Going Offline For a Few Days

I had an epiphany yesterday while finishing up the last tweaks to the Big Sky Knitting Designs website. I had almost given up waiting for a bush to catch on fire and start speaking.

I’ve come up with a way to corral all of my activities in one place and have a store for my sewn items without opening an Etsy shop. (Although it can be nice to have a third-party entity handling the niggling details of running a business, the whole Ravelry debacle made plain the real disadvantages of that model.) I also came up with a business name that I liked that no one else is using. I even snagged the corresponding domain name.

When I set up the website for this blog, I did it in such a way that if I ever started another kind of creatively-focused business, this would be its home and the blog would become a subset of something bigger. I’m still not sure if or how this new enterprise is going to evolve, but it needs a place to do that if it’s going to happen at all. Having just finished building another website in Squarespace 7, I am much more familiar with the software and its capabilities. The renovations to this website shouldn’t take more than a few days. Please do not expect a giant rollout with a lot of fanfare! The changes will be small at first. (You should know that I hate to change anything.) I didn’t want to disappear without some explanation, however.

And we’ll all see what happens.
