i mentioned a while back that i have been doing some knitting for the store. well, here’s another project, completed and on display:

it is called “flow” from Norah Gaughan Collection #2. the texture doesn’t show up all that great in my photos, but you can see it better if you click on that link.

recently, stephanie pearl mcphee (aka “the yarn harlot“) visited the store to do a book signing and give a talk. approximately 1,000 people showed up in our little town, and in the store, to see her:

it was crazy. and fun.

well, that day, she apparently spotted my little “flow,” and went home with the yarn to make it. and it got a mention on her blog! click here and scroll down to number 4, it’s about halfway down the post. it’s so fun to have an indirect mention on such a huge knitting blog.

the store should probably stock up on that yarn, because what the harlot knits, the world knits.

they have silly socks to steal:

shoes to move:

(i’m not sure he understands why, after all of his hard work rearranging my shoes, they just end up where they started each time he comes in my room. he also doesn’t like it when tom’s shoes are in the tv room - they must be moved. shoe-keeping is never ending work.)

scenes from “bob the builder” come to life:

sombreros:

(ok, so this was actually at our friend’s party, but it still counts! we play with hats often. in this picture he has 3. count ‘em.)

boxes:

(there have also been sessions with pepsi, snapple, and boca meatless boxes.)

and, of course, the big cardboard tubes:

we sure do know how to keep a toddler entertained!
