what’s up
Sorry for the late response to the question about sarah burton's website- it is verdigrisknits.com. She was so great and you need to check out her website! There are only 11 seats left on the bus to stitches, so if you are considering going to Sitches with us on aug. 27, you need to send in your check for $50. or come by the shop. We can not hold spaces or take charge cards. If the bus fills up, we will hold checks for a second bus. Dates for Susannie's crochet clutch bag (Photo in previous...

Books on Display
We are trying log in all the books, and eventually all the magazines in the shop. Right now all the books are layed out in the sale room for us to count and put in the computer. It is a great time to stop by and see all the wonderful titles we have at the shop(and possibly pick out a couple of books you may be interested in). I am guessing this will take the rest of the week, so stop by and take a look. Sat is Ravelry and Overnighter Day (that last bit sounded odd, but oh well). Join us...

Kate and a couple friends rode a...
