Seeing Green

It's not often that we reach 70 degrees in mid-March, but for St. Patrick's Day, we sure did! What luck! Tuesday Insanknitty was held outside on the porch. The sun was even shining for us.

Sarah and Becky had their green on, but Barb looks like she just saw a spider!


Addi Purl was wearing green, too.

Sarah showed off her green socks, made from the St. Patty's Day Flat Feet.

Bobbie made a fabulous green cake for us. Look, I saved you a bite. Yummmmm.... (If you get to Yarn Cravin' fast enough there might be a whole piece left for you. Seriously.)

So, where were all of you? We missed you! You wouldn't believe all the new goodies coming into the shop for spring and summer. Stop by and look, and touch. Amazing books are coming in too; everything from basic "how-to" books on up to detailed sock books. Stay in the loop, because some of these will fly out the door as fast they come in.

The Porch is Open... Well, sometimes.

Some of our knitter friends came in from Chicago and southern Ohio this past weekend, and the weather cooperated enough for us to actually knit outside. Yes, friends, the porch is open! The white stuff is gone, and the days are longer and warmer. Here's photographic proof that people were indeed outside, knitting on the porch.


The Monday Night Sock Club knitters have socks to show off for you. Who's missing a foot??
