It’s been a harried week around these parts, between our store manager enjoying her vacation this week to a wide range of activities at the shop to me dyeing a BIG pile of yarn Tuesday evening to preparations for our weekend of fun and workshops with Janet Szabo and more. I couldn’t be happier […]
Well, the best intentions……..I wanted to blog almost daily while we were at TNNA, but that didn’t happen. And getting back into the swing last week was a bit hectic, so I didn’t get much done online last week, either. Enter Sunday (yesterday, 6/21), a day when Matt and I can typically get […]
It’s fun to be on a mini-vacation of sorts, even if it is a mostly a business trip. The first two days are typically more “down time”, as Matt and I tend not to take classes and just hang out with friends and attend the few things that happen on Friday night (fashion show, […]
well, sorta……I did work on the weekly newsletter early this morning, then ran some errands, came back to the house and shot several of the pictures you’ll see below, ran some errands with Matt, went by the shop, hit the grocery store, fixed dinner, relaxed, and now I’m blogging. Yup–the perfect day!
The weather has […]
Little smidges and bits and patterns are arriving at the shop on a regular basis, which means lots of model knitting for me (which I love!). So, there’s plenty of inspiration around me
that’s a new 100% baby alpaca yarn from Cascade that will be added to the shelves this fall. I’m not sure […]
I’ve been working hard on Claudie for the past week (I started it last Sunday), and I haven’t shown it to you at all here….yet. Here’s the pattern photo, for a point of reference
Claudie is a design from Black Purl, a midwestern pattern source that’s headed up by someone who owns a yarn […]
Tuesday was a great day off, and Wednesday made up for it–in spades. From start (around 8 a.m.) to finish (I turned in last night at 12:30) I had something going on. The middle of the day (from about 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.) was filled with interesting stuff, some of which we’ll […]
Several things make for the perfect day off, and I’m guessing most of them are in place today. Beautiful weather
CHECK! So beautiful that I’ve been trying to soak up as much of it as possible. Much like these guys
Can you see them? there’s one on the end of the […]
I knew WEEKS ago that today was gonna be a fun day. Les, one of my favorite sales reps, called to set an appointment awhile back, hoping to be one of the first out of the gates (I mentioned how May 1 means several things, depending on your culture, or heritage in a post […]
I did some power knitting on my Eyelet Cardigan project over the weekend and finished the body on Sunday evening
I am, of course, biased….but I think it’s coming along BEAUTIFULLY and I can’t wait to get the sleeves on it and move it across the finish line. But something has crossed my path that […]
