, a job that needs to be done!
