A Blog??? Me???

I am the new owner of a shop in Haymarket, VA called Needles in the Haymarket.  While trying to update our website, the web guru suggested that I set up a blog for various reasons.  My middle son thought this to be very amusing, as he already has a metal music blog, and I am known to be the MOST technologically inept human alive.  (Where are those letters and words when I'm playing "Scrabble"?) Anyway, here is my attempt at blogging (I'm sure Will Shakespeare is flipping in his grave over what the English language has become.....)

We just finished up with the End of Summer Sale at the shop.  Now it's time to bring out all the NEW FALL YARNS that have been hiding in the boxes for the last week.  I think everyone will be able to find a great new project to make.

Speaking of new yarns, I started a new shop model/Christmas present last evening.  It's a man's sweater, called "Men's Sailing Sweater" by Claudia Pacheco from the book Adventurous Zealana.  I'm using Zealana  Heron in Cloud Blue.  So far, I'm enjoying knitting with it.  When I tell customers we have yarn made with
New Zealand Possum, they think I'm a little crazy, however the NZ Possum looks nothing like the US opposum, and is very, very soft and warm. Will keep updating my sweater progress (as soon as I find my camera....)
