Well we had a nice party at the shop last night! For the last four years our customers and employees have knit bear sweaters and accessories for teddy bears to send the kids at Camp Erin. Camp Erin is a bereavement camp for kids that have lost a loved one in the last year. Each child receives a bear in costume and a quilt when they get to camp. It is a wonderful program and our customers go all out to make some really neat costumes for the bears. So the little party was to thank everyone who made a sweater or dress or costume! Jami gave out prizes to the maker of the best outfits and it turned into a real party. This little party also kicks of our customer trunk show! Every summer our customers get to display the things that they have knit with Knitting Bee yarns. There is a random drawing for a $100.00 gift certificate for those that bring in items to display. So needless to say there were lots of things happening at the shop last night! Congratulations to all the winners!!!
On another note Helen brought me some lavender Sachets that she made with the lavender from my front yard. Aren't they cute. We are going to put these on etsy also and see what happens!
And last but not least this is the last skein of yarn I dyed with black beans! I got three skeins out of 1 pound of black beans. I really love the shades of blue.
I am off to teach a kids knitting class now. More adventures tomorrow I hope!
Happy Knitting, Trish
