Get it fast, while it lasts…

Knitosophy

Well.  We are technically closed on Wednesdays but I am here anyway.  I usually crank up the radio and open the back door, sing off key if I want to and generally get a lot done.  Sometimes, as was the case today, someone will call and beg to be let in, as this is the only day they can come.  I don’t mind this at all.  I would never decline a yarnaholic a fix.  So.  A group of gals came over today from the quilting retreat in Shipshewana (I knew they were coming).  They were so friendly and having so much fun that I…. I… I let them go through the Knitosophy and Crazyfoot.  I know, I know!  I am always giving Lea-Ann a hard time about doing this but the truth is that it is almost as much fun being the one allowing the “early” buy as it is snapping it up.  I was wooed by the prospect of being, just for a moment, a yarn demi-goddess.  Sort of like a queen throwing cake crumbs to the peasants.  Okay, maybe not quite like that, but I just wanted them to feel it was worth the trip.  Plus, it’s not like we can’t reorder, right?  So I was at my desk furiously working to get the skus in the system before they checked out and thankfully I did. So the counts on the website are accurate and available for purchase. Just to let you know, we are now out of two of the three colors of Knitosophy that I was in love with, so I was not holding out for myself.  Just puttin’ that out there.

Sock knitters are greedy!

I tell you what- I keep working away but I simply cannot go fast enough for sock knitters.  Forget about getting scans for the website, forget about giving the yarn a sku- if it’s in the building, it’s fair game.  Sometimes, I don’t even get to see the yarn before it’s gone!  My, my, my.  I was on my way to Purdue for a college visit with my oldest son Friday morning and I got this text from Lea-Ann apologizing to me and it took me a minute to realize what she was talking about and then it hit me.  I had missed knit night the night before and hadn’t hidden the boxes- thus some of the yarn disappeared.  It’s those crazy sock knitters- they have voracious appetites!    For those of you who can’t make it to the shop, I should have both Knitosophy and Crazyfoot online by Wednesday afternoon. There will, however, be a few ugly red x’s in lieu of images for a few of the yarns.  Just ignore them.  These are the yarns that have already been sold and you don’t need an image  because you can’t have them anyway.  LOL  They’ll only show up for a short while and then they’ll disappear.

Until I get (what’s left of) the new sock yarn online, maybe you’d like to check out Serendipity Tweed or the new colors, including a few handpaints, of Wildfoote.  As for me, I need to quit blogging about working and get back to it.

Happy Knitting!
