Synchronicity
It’s the weirdest thing. Sometimes I’ll get a sudden geographical cluster of orders. After receiving, say, three orders in a week from the Toronto area, I’ll ask one of the clients if there’s something going on up there. Maybe there’s a meeting, or a showing, or some kind of convention?
There never is. It’s just kind of a fluke – as if all of a sudden, for instance, Australia just woke up all Browncoaty. Weird.
I’m about to meet the edge of what I’d feel comfortable guaranteeing by Christmas. I like to allow for “hit by a bus” time, in case something happens to me, so I pad in extra time when I’m giving my knitting estimates. I would so much rather have someone pleasantly surprised by getting their hat early than have someone be disappointed for the holidays.
Knits up next for NC, NC, and AK. That’s Alaska, not Arkansas, if you’re furrowing your brow over the abbreviation.
