Vi laddar för Urkult för sista gången

Eftersom Urkultfestivalen i år firar 25-årsjubileum bestämde vi oss för att göra den långa resan en sista gång. Det är en fantastisk festival med med mycket kärlek men det är kanske inte miljömässigt försvarbart att göra den långa resan. Vi får försöka hitta andra sätt att nå ut till presumtiva kunder.

Mösslagret är stort men när det gäller de mössor som vi säljer mest av är lagret mer begränsat. Därför är det just nu mössor med peace- och feministmärken som sitter på stickorna.Kanske hinner några till komma av stickorna innan det är dags att packa in allt i hyrbilen.

Fortsatt återutlåning juni 2019

Det finns fortfarande några dollar kvar på kivakontot efter juni månads återbetalningar. Vilka som blir de sista låntagarna kommer att redovisas så småningom. Nu kan vi i vilket fall konstatera att vi har passerat 91 000 utlånade dollar. Visst är vi grymma! Med dagens dollarkurs blir du ju nästan en miljon.

Vad det blir av Tant Koftas garn

Det tar tid att göra slut på 20 kilo bomullsgarn och det gäller att variera sig. Här är de första virkade hattarna där också lagret av tyg klippt i remsor går åt. Nu är snart de smalaste tygremsorna slut. Snart kommer försöket att snabba upp förbrukningen av tyg genom att använda bredare tygremsor att se dagens ljus. Men det blir nog först efter Urkultfestivalen. Veckorna som återstår innan det är dags för årets festival får nog ägnas år storsäljare som mössor med peace-.och feministmärken. Mösslagret är visserligen väldigt stort, men just mössor med peace-.och feministmärken finns det inte så många av, och de är just de som säljer bäst. Alltså gäller det att försöka sticka så många det går de närmaste veckorna.
