Hallo.

I just finished a truly massive shop update. However, unlike normal, I will not be posting all the photos here as well with details. I’m deep in writing and applying and suchlike things right now and really can’t spare the time.

The shop has a lot in it again though. And, as usual, all the breed and fiber info is in each item so you don’t have to go searching for “oh crap, what sort of fiber is targhee again?”

Have a whole bunch of pretty new jacob roving, so expect to see more of that.

Targhee, Jacob, Shetland, SW Merino, Dorset, Wensleydale

And a new grey sampler with Jacob, Shetland, Black Welsh Mountain, and Norwegian. I’m one breed short there of an “ancient breed” sampler. Should consider that.

Also a TON of new stitch marker sets. Like this one. Some extra large ones, a lot of normal ones, and some lace/sock ones.

I’ve also finished some yarn, have some new socks to show off, and probably other things I’m forgetting, but no time. Back to writing.

Online applications are nice and a pain in the butt at the same time.

In answer to the question about my defense… They’ve read my dissertation by that point, and they long ago (4 months before approximately at that point) had a meeting with me where they grilled me about my work, so they already know I know it. So if I don’t blow my dissertation, I’m fine. The only real remaining question is if I’m going to need edits to the thesis and if I’m going to need to do a few additional experiments to nail things down.
