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!

Back from the fair

After a week of camping at the fair, livestock shows, working various stands, and a very long, hot auction day, I am still feeling a bit hungover.  We had a fun week but it is exhausting.  The kids all did well on their projects and their shows, and had a great time hanging out with their 4-H friends.  I’m [...]

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 [...]

Ty-dy restock + new

Its here! The Ty-Dy cotton restock.  And, the new Ty-Dy Dots (shhhhh).  Also restocked a couple of  Ty-Dy Socks colors and am waiting on the backorders and new colors (and, shhhh, the new Sock Dots) to arrive . . . lots of fun stuff to work on.  Did I ever show you a picture of my Slant [...]

While I was away

This is what happens when I’m gone for a week ….

New Opal

This is the new Opal sock yarn that came in while I was on vacation.  Notice anything odd about it?  Like that it has already been opened and very obviously ooohed and aaahed over?   Seems that when I miss UFO night [...]

New March category- finally

Wow, it’s been a very long time since my last post.  Not because I’ve been slacking, though.  And, since we DID get the big snow and I DID get to snuggle in for a few days I haven’t been pouting, either.  Just been incredibly busy.   No Penny means that I am stocking and working the [...]

spring fever? summer tops?

its coming, spring that is, and i am itching to clean and organize and start more new projects. not a good thing for someone who has 26 projects on their list! can we say overwhelmed? i know, its time for another to ten list….I’ll get to that as I organize later.   Right now, though, a [...]

Starry is here!

I just (and I mean JUST) finished checking in Starry, the newest from Dream in Color.  The base of this sock weight yarn is Smooshy; so you know it is… well, smooshy and because it is Dream in Color you know the colors are fabulous.  I can see shawls and scarves in this, maybe a [...]
