LYS Tour, Day 2


Wow!!! What a great turn out. I arrived at noon and hit the floor running. We have met so many fantastic people! And that's what this whole thing is about - people. Not that I'm unhappy about sales but it really is the people that make this whole thing worth doing. Our Saturday regulars even braved the masses and came to hang out for the day.

We had a surprise this morning with the arrival of our new ShiBui sock yarn. Yes, I threw myself into the box and rolled in it before putting it on the shelf (a bad habit of mine). ShiBui has its own mill so they have a very unique twist to their merino superwash and it is beautimus!!! They also have some great pattern support - wraps, shrugs, baby booties, etc. If you are touring, be sure to take a look.

Tonight, the VYT gang is going to Kari's for some after-tour libations and much deserved "west and wewaxation", to quote Elmer Fudd. We aren't sure if Sunday's crowd will be like todays but we are guessing that there should be at least a few visitors trying to get those last few shops in. Can't wait!

One down, one to go

I finished one of my Yarn Pirate socks and have cast on the second. (see "Our First Blog" for a photo) I don't know about you but if I don't cast on that second sock right away..... Anway, it looks great! (I'll load up a picture tomorrow - no camera today.)

I decided to make yesterday a "finish-what-you've-started" day and put the finishing touches on two other projects I had in the works. One is a beautiful Stretto Poncho from our pals at Fleece Artist and the other is a cute little crocheted bunny baby hat out of Dreambaby DK. I'll have them both in the shop by Tuesday and I'll load up some photos. Fun stuff!
