Monday's

Today, I convinced the Farmer to spend the day with me, or at least after the Vet came for a routine visit. We headed off to the big city to pick up, yup you're right...Frill Seeker! 10 new colours, and 4 colours of the Lace effect. Then to the mall for a few household errands and a stop for caffeine along the way. A quick trip to the Grocery store and then headed to the shop to unload the yarn and put up some new shelves he made last week.

I did get to go out for supper..so a pretty good day all round.

No pictures it's late and I want to work on the 2nd of two hats I am making as shop samples. A new favourite yarn!

Come see!

Dreaming?

The only problem with this is that if yarn really fell from the sky..I would never meet all the amazing people that come in to the shop!

See You Tuesday!

Two Things!

Two thing that aren't happening today:

#1 No big snowstorm for Bowmanville, everyone was worried about the big storm heading our way and Lake Ontario did it's job and kept it from coming this direction! (I don't know if my 'science' is right, but those lakes seem to keep all the nasty snow weather south of us when the wind is from the North.)

#2 Frill Seeker is not coming to the shop. It is still in processing!

Things that will get done today: I will attempt to empty the boxes that decorate the shop!

See you Soon

New Stuff!

I have spent a good part of the last week opening box after box of some really great new stuff! Sock Yarn from Regia. I put together the stand all by myself!

This box is filled with the new Liberty Wool. Washable 100% wool in great colour themes. The book has some great patterns.

New Wooden Shawl Pins, I just asked for the pretty ones and they came!

Lantern Moon products are now more readily available to me. Above is Baabs the scissor holder there are some really cute bags and other 'gifty' products from this lovely company. They make the products in Vietnam and the company supports women and their families. If there is anything on the website that you would like I would be more than happy to order it for you.

There are some Yarn Challenge Packages left to claim. $5 gets you into the challenge. It's fun to watch every one's expressions and they plan their projects.

See You Soon.

Family Day?

It's Monday and Family Day. A Holiday here in Ontario. Someone asked last week if I would close on Tuesday because Monday is my regular 'day off. As I am self employed Holidays have a different meaning altogether. The Farmer sees these Holidays as a bit of an inconvenience because equipment doesn't recognize Statutory Holidays and they tend to break down and require parts that aren't available till the next day or later.



Today is 'bill day' for the Farm, I catch-up on last month's accounting and pay the 'staff': the vet, the parts supplier, the feed company.....but I am stalling because I would rather sit in my 'nest' and knit in the sunshine.

Or learn something new with my new toy?

The dog wants out, I am going for a walk then back to work...maybe.

Have a lovely "day off"

See You Soon.

Sweater Day!

Okay, today WWF has made this Sweater Day! Pull out those sweaters you have knit in the past and turn down the thermostat in the house 3 degrees. (I could do that a the shop, but then it would actually be warmer outside! ;) The thermostat here reads a balmy 16 degrees C. )

At least the Weather has co-operated and made it easy to turn down the heat and use less energy!

Gwen's February Lady Sweater, we are thinking of doing a knit-a-long (KAL) class for this project. If you are interested in joining us contact the shop.

Turn down the heat, put on a sweater, save the planet!

Tomorrow is Knitt'n Night! Bring a swatch if you want to learn some fix-it tricks!

See You Soon.

WAIT!

I ran out of one of the colours I picked out for the Yarn Challenge and now I am out of kits!
Please come in later this week and I will have more.

Thanks!
