Hoping For Some Calm

Posted on: Tuesday, September 30th, 2008 in: Knitting, Matt, Merino, Projects, Sock Yarn, wool

Tuesdays–the day that Matt and I get to “take the day off”, so to speak. But not really, as most Tuesdays have us going by the shop at some point during the day. Today was no exception, as we had a couple errands to run that involved the shop as well as me [...]

Cookie Monster

What a great weekend we just wrapped up, on so many levels. Definitely one to remember, on several levels, for me. First off, the shop sponsored workshops with CookieA, designer of many beautiful socks and

fun person. That’s her reaction on Friday evening, just after arriving at ThreadBear and just after she [...]

post…….for tonight. Not much to say that’s new, as I posted twice (YES, TWICE) yesterday. Matt is off to Grand Rapids to pick up CookieA for a weekend of workshops here at the shop. I don’t expect them back until around 10 p.m., so I’m catching up on this tonight, late, because [...]

It was a busy weekend (the one prior), as we had great folks in town for a function and the shop continues to be busy–hooray! and thank you! More on my current projects (you’ll be surprised what I’m up to) shortly…maybe later today! (I hope so).
In the mean time, I did finish [...]

Let The Frivolity Resume!

Posted on: Friday, September 19th, 2008 in: Uncategorized

It’s been an odd couple of months in these parts, and I’ll just move forward and not address the icky parts and we’ll “stick to our knitting” in so many ways from here forward. Suffice to say we are blessed with amazing friends, family, customer (they’re family to us, too), and so much more…thank [...]
