Opening day…

Herr we are, just starting the Thurs. night preview.

Yes, we are open for business

Even though the boxes piled against the window give cause for  concern, this is just part of the extra stock  we’re taking to Stitches Midwest… And, we really hope that after loading the trailer today we can give the customers room to shop for the rest of the week. But, a lot of inventory will be [...]

The path to my desk

is blocked by boxes. It makes it a little hard to do desk work. But look what is in that box…new colors of encore tweed!

So close to being done

"Tee for Two" in Blueberry Fields

I have not had near enough time to knit recently.  I planned on getting more done last week, but when the sweet corn is ready, it’s ready.  I like to put up lots of sweet corn, so I took two days off of everything else and did nothing but [...]

Knitting at the McGregors

We’re all busy knitting away. Tom on his Elsebeth Lavold Eucool sweater.  He reports he’s almost to the underarm on the front. Hakey hiding way in the back working on Tahki Cotton Classic and a White Lies Design pattern.  Tara starting a pair of Selbuvetter Fair Isle mittens in Shepherds fingering in hopes we’ll have [...]

Haley, the fingerless gloves and Shipshe, ebay

Getting down to the wire and Haley has three little fingers to finish, ends to weave in and washing/blocking to do. Saturday is judging. She has several days this week that she’ll be working with her horse, Luke, getting him ready to show so she needs to have it finished today. Thankfully [...]

Update: Cleopatra

Well, what do you know!

Opal Kaleidoskop and Cotton 2010

I DO have a few things under my desk, thanks for asking.  They have been pillaged and plundered but there is still plenty left.   Waiting patiently to be checked in are Opal Kaleidoscope and Cotton 2010.  I am really digging the Cotton 2010.  The colors are somewhat muted and have [...]

Cassidy progress

Today, I want to knit…. Here is what I’ll be working on in between church, dinner with the family, finishing a stocking for a customer, and hopefully cruising Pretty Lake in the sunshine.

I did have to make changes and I don’t know if I told you about them. The sleeves start with [...]

Did I mention....

that I only work 2 days a week during the summer?  So when I said earlier that I would spend the next few posts updating you on what’s been happening lately I hope you didn’t take that to mean that these posts would be close together!  But seriously, would you rather I write about the things [...]
