We are enjoying a rare moment at my house, SILENCE.
The TV is off, no music, there is almost nothing but the odd little creak from the ceiling fan. Both dogs are passed out on various pieces of furniture in a manner that would imply they actually did some kind of work today, HA. And me? I'm listening to the orchestra in my yard of passing raindrops and a chorus of happy frogs. Or are they toads? I even, dare I say it, picked up the knitting and knit a few rows!
Closing the physical yarn shop has involved quite the roller-coaster of events and emotions. The shop has been filled with a steady stream of shoppers and well-wishers, and a few pouts too! It does make me feel loved when I see those pouts, people playfully expressing their unhappiness in my closing. But I tell them, it was a difficult decision that was not made lightly, and one that has a bright side - Maggie gets a little time!!
Of course I can see that I won't have any time for the next few weeks, there are just too many people to see and talk to, much yarn to find homes for, and never enough hours in the day for any of it!
And so I take this moment, brief as it may be, and I'm soaking it up as best I can!
Sigh. And there it goes...
The next few weeks will be filled with incredible amounts of chaos, but I am looking forward to the next chapter. I hope that the end of summer and fall will bring lots of great things to this blog and our website (which we are already working on improvements for). Up next? In depth reviews and discussions of the shop's yarns, knit-alongs, tutorials, patterns and original designs, and who knows!!
Happy Knitting,
Maggie
