1. I have been away from the blog for a few days
and
2. Joe is a much better writer than I!
When I was originally toying with the idea of starting a blog, I begged Joe to be the writer. It's not that I don't like the blog(in fact, I like having it more than I ever thought I would), it's just that I have never been too keen on getting words on paper. Hopefully Joe will start to frequent the blog more often- it is a treat for all!
Last week I was away for work in Chicago. Right before I left, I placed my first print order for the French Press Felted Slipper Pattern. My work meetings were finished up on Thursday so I took Friday off with the sole purpose of visiting yarn shops in the Chicago area. Joe met me and brought the new patterns along(which arrived when I was out of town).
As of yesterday, I am officially set up for wholesaling the French Press Felted Slipper Pattern. If you are a LYS and would like to have the pattern for your shop, you can contact me at wholesale [!at] frenchpressknits.com. Right now the slipper pattern is the only one available for wholesale, but I will be adding more in the near future.
Was it a successful trip? What do you think?
*Yes, these bags are all filled with yarn and other knitting sundries :)

Congrats - that is so exciting! The patterns look fantastic. Also, I think my eyes bugged comically out of my head when I saw all that yarn. Definitely a successful trip!

ReplyDeleteAhh!! J'adore Chicago! I'm almost done with my slippers and was wondering whether you will make a pattern for little BOYS slippers...my sons keep asking me what I'm knitting for THEM, and I keep smiling and saying: "Actually, it's for ME!"
