Alice In Wonderland...and Black Eyed Susans

Well...the sale really officially ended today (thanks, Kit!). One of the most successful sales to date. With people making sweaters instead of funfur scarves, the amount of yarn they need to get for a project is 10 times greater. Oh, exciting times for Knitters, if I dare say. The choices, the sweaters, the blogs, the needles...sigh. Today Priscilla came to see me after a year long absence and really got me at a good time. So much yarn went out the door in the last 5 days...I needed more, more, more! I bought tons of Hanne Falkenberg kits (my newest obsession). I have to call Swedish Yarns this week to set up the trunk show. They'll send me all the styles of sweaters for customers to see and try on! Yummy! Then, if I don't have the style in the color the customer wants, I can special order it for them...if you've never seen one of these sweaters in person, shwooo, miss'in out! They are so extraordinarily flattering on the human shape. Especially a shapely shape!



I want to make this Dacapo to wear with my new maternity (they are comfortable,ok?) Seven jeans...



I also bought Tilli Tomas, yarn with beads and crystals already attached...they also have the best priced silk on the market right now. She has come out with a recycled Sari silk as well that will take your breathe away!


How cute is Phoenix Bess? Last year, her mother (kind and sweet) and I were trying to figure out a way to get her Debbie Bliss Astrakan in large quantities for a sweater she was designing...but Kilos were all we could get from the Italian mill and they couldn't go that deep at the time. I'm sure now that wouldn't be a problem. Between Phoenix, and all the press she gets now, and her mom, who makes those cute animal print needles with the boa around them, they are crank'in!




I can hardly wait to get this stuff in, I'm not sure I'll be able to sleep! Anybody know a good accountant? Geez, those poor accountants, last thursday...tax day for businesses...slaving away in front of their computers...
