October Wrap Up

October is somehow over already! Here’s a quick recap of everything that happened with MediaPeruana Designs last month:

  • The Currituck Sound not-mystery knit-a-long kicked off. Everyone is busily working on their shawls. The final pattern will be made available to everyone in early December.

  • I hosted my annual birthday sale, and everyone who deciphered the clues got 38% off their pattern purchase.

  • Somewhat delayed after Mental Health Awareness Week, I shared a bit of my story dealing with generalized anxiety disorder.

  • The promo pattern for new subscribers this quarter is Pumpkin Butter—get it for free when you join the newsletter.

  • I welcomed a new Patreon Patron, Holly.

  • I did some reflecting on my business and decided I will dedicate 2019 to making MPD viable—meaning I earn a fair income proportional to the work I put into it. If I can’t, then I’ll be moving on in 2020.

  • I was encouraged by Slow Fashion October to do some fashion-soul searching. I created a personal style mood board, which I hope to use to inspire my 2019 designs, cleaned out my closet, and—eek!—paired down my stash to make sure my yarns actually reflect my style.

Lots on the docket for November—let’s see how it goes!
