A Fun Day at the Store

Yesterday was such a fun day at the store. Brenda and a friend came over. They seemed to enjoy themselves. We sure enjoyed their visit. Brenda brought over her Garter Stitch Jacket back from Fleece Artist, wow is it soft. I tried to get their yarns in the store but they are so back ordered I can't get any until the fall. Mom and I were both in the store yesterday and we were both busy all day. Lots of customers were in. Marnie a Quadra knitter was in and she is nearly finished her Mango Moon sweater. I will post a picture of her wearing it when she is done. It looks great. I finished the hooded sweater with the Sirdar Yoyo on Friday and I sold while I was waiting for the ferry on Friday. I didn't even get a picture of it. I had enough yarn left over to make aSirdar Purple Haze Baby Sweater baby sweater.
I needed to have something to show just how nice this yarn is. I love it. Sold some yesterday at the store.
I worked on my Noro Silk Garden socks Noro Silk Garden socks 86Dfor the new pattern book. I am keeping these socks once they are done getting their picture taken for the book. They are so warm and nice, I got 1 sock out of 1 ball of yarn. I hope to finish the second one today. Then I have to get back to baby sweater knitting for my new Grandbaby due in June. I am knitting a pink and a blue outfit just in case. I can always sell the outfit the baby won't need.
Today is really foggy here. A perfect day to nestle in and knit.

Hi Shelley. Barb and I really enjoyed our visit yesterday too. She was very impressed with the store and wants to come whenever I venture over. We had a nice time wondering around Q Cove, and had a great lunch too.

I agree, good day to stay in and knit.

Thanks for telling me about the wrist stretch, it's helping a lot.

Hi Shelley,
Penny and I had a GREAT time in your wonderful store yesterday. What a great way to end our kayak holiday. Thank you so much for being so helpful. I will definitely be over on the ferry as a foot passenger really soon. Your shop is not too far from the dock so I think it will be a nice walk. Now, the only problem is.....which project should I start first ?!?!? Also, the "Twisted Sister" book is marvelous!!! I might just try dying some wool myself. Take care, and it was such a pleasure to meet you and your mom and dad and Cameron. Sincerely, Wendy
