Pictures Please

I know - I can't believe it either. Another day, another entry. Mark and Julia have gone off to the park - I'm supposed to be having a shower. But instead...... Every time I enter this blog I'm sadly reminded that it contains no pictures. This is no good!! My son Dave, the computer whiz, is off to his grandparents cottage for a week. So he is out of the question. Looks like I will actually have to read the Instruction Manual. This pains me. I obtained a new cell phone in May - it takes pictures too - still haven't read the manual. Digital camera - have owned it since before Nick's birthday in mid-April. Do you see any pictures yet? But I'm getting desperate. Things must change.

I've spent the last hour or so making contact with yarn suppliers. I'm OK with the regular stuff in the shop, but still haven't been able to make in-roads for anything unique (hand-dyed and spun). So another e-mail off to Fleece Artist in Nova Scotia practically begging them to contact me. Then another to Fiddlesticks and one to Lorna's Laces. I still have to make contact with the Addi Turbo supplier in B.C. This is a day off for me from the shop but not really a day off. Lots to do. I'm anxious to get one more small shelving unit in the store to fill with some fabulous yarns.

It has occurred to me that owning/operating a wool store takes some time and, ironically, I haven't been able to do much knitting. On the go I have Opal Petticoat Cotton Socks, Cabin Fever Evening in Eden Shawl, Elsebeth Lavold Cropped Cardigan, Philosopher's Wool Fair Isle (which I was knitting while still married to husband number 1 - more than eleven years ago - I WILL finish this!!!!), the Mission Falls Bloomfield Cardigan (also a long-time work in progress) and a Kristin Nicholas pattern for my daughter. I also am anxiously holding on to the Sunrise Circle Jacket pattern by Kate Gilbert from Interweave Knits. This sweater is too gorgeous and must be started and completed this year!! I'm going to have to scout around for some beautiful yarn - maybe even the Karabella that she recommends.

Anyhow - I digress. Better have that shower before they get back from the park.
