When you first made the announcement about the next update, I had wondered if there were going to be problems. I'm not sure if you realize how insanely popular your yarn is; how many people want some; and how badly they want it!</p> <p>Surely you have considered doing The Yarn Thing full-time. Not sure what the economics are, but the demand is clearly there! Nothing says "I have something that people want very badly" like having to migrate to a dedicated server just to handle the traffic!</p> <p>Posting smaller batches of a designated color would probably help, too (i.e. "On May 10th I'll be putting up 2 dozen skeins of Willow.")</p> <p>Congratulations on your insane, runaway success! Not many people get to experience demand like that for something they're trying to sell. You're doing a really awesome job, under what may be very trying conditions. Keep it up, we love your yarn! :-)</p> Impressive! When you first made the announcement about the next update, I had wondered if there were going to be problems.

Congrats (even if it did crash a server). It's the yarn equivalent of being slash-dotted.</p> Well, it’s nice that you’re having so much success! Congrats (even if it did crash a server).
