no, not the gymnastics, which i haven't watched from last night yet (don't say anything!) but this golden moment is the preview of the fall issue of popknits going live!

check it out!

i wish i had ravelympics news for you all but i don't. my progress has faltered greatly because of popknits AND we're finally moving! yes, we signed a lease yesterday on a new home for casa gleek. it's almost $800/month cheaper and i'm going to have my own craft room/office! popknits world headquarters! we're really excited, of course, but here's the catch. we're due to move in two weeks. i haven't packed a thing yet! AND i'm due to launch popknits the same week. can we say ulcer? my hands are shaking just thinking about it.

so, knitting for the olympics is not happening. i AM knitting here and there and mostly on my frock camisole which leaves little for me to think about. wish me luck!

eating with her fork!

here's an image of the peanut because i've got nothing else to show you right now. enjoy!

Popknits looks fantastic!!
Congrats on scoring a new, improved (and cheaper) place :)
In my opinion, packing goes way faster than you think. Well, it depends on how organized you want your boxes to be...

Yay for new digs! Take a few deep breaths -- nobody ever packs much until the last minute anyways :) Good 365 fodder, I bet...

Congrats on the new apt and Popknits. It looks awesome! Looking forward to the official launch.

As for the moving - I'll be taking deep breaths for you, chica. Eep! However, in two weeks, it'll be all over. ;)

Wow! I love the beret and the stole. Congratulations on getting this thing going. Also, if you need some boxes for moving (including at least one wardrobe box for hanging clothes), let me know! We still have a bunch in our apartment from our move last month.

So much to do, no wonder you're stressed. I'll be rooting for you, and you know it's all going to be worth it. I'm so happy for you for Popknits and for the family Gleek on finding more affordable and bigger digs.

I love all of the popknits patterns! I'll try to hide my jealousy in regards to your craft room :D I'm so happy you guys found something you love and are saving money too. Can't wait to see the craft room photos!

I am holding my breath for you... on the move and popknits. The preview looks great and you should feel VERY PROUD! Leave the shaking to the leaves, you've got nothing to worry about :)

Congratulations on Popknits and the house! I am a sick sick sicko who actually loves to move, so it sounds more thrilling than ulcer-inducing to me.

Thanks for appeasing us with a photo of The Peanut. Works every time. :)
