After eighteen months of faffing around and telling myself that ‘all new businesses take a while to get established’, I have taken the bull by the horns and started listening to that inner voice. What’s it saying? “Do it properly - this is a real business”.
So this is what’s been happening today:
And I need a little help from you guys out there! Please take a few moments to fill in the survey below. It’s anonymous, but leave me a comment to say you’ve done it and I’ll enter you in a draw for a yarny prize. Survey closes this Sunday evening UK time.
There’ll be a lot more new stuff going on around here - including a total overhaul of the website. All your input and constructive criticism will be much appreciated.
Thanks!
P.S. Pollen seems to be lying low for now - I slept flat last night Woo!

Hi Diane, I just completed the survey. I hope my comment about downloading helps increase pattern sales. Good luck with the business plans.
Glad to read the sleeping is improving. I remember years of sleeping upright and longing for rain. I hope it clears out all the pollen for you.

Hi - I’ve filled in your survey. Had to put that I am in Aus and too far away to learn spinning from you - but I shall be back in the UK next year (for good) so that latter may change!
August 5th, 2008 at 4:43 am
I completed the survey, but forgot to say that I’d love to see more spin-a-longs.
August 5th, 2008 at 5:25 am

Hey you, just did the survey! Sounds like you’re really getting into the ‘knitty gritty’ now! I’m not sure how (or why) you want to improve your blog exactly, so I was stumped when it came to suggestions for you. Good luck with it all.
August 5th, 2008 at 3:04 pm
Survey completed!
August 5th, 2008 at 5:19 pm
What a great idea for a survey! I loved the “what age group do you identify with” - that’s so much more fitting than what age I currently am!
August 5th, 2008 at 6:42 pm
Survey completed! I put my actual age range although I feel more like 18 than 39 :)
August 5th, 2008 at 10:10 pm
I did the survey!
August 5th, 2008 at 11:45 pm

August 7th, 2008 at 5:42 pm
I’ve left mine - looking forward to the spinning workshop next month.
August 9th, 2008 at 9:50 am
I wanted to have a larger age group from 25-60! I chose the latter! Hope my contribution helps!
