We're now on Facebook!

This will be my last post here on our blog. Since buying a new computer last spring, which has Windows 7 on it, I'm no longer able to post here. I found an older computer with Windows XP still on it, so I've plugged it in just long enough to send this message. We've opened a profile on Facebook, and that's where we'll be from now on. We've already uploaded photos and videos there, so come to Facebook to join in the conversations and follow all our activities, classes, and sales!

Current project

When I'm working (closed captioning), I like to keep a "mindless" project next to my desk to work on during commercials, because we don't provide captions for commercials. So this is the current project I'm working on during that time. And I'm here to tell you, commercials are longer and more frequent than one would think, and it's amazing how much knitting I get done just during commercials! I'm rather partial to black and white, so when I saw this pattern in the latest issue of Knit 'N Style, I couldn't wait to start it. And since it's just a simple stockinette stitch, it's the perfect project for when I'm working.

Store now open on a new day!

Because of Deanne's work schedule, we've had to change the day that the store is open. Instead of Saturdays, we're now open on Wednesdays from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. We've had a very positive response to this change, so hopefully it will work well for most of you. But because of Deanne's work schedule changing every three months, there will be times in the future where we'll likely be having classes, crafting days and sales on Saturdays and/or Sundays, and we'll be posting any upcoming events here on our blog. So check back regularly, and we'll keep you up to date!

Recent projects

April made this little stuffed elephant. Here's a little "apple" hat that I made last weekend.

I'm finally up and running again!

Hello again, everyone! I've been unable to blog for a while, because my computer became infected with some kind of virus or spyware or some such thing right before Christmas. After several visits to my home over the last two months, the computer techie finally threw in the towel and admitted he couldn't remedy the problem, and ended up just wiping my hard drive clean, so now I'm back to square one, as if I've just taken my computer out of the box. What a pain. And what really irks me is that this virus came from a site that I went to while searching for a red and white candy cane striped hat pattern. What kind of warped brain would attach a virus to a knitting site? It's way beyond me that people don't have anything better to do than trying to make life miserable for others.

So, now that I've got my venting out of the way (forgive me for that, but thank you for listening☺), let's move on to much more fun things...like knitting! Which I'm assuming we've all been doing a lot of this winter, since this nonstop Arctic weather hasn't been allowing us to get outside.

We're going to start classes again, the first one being a needle felting class on Saturday, April 9th. Karen will be coming over from Lewistown to give the class, and as soon as I get more detailed information from her, I'll post it here. And hopefully, I'll be able to get a picture of the project she'll be doing that I can share with you.

Also, we've got a store on eBay where we're selling everything in the store at a reduced price. So please, check it out and see if there's anything that strikes your fancy! And if you live in the area, you can stop by the store in person and save on the shipping and handling.

Above is a picture of a sweater I just finished in Plymouth Kudo. This is such a nice yarn to work with, and I love the resulting striping effect. This yarn will also be on sale on eBay.

I hope you're all surviving this bitter cold winter, and getting a lot of knitting done!
