Jen and the older vampire

Wednesday, May 3rd, 2006

_As many of you know, the next [Sweet Shop](http://www.sweetgeorgiayarns.com) update is tomorrow — May 4th at 12 noon PDT — and so here is a teeny tiny preview of a few new colourways…_

Yeah, this wasn’t something I had planned… but this was a super special request from my dear friend, Jen. She is making her way through episodes of [Buffy](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffy_the_Vampire_Slayer) for the _first time_ and is _completely smitten_ with [Angel](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angel_%28vampire%29). A couple weekends ago, she came over to the house and exclaimed, _”Fishy! You have to do an ‘Angel’ colourway!”_

Jen, a smart, stylish, high-powered mergers & acquisitions lawyer for a big-time law firm is reduced to girly goofiness by a 250-year old, sometimes Irish, completely fictional vampire… I LOVE IT. That’s what makes Jen completely endearing. How could I say no?

Angel: a little bit of bleeding heart, a lot of brooding.

So please indulge Jen and I in a bit of girly fun. Jen gets a set for her stash and I’m saving a set to knit Jaywalkers but there will be two more sets of Superwash Sock skeins in the shop tomorrow. Plus these…

Another 50 skeins, awaiting their close-ups…

After talking with the server guys yesterday, I’ve hopefully optimized the current server so that it won’t crash again with all those connections (fingers crossed). But in any case, after this shop update, I’ll move the Sweet Shop to it’s own dedicated server! See you tomorrow!
