remember when the yarn harlot fell for the tank top i knit for the store?

well, she finished knitting it, and blogged about it yesterday, and she sort of, kind of, said nice things about my knitting, indirectly:

It’s a remarkably weird yarn for me to choose to knit with, not at all what I usually buy, and I would have walked right by it in WEBS, if there hadn’t happened to be a shop model hanging above the yarn. (There’s a lesson in there for shops.)

and, fancy-ist of all:

I enjoyed knitting with this yarn about as much as I enjoy knitting with cotton or linen or rayon at the best of times - which is really not much at all…The shop model of this was so beautiful though, that I though that I would suck it up for one garment, and I did, and I’m so glad I did.

she said the shop model was beautiful! awwww. :D thanks, stephanie.

oh, and in my last post about this topic, i predicted:

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

and i was right! we sold a ton of all of the colors of this yarn, both online and in the store. and, while the color my store sample was knit in (and the color stephanie used) wasn’t selling super well pre-may, we currently can’t keep it on the shelves.

i’ve finished a few projects recently. want to see?

a scarf to use as a sample for the store:

some yarn spun on my snail shell for selling:

a shrug for me:

and a few other things i still have to photograph.

oh, and i’ve started a new thing, too:

i’m going to wait and see how it turns out before i give you all the details on this one.

on another subject: project runway started up again tonight! love it.

(i need to hog the blog for a moment to send out a group letter to someone. i apologize. regular blogging will resume tomorrow-ish.)

dear bill:
we apologize for leaving you at the brewery tonight. but it was so hot and stuffy. and it smelled like feet. we couldn’t take it.

but we made an important discovery and fell in love. that’s right, we’ll say it, - we love PCT and think we should move the group there.

we had one of the best restaurant veggie burgers ever, there were grapes on the pizza and the wings were made of real chicken:

we chowed down:


and our waitress was super wonderful.

so, we are thinking we should go there again next tuesday.
everyone is welcome! look, there’s even a tv:

and a long table:

so what do you think?
pretty please, with s’mores on top?
