Greetings!

This is a quickie newsletter to let you know that we have the Knitter's Pride needles in stock.

Stop by and try them out!

And the reason we have such lovely weather is that I put away my warm weather clothes last week.  You can also blame me when it rains, as I probably just washed my car.
