As usual, it has been wonderful to see our summer folks.  I love it when you come back in after another year.  Believe it or not, if I do not see you every summer, I wonder if you are okay.  So, thanks for stopping by.

If you have not been in the shoppe for several months, now is a good time to come in.  We have added new yarns, books, patterns, and samples.  One of the yarns we are excited about is Casablanca by Cascade.  It is a lovely blend of wool, silk, and mohair.

Knit On,
Kathy
