This is Tom at play. A friend’s son was getting married and we went to the Stag & Doe for a bit, and they had games – this bike didn’t have the power that Tom is used to but he had fun anyways. The idea was to go as slow as possible – not one of his favorite things – bikes are built for speed!
16 boxes of Rowan just came in – I can’t even open them because I tore apart the front room yesterday to rearrange the baby and sock yarn. And tonight we have Alfie coming for her top down sleeve class. Must resist – cannot be sidetracked by Rowan – must resist…maybe
A slow boat from Japan has finally landed! I got some of the new Noro in today! They have a new DK – Maiko is Silk, Mohair and Wool – ymmm! AND Silk Garden sock yarn is here! I’ve just emptied the boxes so will post pictures tomorrow.
This week – starting on Wednesday is New Hamburg’s Sidewalk sales and starting Friday is Morparfest – lots of reasons to come to town. And Saturday would be a great day to come see us – We have knit in public cause we can’t join the Knit in the Park in Waterloo – as much as I would like to.
And how about a free demo on some knitting software? Saturday, 1-3 come and prepared to be wowed.
We just finalized details – Ilga Leja is coming on Sunday, September 14th for a Brunch workshop. The class is Glorious Garter and if you’ve ever had a chance to take a class with this lady you know how much you’re going to enjoy it. If you haven’t then here’s your chance.
Ilga is going to have a booth at the KW Knitters Fair so be sure and stop by and see all her delicious designs.
