Head Yarn Gatherer Still Alive!

Hey there,
Did anyone wonder if I'd left the planet? Well, I must admit with the opening of my shop and the amount of work (which I severely underestimated)involved, there have been days when I have been sitting on the front steps of this little shop and wondered what on earth I was thinking when I decided to plunge ahead on this project. But now, a mere 4 days from opening I can see it all coming together and am very excited - I planned to take today off to catch up around the house and find myself wanting to go to the shop - a good thing, right? Yet more yarn arrived last night and I can't help myself I have to go and put it on the few remaining shelves that are empty -

The sock kits have all been shipped - this month's yarn is very special, I think. Mostly because it's new and not very well known - yet it's from a very well known company. Sarah did a great job on the pattern - she's knit it over and over and over due to all the yarn changes and she deserves a big hug for persevering through it all.

Oh and the sock contest - we have picked a winner! And I will be announcing that on September 1st. I've just had the sock test knit and it's really good - all the entries were really good and I had a tough time with choosing, so I put it to my Pick Up Sticks team and we voted.

Enjoy your new kits!
