What's going down

If you've been wondering what is happening at the shop, well, we're closing. Sad days all around, and not an easy decision to make. Basically, the economy is not our friend and the stress of trying to make it a go, plus my family responsibilities is putting a cramp in my immunity system. I seem to actually be falling apart. I find little bits everywhere I go.


My sanity had already fled, so it was unaffected.


I wanted to thank all of the commandos, and all of the customers that didn't think of themselves thusly, but none the less were an integral part of making KnitWicks a inviting and warm place for knitters of all stripes to come and knit awhile. I have nothing but joyous memories of my time at Knitwicks, and my only regret is the generous and loving yarnies that will no longer be such a large part of my day. I will miss the questions, both easy and the real stumpers. I will miss the easy joy people had feeling up the yarns, I will miss the new knitters and the old.

Did I say old? I meant experienced. Wise. Expert. Ahem...

I will miss KnitWicks.

But fear not, I will be around, and knitting. The commandos will still meet, the when and where will be posted at this site. I have talked with Mary over at The Rabbit's Lair, and she said I could teach classes and such. I also would like to have a shop on Etsy. However, if I manage to get anything finished, parting with it may be difficult.

The plans I have are many, and most are fiber related. No big surprises there. I am in negotiations with my husband about going back to school. It is a very careful dance, but probably I will be going to NWACC in the fall.

In short, I will miss everyone, except for those that won't let me, and I will continue in my fiber journey, not straight, but in rather jerky movements with many stops and starts. Rather like I go through life.

I love you guys.
