My apologies

You have to forgive the absence -- I have been more on Facebook. But I have to post these great pix from VK Live we had such a great time. We arrived at the hotel around 11:00 am Sunday and went straight to the market place and we were greeted by a very lovely lady who admired my floating stitch mohair scarf, then once inside the excitement was buzzing everywhere. First thing we did was deliver the hats and we met Debbie McComber there. What a lovely person she is, so sweet and was very very excited to see all the baby hats we had (abt 50)

Also I have to mention the next floor up what an entrance! Loved the maniquines who ever thought of that must be super creative!!

Fashion Institute of Technology NYC

The Craft yarn council sponsored a course at FIT for Cert. Knitting Instructor and guess what I decided to attend it was 3 days long, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. It was so excelerating I met such nice ladies all with the love of knitting and crocheting. The best of all was the professor Ms Arnetta is such a great personality. Her joy of teaching and her immense experience was just bursting out loved it.

I hope one day to have Arnetta come to the shop and meet all our friends!!

How wonderful to feel the sun in your face. Finally it seems that spring wants to join us here in Norther New Jersey. In our shop little tulips have sprung up next to our new season yarns.
Tahkis, Filatura, Berroco, Noro, Schulana, Prism, plus others I just recall have come in. Already the new Prism ribbons have run out and we are awaiting a reorder. Everyone chose ribbons to knit the KAL thinking spring and well they should. Our KAL turn out was great despite the big snow flakes that were coming down. We are very appreciative to all of you who managed to drive in, it really was a scary drive home, so therefore thank you, thank you. Our KAL vest/jacket is coming along very nicely. Last night I saw quite a few of you well on your way.
Pictures, I love to take the pix and I have quite a few in my camara but I haven't had time to down load. I apologyze to those of you who are waiting for them, I promise it shall be done soon.

When I see and smell this wonderful spring sunshine my knitting and crocheting hands look for the feel of cottons well I am now crocheting a wonderfully easy cardi with FIlatura's new ribbon cotton Virgolino its sooo pretty the cardi has a very lacy effect and its all in one piece to the underarm.

Well I have to get to work now! Thankfully we have been busy with classes both in crochet and knit.
