The Best Laid Plans
Going from ‘hmm, well that’s an idea’ to ‘hey, look, a book’ is a lengthy process (a fair number of books actually get stuck somewhere in the middle and never make it out of brains and onto paper). There are a lot of interdependent steps and a lot of bits that are infuriatingly out of your own control. That’s why I try really hard to build a fair amount of wiggle room into any date I give out publicly. You’ll note I normally say ‘next year’ or ‘spring’ or just ‘later.’ It’s easier that way. It doesn’t disappoint anyone and I don’t have to come do that embarrassing shuffle where I try and explain what happened.
So you remember how I said I’d be shipping the physical copies of Rabble Rousers on August 14? Well the truth has changed. They came early. I’m shipping them today. I hope no one minds too much (and if you do, it’s totally fine to just leave it sitting, lonely and unopened in your mailbox, until you feel a sufficient time has passed)!
The wee kitten overlords, all 3 of them, have supervised the packing to make sure it’s up to their exacting standards. They’re helpful that way.
“wee kitten overlords” Love it. I have two of those and they supervise my knitting quite closely.:)
Yay! I’ll be stalking the mailman. 😉
wow! The kitties supervise well…got you running ahead of schedule. You could promote them, but I’m not sure what is above overlord : )
I wish I had wee kitten overlords. Instead I have two cats who only show interest in being overlords when their food dish is low or when there is not enough string dangling in front of them to play with.
Whoo-hoo! And when I went to the Post Office today to pick up the mail, I found a package from you with the Briar Rose yarn. Oh my goodness, is it lovely. I’ll take pictures as soon as we have a non-rainy/overcast day. Thank you!
Such cute kitty helpers! I got the email that a package was being sent to me from you – can’t wait to get it. Early packages are always welcome! 🙂
I received a nice surprise in my mailbox today, a skein of Briar Rose yarn. I was expecting it for a couple more weeks. It is just beautiful, the greens and blues together. I just love it. Thank you so much.

Oh yay! I found a way to get it mailed w/o having to battle with the post office, so I went ahead and sent them now. I didn’t think you guys would mind! Isn’t it yummy?
