Whew! What a fun couple of weeks....first the Fargo Street Fair. If you have never attended make a note for next year. It is always during our shop anniversary so we really pulled out the stops and had 4 great days (thank you everyone). Then we went directly to Bonanzaville for the 3rd Fiber Arts Festival. How fun was that! Here is a picture of boucle's Sheep to Shawl team. Left to right: Thuy, Cheryl, Ruth, Caitlin & Barb. We were the first ones finished (from raw fiber to woven shawl in 5 hours) and we produced a lovely shawl that is displayed in our shop. Come in and check it out. Also, we have some really great new knitting stuff. Really cute mugs and notebooks from Thomas Joseph (all the way from Ireland, and of course they have cute little sheep on them- great gifts for your baaaad girlfriends). Debra's garden has a really nice row counter necklace that is new this year along with beautiful glass stitch markers. We girls like to decorate our projects, don't we? I couldn't help myself I matched a new project to a striped tote bag that I got for free (I can hear my girls now "mother, you are so matchy, matchy!"). And then there is the YARN- we are new with Tahki Stacy Charles this year and are getting in some really great yarn. There is the Donegal Tweed (again from Ireland, is there a theme here?) and coming soon Operadarte, Superior & Cocco. Also, the great fashion yarns (eyelets, ladders, etc.) that you have been requesting for your projects are in with a nice little pattern booklet. Have a great weekend and don't get "tornadoed" as my little grandson said so sweetly.
