And this will be the last month I am open before taking a 2 month long maternity/babymoon. I know I had promised to innundate the blog with lovely knit newborn goodness and everything, but carpal tunnel in both wrists has made it impossible to knit. Yes, I did start Liam’s baby vest and wound up the yarn for Nora’s, but sadly its sitting in my project pile screaming out at me to be loved. Once these babies are out and my wrists are better I do have plans for knits though, lots of knits!
In store news, we attended our first vendor’s night! I had alot of fun setting up the display and wish I had had a camera to take pictures of it. Hopefully there will be more festivals and fairs in our future filled with wonderful pictures. We have updated the store will wonderful Three Irish Girls Yarn and Fiber and will be listing more Yarn Love very soon. Thinking of trying for a baby, rumor has it that TIG and YL are spreading around baby dust. Not interested in babies? We also have gorgeous hand painted needles from Peace Fleece, Yarn Bowls from Rising Sun Earthworks, and spots open in all our fun Yarn and Fiber Clubs.
We also have been approved to start carrying Dream in Color yarns and Hitchhiker Spinning Wheels! These will both be available in October along with a few other exciting surprises. To celebrate I am running a contest here on my blog for a free skein of Dream in Color. You have 3 ways to win entries into this contest, each one you do will earn you an entry in the contest:
1. comment here on my blog with your favorite Dream in Color colorway
2. make a purchase from my store during the month of July

Ooh – Dream In Color eh? They have some fab colours and some great names like Spring Tickle – makes me smile!
My favourite colour way is In Vino Veritas and Butter Peeps! What? – I couldn’t possibly pick just one!
I think happy forest is my favorite color of their yarns. Enjoy the babymoon!!
I think my fave DIC color has to be Chinatown Apple, but there are several I love….Giant Peach, Petal Showers, and Flamingo Pie to name a few. Congrats on the babies and Happy Babymoon!
Hmmm… favorite colors are Strange Harvest and Gold Experience.
My favorite would be Tea Party. It seems like a very versatile colorway.
I really like Cloud Jungle.
Not a comment on DIC colorways, but I do love the new Pulling at Strings colorway by Bugsnugger! Did you announce those yarns going up on the site? I must have missed it if you did.
I did on my Facebook page
I love Pulling at Strings’ new signature colorway and cannot wait to see pictures of the shawl Diane knit from it!
I love Some Summer Sky! Chinatown Apple is great for a fall colorway. (It’s about 100 degrees here, why am I thinking fall?)
My favorite colorway is November Muse. Soooo pretty.
Congrats on upcoming baby!
Beach fog!
How can I choose? They’re all so pretty!! I guess Nightwatch and Pansy-Go-Lightly would top my list..
Dusky Aurora has a subtleness that grows on me!
love petal shower!!
I love the Beach Fog! Now I need to go check out this Bugsnugger colorway you’re all talking about.
I have a skein of Pansy Golightly in the Smooshy and I love it! And hey, does my blog post count since you linked to it here?
of course!
I have the Pulling at Strings colorway on 2 different yarn bases: gaia worsted and posh sport, and on 2 different fiber bases: superwash merino fiber and merino tencel
I love Dusky Aurora – Emerson has some shorties I knit form it
Ah, that explains it. I haven’t been on FB for two months.
I have 2 favourite colour ways…….
Beach Fog and Lunar Zazzle
Good luck with the babies and enjoy your time out with them.

I love Pansy Golightly! Such pretty purple….
It’s really hard to choose just one favourite, but I think Tea Party is really pretty.
My fav DIC color ways are Cocoa Kiss and Cinnamon Girl. Hard to have just one?
