Pardon the interruption

Been busy around here again. I have been getting 
orders ready for Re Belle in Kentucky and for Ball and Skein(newest store) in Ohio. It is so exciting to send yarn out across the country, I still can't believe that Tempted is all over now. I am so happy to show you all some of the colors that I am sending out into the world. Thigh Highs (Black with Turquoise resists) and Femme (pink and black) will be hitting stores soon.
I have also been a little under the weather for the last several days. I absolutely hate headaches, especially those that last for several days. Anyway it really slowed me down. I am feeling better today and have a whole lot of catching up to do around here. I felt so bad I didn't even want to knit and that is really saying something, just laid up with a pillow over my head.
Speaking of knitting I am working on 
Linear out of the Norah Gaughan Woodland Gothic booklet from Berroco. I am using Palace instead of the Inca Gold that they recommend. It is working out wonderfully. I have learned something interesting about myself in the process too. I have always been a thrower, but all the sudden I have become a picker. I had just finished the ribbing for the back and I had an overwhelming desire to work in continental! Now I have finished the back and am working in the left front and have been knitting continental ever since. Don't know what came over me, but I am knitting faster now.
So how do you knit? Are you a thrower, picker or do you switch?
I can only knit quickly if I'm knitting Continental, but if I'm doing 2-color knitting I hold my background color in the right hand and knit it English style. I knit back backwards rather than purling because it's faster, and I absolutely CANNOT purl English style. I would have to use my toes or my teeth or something to get more than a stitch a minute when purling English. I think one time I purled around a mitten ONE TIME using English-style knitting and it took the whole hour my son was having a flying lesson.
Hi Stacy,
I'm a thrower. I love the Femme colorway.
Hope you are feeling much better now.
Sorry your sick girl I know headaches make everything suck!... love the new web page too. Got to have me some of the pink and black yarn too.. :) love ya, talk to you soon.. Robin.
Hope you are feeling better by now.
I'm a thrower. It's the way my momma taught me, so that's how I do it. I do want to try colorwork with a different color in each hand. In that case I guess I'd be a picker and a thrower. :0)
Have you ever dyed any teal and brown yarn? Just got a new blouse with those colors and thought they go together good.
So sorry to hear you've been under the weather. Your new blog page looks fabulous--and I love the "Thigh Highs" in Glam Grrl. Puppies look cuter than ever!
