The store opening went great

It went great. I had lots of happy customers today. Everyone seemed to like the store and were glad to have a yarn store again on Quadra. A few people came over from Campbell River to see the store. That was great. Brenda came. It was nice to see her again.
I have a lot of pictures so here goes.

The day was full of people coming and going. We had a few moments to just sit around and knit and I finally got to look at some of the new patterns I got in.

This is me relaxing a bit and knitting.

It was a great day and I am exhausted. I can't wait to open again on Wed. I love my new yarn store.

Hi Shelley. I'm glad I was able to come the opening, it was fun. I can't wait to knit up some of the sock yarn I bought, but need to finish the current one on the needles first. Good luck with your new venture, it is so nice to have such a great knitting resource so close to home.

It sounds like you had a good day. Congratulations. I love seeing all the store pictures and those of Brenda visiting at the store.
