~ All I can say is WOW! April started off like any other April, both my brothers celebrated birthdays (the baby turned 40), my mom, sister in law and uncle all celebrated birthdays as well. A certain bunny came calling and left far to much chocolate and goodies at my house, some of which made it's way to the shop, thank you to all who helped it leave the building! Then momentum began to build and before I knew it the month was over.
~ We started our month of events in the shop with Tastings featuring Louisa Harding's Spring/Summer yarns and it was another success, we'd love to see the finished Fringe Purse's from the many kits you purchased in various colors, please bring them in for photos!

~ The following week we were joined by a nice group for Knitting with Purpose, in addition many of you who were not able to join us that Friday brought in beautiful hats throughout the week, THANK YOU!
~ The following day we had our Skacel Trunk Show which was well attended and a big success. A special thanks to Michelle, Marie and Ann our beautiful models they did a great job.
~ This past Saturday Connie from Cascade Spindle Company joined us and held a Drop Spindle class, we had 13 registered students who all did a great job and all spun their own one of a kind first yarns. Liz and I also gave it a try and I have to say I think I've got the bug. I'm already eyeing the beautiful spindles and of course the fiber.
~ In addition to the many events we held we had two surprise visits in the shop this past week! Debbie Macomber www.debbiemacomber.com, author of the Shop on Blossom Street as well as many other great books, stopped in and brought Nancy and I an autographed copy of her newest book Back on Blossom Street. Today Susanna Hansson www.oneofsusannas.com , designer of one of our favorite patterns the Two-Thirds Sachet, came into the shop, I wasn't able to spend much time with her but it was lovely to meet her.
~ Tomorrow Nancy and I are off to the final meeting for the LYS Tour www.lystour.com, we are so excited to be participating and looking forward to meeting many new knitter's from Western Washington.
