this is mister. he greeted us outside the yarn store, purl by the sea.
he was very sweet and friendly, and wanted to attend nora's re-opening party. i couldn't blame him. nora had some delicious sandwiches and cookies and irish soda bread.
she also had a myriad of gift baskets, bags and sweaters to raffle off. the store was very busy and she was behind the register all day attempting to input people's purchases, (attempting too . . i think nora and her computer are still working at being friends).
carla scott, editor in chief of knit simple and vogue, was there to give a demonstration of the new issues. she also had samples of the knitted garments. they were fun to try on! morgana and i fell in love with a lovely lace vest that will be coming out in the spring knit simple.
this is rosemary drysdale. she's the knitting editor at knit simple. she also just came out with a book on entrelac knitting which we purchased and had her sign. she and carla were both fun to talk with.
we won a sweater!
standing next to carla is her daughter patrice. i recognized patrice from some knit simple pattern pictures. she likes to knit also and is the same age as morgana.
oh, and we won a scarf. nana really liked it, so we left it with her.
morgana and chanda read out the raffle winners . .
i also won more black cat sock yarn, and two sock patterns.
nora and the girls.
one reason why i like nora's shop so much, is that she carries lamb's pride, plymouth, and rowan. it's a nice price range and offers something for everyone.
it was nice to see nora again. nora is the owner of our favorite yarn store. she'll be having a "new opening" party on march 19th which we hope we can attend . . but i have a feeling there will be some necessary rehearsals that will be difficult to miss. chanda bought three skeins of charcoal heather lamb's pride superwash in worsted for a sweater that she would like to make. i bought two skeins of rowan kidsilk haze for a shawl i plan to knit for the duncan fundraiser that is supposed to happen in april. korrina bought a skein of varigated yarn that she plans to use for a shawl. it was a fun visit!
