I warned you that we had good things come across the threshhold via courier services this morning, but no one could have expected this
This is a moveable feast, brought to us by our great friends Martha and Anne (daughter and mother, respectively). They’re local Columbinians and they are great knitters and EXTREMELY fun people. [...]
As we attempt to return to a somewhat normal existence, I did take a little time on Wednesday evening to sit with Low Helen and knit. It was a wonderful feeling, and I chose to work on a project that I knew would be a quick knit, and it supports a workshop we’re running [...]
Make it stop……….please, I implore you MAKE IT STOP
Wait until the Knitting Curmudgeon hears about this one.
And when I say briefly, I mean it–not my like usual, when I blather on and on…..
Sorry for the lack of posts, but we’re getting caught up from being buried under a pile of accumulated tasks that started to mount last week when we pretty much shut down in hopes of getting EVERYTHING ready for [...]
There’s not a single embellishment or adjective to use that sums up the weekend–it was fun, it was frenetic, it was fantastic (wait, I just used three words to describe it). We had a great time meeting new folks by the busload, reconnecting with great friends from near and far, and enjoying the wonderful [...]
We received a rather massive Noro shipment on Thursday (part of the 14 boxes of fun that arrived that day). So, we now have everything that folks asked for ahead of time (pre-orders–if you haven’t been contacted by me, you will shortly, but it’s all here, every bit of what folks asked for). [...]
OK, maybe not war, but definitely a busy day at the old yarn shoppe! We never did get everything done and many tasks remain incomplete at this moment, but we survived the day unscathed. I wish I could say the same for the shelves……just look at the disaster known as the Black Water [...]
We’re back to work this morning, and I wanted to share a little bit of the fun that we unpacked and worked with last night. We’re still terribly behind in what we wanted to accomplish before everyone shows up today, but we’ll get it all done…..eventually. Through the help of fantastic friends like [...]
Here’s a big surprise—this is beyond an all-nighter, even with Low Helen helping us out tonight (she’s hanking and stocking the Rumba right now, closely followed by the LaGran; we’re making a mohair altar…I swear). Matt’s making the final rounds on the library (he just returned from buying more shelving and more pegs for [...]
Welcome to bedlam central. It’s nothing but saws and hammering and painting and stickering and stocking and stashing and fun people everywhere! And in the middle of it all, there’s a knock at the door—despite it looking like a business, some folks still knock (mostly delivery folks–pizza, etc.). So I go to [...]
