There is a lot going on now. I need to make a to do-list and try to sort out my thoughts, ideas, musts and want tos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Design from fleece to garment blog series<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There was a lot of attention on my latest post on calculations<\/a>. So many people seem to have heard that question before, “will you knit me a sweater? I’ll pay for the material cost.” Apparently, it is an important discussion \u2013 about the value of women’s work, the appreciation and recognition of hand crafted items and the history of textile production. The post has been shared over a thousand times and it has been read by ever 3500 people in all continents in just a few days. That is amazing and totally overwhelming. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The response from followers to the Design from fleece to garment blog series was overwhelming<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Overwhelmed<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

That’s how I feel right now, overwhelmed. I am thrilled that so many people read the post. I am so happy that so many people recognized the frustration of investing so much time and love into a craft that few people understand the skills behind. But I’m also exhausted by the attention. Overwhelming does that to a highly sensitive person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A lot of people liked the sweater<\/a> too (and the whole blog series). And world of wool<\/a> linked to the sweater in their newsletter, fancy that! Many people asked for a pattern for the sweater and I will make one. Soon. When I have had some time to breathe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Online courses<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Over 200 people have taken the free course in How to pick a supported spindle and bowl<\/a>! I have got so many lovely reviews. People really like the structure of the course. The most interesting concept in the course has been the shape of the upper spinning tip and its impact of ergonomics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I should launch my new course<\/em> soon. Just need to check a few technical stuff first. I wonder if anyone would come if I did a live webinar<\/em>. I should ask my followers. Hosting a live webinar would most definitely be really scary, but I think it will be good for me. Not everything can be edited and well polished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh, and I need to ask the students of the free course to check their spam filters<\/em>. Perhaps my emails have got caught there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wonder what course I will make next. Perhaps my followers have suggestions and requests<\/em>? Navajo spindle spinning, supported spindle spinning, consistency, fiber preparation? Yeah, that would be the best thing, to ask them. After all, it is for my followers I make the courses, they should know what courses they want. Perhaps they want the opportunity to get a private video coaching session<\/em>? That would be so cool!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Secret articles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It feels good that secret article 1 is finished. It will be published soon, that’s so cool! Gotta get to work on secret article 2 too, and especially secret pattern x, that will be a challenge. I need to plan the photo shoots too. I’ll put the pattern, the article and the photo shoots on top of the to do-list. Secret pattern y can wait a while. I don’t think it will be a very complicated one to write, though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Planning the video season<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Video shooting season starts soon. Well, depending on when spring will really come. We’re still in mid-winter. But I do have some material from last summer that I haven’t released. I should edit them before I start shooting new videos. And there is that secret video project coming up in May, together with my spinning friends A and M. That will be a lot of fun!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Courses in spring and summer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I have two in-person courses<\/a> to plan too. The supported spindle course series in Stockholm<\/a> in March and the five-day course<\/a> at S\u00e4tergl\u00e4ntan<\/a> in July! I like the concept \u2013 a spindle a day. Just got to figure out how to bring all the different spindle types for all the students on the train.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I really need to spin. Need as in my mind needs the serenity and time to recharge. And to get in a mode of creative thinking. Yeah, that’s what I’ll do right now, by the fireplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do I have to go to work on Monday? If it is too slippery to take the bike I can knit on the metro! And knitting at coffee breaks is always a conversation starter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
