Independence

It's taken me all week to put it into words... but HUGE change is taking place in my life as I write.

I've worked at Schaefer Yarn as their design director for the last 5 years, and we've decided it's time for me to move on.  I've been considering
this leap for quite some time and have been waiting for just the right moment.  Thankfully I am not severing my ties with Schaefer, merely moving on to a new phase in my design career.   Change is good, right?

This means I get to start designing with other yarns as well, which might be the most overwhelming part of this decision... where to start?  The possibilities are endless, and damn, there are some nice yarns out there!!  I might already have some of this, some of this, and some of this on it's way : )!  I'll also be looking into new opportunities, like clubs, Mystery KAL's and maybe even a book?

And because I am incapable of doing a post without a pic, here's a sneak peak of my new design, Cayden, which will be released next week!
I look forward to taking you along on this next phase of my journey... I PROMISE it won't be boring!
