Let's get right to the point! BBQ Knit Nite is gonna be out-a-site this month. Literally, it will be in Rockdale & we will travel there by caravan. May 22nd is the day, so plan your calendar now. The store will close early at 3:00pm that Friday. Take the day/afternoon off & join us. Fun on the run & lambies to see! We have 15 seats available; seven are already taken! Fiber fun to the max! 3:00-6:30pm.
BBQ Knit Nite requires an RSVP. We will leave promply from the shop @ 3:15pm & return @ leave the farm @6:30pm. The shop will close @ three; so if you need to purchase or wander, come early. A small take-along project w/pattern will be included & introduced in the vehicles to make the 35 minute drive more fun. A picnic lunch will either be included or BBQ will happen; between 5-5:30 as usual. A rain date is part of the deal!

Veriyarn
Our newest color is Yellow/Golden!
We deeply appreciate your patience in waiting for the new colors; as they are selling pretty fast. As always, we welcome your contributions, tips, gripes & advice. We are featuring some new patterns as well as our new yar
n to go with them. Some of our tried & true oldies (but never moldies) look smashing too; we are having so much fun! These yarns are fun to make & help properly 'steward' the wonderful alternative products we have in a new & inspiring way, much of which we are happy to share. It has standardized a process already in use & given a predictability you can work with... Yes! Great yardage we might add... all for under $36 (regular suggested retail).

Employee of the Month
This month’s employee is Janelle! She came to us in September of '08. She adds a bit of spunk to our staff. She is a newer knitter & knit up the first Pscarf in our new line of yarns (Blue). She then added a red colorway for our customers to make up their own designs. Some of you may remember sitting in the Zen room as we pulled your red scarves together. We are still waiting for you to come in for pictures… We still have some yarn available for customers to create their own scarves.
Our first colorway in orange completely sold out & was created by Janelle. Above to the left, you see her second design, with only two (!) left & one is on hold. Janelle is part-time & you will find her here most Thursday afternoons for sure. She is currently working on a Lacy Waves Poncho in orange Saphira… Looking Good!
Customer Corner
If you missed her on the blog in April, here is Jeanne with her awesome "Crocheted Magnifique" afghan that she plans to give as a gift after she adds on a Scallop edging. We were able to convience her to bring it in after the edging was added for a "Snuggles" photo. :) 
Lynn's Cobblestone socks are soft & comfy! Cobblestone is a great dk wt yarn for socks & comes in 8 or 9 yummy colors. Oh yeah, it makes great washable sweaters too!
Robin's Scarf - way beautiful!
