We have moved our shop from Maddox Ave. to 7151 Horseshoe Dr. still on Chincoteague Island and this is where we’ll be for a very long time. We’ll be opening to the public on Jan. 18th.

Day One: a shrink wrapped shop being loaded onto our pickup!

Day Three: Chaos for sure. Where in the world did I put????

Day 8: Believe it or not, order is being restored one day at a time (one yarn at a time?)

We’ve got the yarns and the colors for sure.

When on the Island, make sure you stop by after Jan. 18th. We’ll be ready!

Thanks to everyone for making our Black Friday Sale a really good one.
We are shipping those orders this week and will be getting the
Sand Dollar sale going again next week. There are only so many hours
in a day sadly, not that that’s a recent discovery, but sometimes
it’s a little more apparent. So…hope all had a wonderful Thanksgiving
and are looking forward to a lovely December with all its festivities.

Working on a pair of fingerless mitts using the Cabin Fever pattern with the
cable on the back of the hand (Shirl’s Mittlets) and knitting in the round with
magic loop and Rowan Felted Tweed. Lots of other projects going also…namely baby blankets, one for baby Madeline born in October and one for upcoming
(read that as when is this baby gonna be born???) grandbaby soon to put in
an appearance. Also on the needles is a cowl out of Rowan Lima. Don’t get me started on projects. A little embarrassing.

We’re getting the dates and topics for our 2012 Retreats lined up so watch for them to be posted.

Have a great day! It’s sunny here on the Island!

Our one complaint

for the show is that we do not get to visit with people. We are so busy that nothing much can be exchanged but a “hi” and a “thank you”. On Sunday we were able to zip out here and there and purchase some Christmas gifts but other than that, gobbling down a piece of fruit was the extent of activities other than manning the sales table. Of course from the buisness end, that’s wonderful. But maybe a day just for vendors to walk around and see what’s there?

I did get to talk to the folks at the Greener Shades booth about their dyes. Has anyone used them? Would love to hear of anyone’s experience with it.

This is extremely busy time of year especially with the birth of our new granddaughter, Madeline Ruth. It was most inconvenient of her to put in her appearance this past week. So, we are off to see her and the rest of the family this week.

Wouldn’t you know. I’m at the last set of openwork pattern, 3 sets of stacked yo’s and lo and behold the last set is off by one stitch. Must have been the TV program I was watching or perhaps it was my grandsons wearing me out on the beach? Either one would do as an excuse, right? Well, that translated into having to rip out all three sets (228 sts on each row – just so you get the picture here) and this has put me behind and Melissa is coming today and she probably is up to binding off for the neck. Only kidding, (I hope). Will take a pic and post it so you can see great gnashing of teeth on my part and the smug smile on hers.

We have closed the shop on Chincoteague Island to prepare for hurricane Irene. Please take care and we’ll see you next Tuesday, August 30th!

The Fiber Frenzy Folks from Snow Hill visited the shop yesterday.
