Tuesday Mornings with Mom

So, tuesdays mornings we'll be hanging out with the kids. If you're a stay-at-home mom (or don't mind kids) come on over from 10am until noonish... we'll be knitting and hanging with the kids!

needles and tofutsies!

lots of stuff arrived yesterday! YAY!!!! Needles from Hiya Hiya. these are fun and super smooth.

these cute little guys might just convert me to knitting with ciruculars. ok. likely not, but aren't they just CUTE?
all priced and hung on the wall. ran out of hook, had to find more. had to use different size... to much stock is awesome...

and then it hit me. i failed to buy any single point needles. Good Grief! what was i thinking.

then the tofutsies and other SWTC yarn arrived. ooooo yummy! i gotta take more pictures of it all on display! it is FUN!!!!

more pictures!!!!

our work area isn't as neat as it should be i guess. that part needs cleaning next!

brown sheep is near us, so we're stocking it! gorgeous yarn. and practically locally made.

that far wall is dk yarn... from Jagger. the most luscious stuff evah...

our wall of sample size (25 gram) skeins of lace weight! I want one of each...

candis, skeining up a bit of yarn!

a wall of JaggerSpun along with luscious silk roving! mmmmmm

Candis's fabulous skein winder that is making it so we can sell yarn that only comes on cones, can be sold in hanks. Jagger for example only comes on a cone, and is LOVELY yarn, but unavailable to the average knitter because you have to buy the stuff by the POUND!!!

a yarn store....

so, for those of you who have followed my saga, you know that i was a bit involved in opening a yarn store in Rapid City, a bit over a year ago. this was never my yarn store, and after a year it closed when Kim moved on to the "next step" in her life.

Now, a friend and i, have decide WE will open a yarn store that is the yarn store we want to own. So, we're busily putting together shelving and planning and labeling yarn...

the store is called C. R. Yarn (candis and rita) and is in the gap in Rapid City, right next to the Rooster (a sporting good supply store). the building is nice, the light is lovely, the view is attractive...
