.... well haven't we all been busy???

What have you been up to? I've finished a sweater (okay, it's was a kids sweater), finished an afghan (okay, it was chunky wool), organized my shop and my house ('cause my DD moved out and by the by, took a bunch of stuff! huh?) and organizing events for our wonderful shop.

The first Event up is Kate Atherley! Teacher, designer and writer has written a book called "Beyond Knit and Purl" and it's getting rave reviews. We've arranged for Miss Kate to come to On The Lamb on Thursday April 19th: 3:30 Continental knitting class and 7p.m. for presentation and Cheese and wine.

Have you always wanted to know all the "Dirty Little Secrets" that great knitters over the ages have learned to make their garments look even better? Do you want a book to help you become a better, more accomplished knitter?
This book is for you! This event is for you!

Class is $30 (limited to 10) , Presentation is $50 (which includes a copy of Kate's book, and Cheese and Wine) - buy them both and save $5.00. Reservations are required.

Special Draw for a great doorprize!

Tickets will go fast, and we can only hold with payment!

It is still winter ...

and i still love an evening with my knitting on my lap ... and Theo the puppy, and Sammy the cat and Purl the pug on the sofa behind my head, snoring and snorting.

It's a simple, like me.

Debbie Bliss Magazines are here!

New spring edition is out and i really like it! Lot's of shawls with beginner lace (now, don't get scared - lace is only yarn overs and knit togethers - you can do it!) and really cute kids clothes.

Pick one up before they are gone!

aaaaah Christmas ....

Come and gone again.

Interesting question posed by my daughter this year: "What was you favourite present to GIVE?"

Hmmmm. Mine were the headbands and hats i knit for my nieces and nephews and the books i picked out all by myself for darliing daughters BF.

Yup. What were your favourite presents to GIVE?

It's snowing ...

and that's better than rain, right? At least we can push snow to the side, lift it out of the way and slide over it.
Need we say that we can't do that with Rain?

AND we can dress for the snow! Sweaters, touques, hats, headbands, mitts, capes, cardigans, legwarmers, fingerless gloves. The world is your Oyster.

And the Oyster Shell is right here at On The Lamb.

(okay that was an awkward metaphor, but it kinda works!)

We've got what you need for any project, plus lots of notions to keep your projects in good order!

Come and see us! There's only 24 days, and 8 hours left 'til the Big Guy arrives! And he's expecting you to pull your own weight! Let's go! Let's knit!

My Monday ...

... went on my annual Christmas shopping trip with my Baby Girl, Sister-in-Law and her Mother-in-Law (MIL is 89 and out walked the three of us!) Pretty successful, shopping gettin' done!

Came home and finished the pattern for our headband that is displayed in our window for Christmas. (Are you seeing the patten?)

Wound yarn for a baby blanket; baby will be born just before Christmas (getting it?)

Just about to wind REALLY THICK RED yarn to make a CHRISTMAS stocking ....

You've got it now, right?

Christmas is coming and people love your handknit gifts.

And ... go!
