Today was Customer Appreciation Day at Yarn Theory. Yarn Theory is my LYS..the place that feeds my habit, the place I've met and made some lasting and incredible friendships..It was the place to be...today!!
There were some incredible bargains on yarn, some awesome door prizes..but...the knitting and spinning of 'yarns' among friends was just The Best.
Nikki came from Roanoke to shop and stayed a while to knit 
with us.. She left much too soon because she also won a door prize...a very nice knitting bag.

You are such a Babe...so is the Queen and Sock Sis! Looks like a good time was had by all!
Very cool book! I'm 'in line', the waiting list for the library copy....can't wait to hear what you have to say about it.
That's the really great thing about knitters... the passing it on thing that happens. :^)
I've never seen Koigu quite like that...do tell, is it fingering weight? colour? oh, they do numbers don't they, silly folks. Those skeins kind of remind me of the angel food cakes with the confetti baked in, ya know?
(always loved those as a kid)
What a great write up! I'm glad I came up to visit with y'all! (and winning a door prize doesn't hurt either!)
I'm so glad you like the book! As I told Linda, it yelled your names at me when I saw it online.
Saturday was fun and I do wish I could've stayed longer - - the boys would've committed mutiny though had I tried. (Evil crumbsnatchers). LOL
Very beautiful Dianne.It was a fun time by all need to do more of those. I just love making socks.On my third pair. My first pair lives in North Carolina.I am so glad that the sock SISTERS insisted I make them. I was a BIG Chicken.I love the yarns.
