Are You Ready for the Weekend??

Tuesday night was jam packed at Yarn Cravin' the past two weeks! Last week some people were even sitting on the floor it was so crowded. They were good sports about it, though, and we did help them up at the end of the evening. This week Julie won the door prize and look how excited she was: I think that yarn is Comfort DK. I tried to win by getting my ticket while passing through that room on my way back through to my seat, but no such luck. I was closer than usual, though.

Gina was working on finishing her sweater all evening and did finish, except for weaving in the ends and blocking. Here's a shot of her putting on the buttons, which match fabulously. Honestly, though, she bought the buttons long ago, and found yarn to match. "Reverse Engineering," she said.
Here's a shot of modeled sweater. Gina is headless, at her request! Great sweater, Gina.Now, about that Spring Retreat I may have mentioned once or twice. (hahaha) It's THIS weekend, April 25-26. Look what just came into Yarn Cravin' if you want to do some spinning at the Retreat:

Yummy, yummy roving. Aren't the colors fabulous?

With the number of new spinners that we have that are becoming addicted, you might want to hurry over to the shop (run!!) and get your braid of roving ASAP.

Of course, the next blog entry will probably have some photos about the Retreat, but lots of what happens there will never be suitable for the internet!
Happy knitting!
