Crochet Kick

We’ve been on a crochet kick in the shop. Hilary, our fantastic crochet teacher and shop assistant, has been inspiring me to dive deeper into the hooker world.


I like to browse the What’s Hot Now section on Ravelry just to see what’s trending and to stay on top of all the lovely patterns you will want to create. Being on the crochet kick and working on my first toe up, two at a time knitted socks stumbling upon this pattern was just too cool.

It’s the Spiral Socks by Ooh I Love it! and it’s a free download on Ravelry.


I’m going to start this soon. Probably in Babe Cotton. I bet they will be super soft!

 

What’s coming up?

Join us to learn how to Crochet your First Hat class tomorrow from 12-2

I haven’t forgotten my knitters! If you are looking to learn how to knit tomorrow is our Learn to Knit Class starting at 4:00.

On the new shop space news I’ve met with the carpet installer and we have a date!!! Carpet will be going in THURSDAY! This means we can seriously look at a date for the Grand Re-Opening party. Woot woot! I’m just a tad bit excited.

Kill the UFO

In the midst of painting, moving, and organizing I’ve been working on upcoming classes and events. It’s hard! Being my own boss and running this business requires a lot of hats.I get super overwhelmed and just freeze up at times. These are the days where I just want to sit in the corner and knit. Realistically, what ends up happening is I start a new project and it becomes one more thing in the long list of things that must be finished.


Speaking of, you would never believe how many UFOs (unfinished objects) I found while organizing for the move. Sad, neglected, partially knit items that had high hopes of growing up to be something fantastic.

We must have a kill the UFO party. Use laser focus and get it done!

Hope you aren’t dragging too bad with the loss of an hour this weekend. I hate Daylight Savings. Doesn’t exactly help with laser focusing.

If you are actually looking for a new project we have a Granny Square Shrug class on Wednesday at 12:00. Bust out a cute spring shawl in just a few hours. Bring a size H crochet hook. Cost is $35 and includes instruction and yarn.

What do you do to stay focused and get stuff done?
