I have been remiss ...

... i have not been blogging. There. I said it. And here's something else i'll say. APPARENTLY moving shop takes a really, really, really lot of time.

But i'm back ... i think ....

Here's a little titbit for you: lots of Ladies have been asking for patterns short sleeved, t-shirt kinda tops, and they aren't always easy to find. But i found 'em!

Go to your local bookstore (if they sell knitting mags) or chapters otherwise; buy the summer edition of knitscene, from the publishers of Inerweave KNITS. There are some really great cute tops (by a designer called Christoffers, no less) that will satisfy your cravings for summer t's!

WHAT????

Okay - it has to be said.

Where is the spring?

Having said that ... i assure you we still have lots of wool to make a sweater.

'cause you might need it!

So much to tell you!

We are so excited about our new shop! And we know you are excited too ... 'cause you tell us!

Biggest Challenge? Making my beeaauuutifulllll window look nice every two weeks.

Yup that means i gotta knit (or get some fab friend to knit for me!) wonderful samples for the window!

And we love Brock street; You need to meet our neighbours too!

I gotta tell you that the Blue Heron Book Store has been nominated for most wonderful bookstore in Canada .
Frankie's, the gluten free bakery, has won an award for the most innovative bakery in all of Canada! AND Frank, the baker/co-owner from Frankie's is bringing me pasta today for lunch! Gonna try the wheat-free pasta!

Oh yes, AND (lots of capitals today, huh?) Ginny from Elemi Organics, who offers natural products that are simple, practical and as unique as Nature herself, was a contributor to the Swag Bags (those freebie bags that all the stars get for attending award shows 'cause i guess they can't afford stuff) at the Grammy's this year which is a very big honour.

Yup. Those, ladies and gentlemen, are our neighbours here on Brock Street.

We really gotta step up to the plate and win something!

Anyone want to nominate us?

New and Wonderful!

... and you are all coming to our Yarn Crawl on Saturday April 9th, right?
20% off everything in the store, even the new stock!
I KNOW!

We now carry Brittany needles: The warmth and smoothness of hardwood nurtures sensitive fingers and provides natural strength and consistency for a lasting product. All wood used by Brittany comes from strictly regulated forests or small woodland owners in the United States ensuring proper environmental logging practices and selective cutting for maximum reforestation.












And if you don't want to knit, you can always do this with them!

We are in!

Very exciting last couple of days! But we did manage to move in in 1.5 days!

So many thanks to Donna, Carolynne, Carol, Junne (mumma!), Taryn (darling daughter!), Michelle, Sam, Jennifer, Pat, Jacqueline and Peter (PP).

Could not have been done without you and i thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

Now.

The unveiling!

NOT sleeping in wool ...

actually it's recylcled Sari Silk.

funny thing...

It is absolutely ridiculous how much junk there is under my counter that i really, really, really needed.

Until i have to move it.

Now i don't need it.

Really.

A reminder folks - shop is closed on Friday March 11th until Tuesday March 15th when we reopen in our new location.

With less stuff.
