Stop the madness!!

OMG- there is SO much coming in and going out that I haven't had a free minute to blog! (deep cleansing breaths, deeeeep cleeeeeeeaaaansing breeeeeeaaaathsssssss) OK, that's better.



We've been working like mad fiends to get the new class list in print. The web site has most of the classes listed - there are still a few additions to be made - and I should have the paper copy to the printers today. Not sure why it has taken so long this time but, well, it has. Sorry!

First, let me say that the Sock Pals II exchange was great and everyone who participated was thrilled! What a fun group. There were calls for doing it every three months but I think we'll stick to every 6 months for now or until we figure out how to do it more often.
New stuff keeps coming in by the truckload - literally!!! We have this wonderful new display thingy for all our new Louet yarn. (I got to put it together, of course. Yipee!) We have Gems (100% Merino) in Super Fine/Fingering and Fine/Sport weights, KidLin (49% Linen, 35% Kid Mohair, 16% Nylon), and Riverstone bulky weight (100% wool)

The new Autunno yarn (100% Fine Merino) is fiberific (my new word). I think the red might have to come home with me..... And we just got 4 new colors from the Opal Rainforest 3 collection.
Last but never least, we now have Noro Silk Garden Chunky.
AND.....today is Victoria's birthday!!!!! Be sure to give her happy thoughts today!

More New Stuff!

It is that time of year when big boxes get delivered and we start wondering where to put everything! Between now and mid October, we should have all of our "new" yarns and teaware in the shop. What I thought I would do blog-wise during this time period is try to post as often as I can about the new stuff - not a lot of detail, just "look at this!" type of entries. So, along those lines, here is what came in today:

New TOFUtisie colors

And here is the Simple Cardigan from Peace Fleece that Ellen just finished. We also received a new shipment of buttons from Durango - mostly metal, some wood, and some shell.
