The web update should be coming any day now… once we sort out a couple of bumps along the road. When the switch happens, www.GrittyKnits.com will take you directly to my store, but you’ll still be able to get to my blog by clicking around. If you’d like to get a discount on some of my grand opening merchandise, be sure to sign up for my mailing list. I’ll be bribing you to buy from me with coupons and what not.

I managed to swing by the vendor area at DFW Fiber Fest today. Since this is my last April in Dallas, I figured I better check it out while I can. There was some good stuff there but not a lot I felt like buying, other than this awesome hand-carved crochet hook made by Dodo’s Designs:

There were many others in the shape of flowers & animals, but this one was my favorite.

I finished my first pair of wearable socks this month and have already started on another pair. (“Business Time” socks, inspired by Flight of the Conchords, which I am currently obsessed with.) I’ve never been much of a sock knitter but since they’re small enough to keep in my purse, I always have a project with me. I had no idea that I had been wasting so much free time not knitting; it only took me a week or two to complete the pair.

I am VERY excited that the Woolie Ewe will be hosting 3 full days of classes with Lucy Neatby May 6-8. I will be working those days, so hopefully when the organization and customer wrangling is done, I will be able to catch most or all of the teaching. I am also putting hot pink & purple streaks in my hair, and encouraging other attendees to do so as well. If you’re a Lucy fan and a Ravelry member, come join my Neatby Knitters group.
