Summer Starts

This summer season started off with a bang. We had friends over Sunday and Monday, great times had by all. I am looking foward to working on the store since I have had a two week break. Tony and I went to Costa Rica on the 17th and returned on the 21st. This last week has been crazy. And the boys are out of school. I am begining a new project from the One Skein book, Baby bolero made with Misti Alpaca Cotton and Silk. Wow what a great yarn!! I am looking foward to this quick project, since my last project didn't work out too well. I tried to work with a SWT Bamboo. Love the yarn and color but I have no idea what to knit with just one skein. I looked in the One Skein book and read patterns online and tried the basis one skein shawl pattern(This is how I came up with the Baby Bolero). It turned out too short. I have more of a collar not a shawl. Rip it, baby Rip it. Once I complete this Bolero I will have the guts to rip. I have other stuff to rip too. It maybe a ripping season.
I will post updates on the progress of the bolero.
I am still looking for help with the store. Anyone interested let me know.

Knitting LKN

Knitting LKN sounds like a good name for a knit club. I am wanting to start a knit club before the store opens. I know that summer is around the corner and many people don't want to knit but I need the support of other knitters. I seem to be getting bogged down with the details of opening a business and I need to be around knitters. I would be interested in hosting an informal class. Tue, Wed or Thurs nights will work best for me. I have been staring at yarn and patterns for two hours and have yet to knit. I need my creative mojo back. Knit with me.

On the move

I am busy working on the content for the upcoming website and I decided to blog. I thought that this would be a good outlet for my thoughts and maybe a way to get my new store seen on the web. We are Cables Yarn and Trim. Cables as in knitting cables. Cables will be a full service yarn boutique. All our employees will be trained to educate clients about our yarns, the classes we offer and any technique that they need to complete their project. Education---and fun will be our focus. My new quote "Teach some one to knit with quality yarn and they will never go to Wal-mart to buy cheap yarn."
