Stash Enhancement

June 22, 2010 LYS

Ya know, I’ve been traveling so much (well, it’s a lot for me!), that I am forgetting what week or what month I’m currently in.  Even more so, what have I blogged about and not blogged about and where have I been and in what order.  Terribly frustrating you know.  I mean I could sit [...]

So, I think it’s official. I have decided that every time I travel out of town, I must visit at least ONE Local Yarn Shop (LYS), take some pictures, buy some stuff and come home and blog about it. It just feels like the right thing to do as a knitter (wow, I’m calling myself [...]

October 8, 2007 LYS

My latest project: www.nancys-knits.com So, this is the very first web site that I’ve ever built in my life. It is for my LYS that I go to and of course, my friend, Nancy who owns the store. I just thought that since it’s just in it’s baby stages, a good way to promote the [...]
