• Update spreadsheet. (I like to handle the most thrilling elements of the job first thing. I like to have a double-shot soy mocha while I do this.)

 • Congratulate a designer on her project acceptance for our Accessories special issue, due out this Fall. (That's a fun email!)

• Talk with our project editor Sarah Read about yarns for the Accessories issue. We ogle yarns for a while. (Tough work, I know)

• Final edits on feature articles for Summer. (They're looking good!)

• Check up on upcoming eBook. (Shhh! You don't know about that yet. But it's a good one!)

• Review cover for the Summer issue (Ooh la la is all I can say there!)

• Email with managing editor about picture options for Summer features. (Lots to choose from!)

• Get a coffee refill.

• Check out stitch diagrams for Summer issue. (More diagrams than ever in this next issue!)

• Send email to Laurie Wheeler, the founder of the Crochet Liberation Front, to check on the status of our engraved Flamie trophy for Best Crochet Magazine. (Shameless, I know)

• Chat with Assistant Editor Toni Rexroat about yarn for designers making squares for the Chain Reaction Afghan Project. (Fall issue – back to the future)

• Hop over to Crochet Me to check out the latest reader-submitted designs in the contest. (Can't wait to see your design!)

• Take a quick look at our Crochet Me Facebook page. (Good place to get a quick look at what's going on in our world)

• Check out Crochet Me and Ravelry to see who's creating what from the Spring issue. (The cover sweater by Doris Chan is pretty popular! I love the variations in color and tweaks to individualize the sweater)

• Review submissions for the Winter issue (I told you we work in the future! There are some good-looking submissions!)

• Crochet a few rows of the Ocean Pearls Cardigan for Crochet Me's First Official Crochet-Along. Post a comment to the forum on Crochet Me with a tip about the shaping portion. Crochet the foundation row for my daughter's version of this sweater (I know—crazy trying to do two sweaters in this Crochet-Along! But I'm doing a variation and I thought you'd like to see it.)

• Go for a walk with the doggie and talk to her about this enewsletter. She is very supportive, as little doggies are.
