Starting the Week with Photos

It's starting to feel like the shop is getting it's "look" and coming together now. This is definitely the fun part for me. Joe stopped by this afternoon and loaded up most of his tools and empty boxes that had accumulated last week. This Saturday, we are planning to make our last run to Ikea and Harwin (for awhile, we hope). There is a short list.

We are focusing on crochet as well as knitting at iPurl. Crochet hooks will be in stock alongside knitting needles and crochet cotton will be on the shelves. Cindy will be working Friday and Saturdays; she is an expert crocheter.

Sock yarn will also be a specialty since its a favorite of the shopkeeper who likes variety. It's not just for socks anymore! You can find a pattern to knit anything in sock yarn. There are many absolutely beautiful ones now and some that are just fun!

Wifi is available so bring you laptop, notebook, iPad and/or iPhone for quick access to Ravelry, FaceBook or your favorite craft blog.

Today, work started in the chocolate shop going in next door. Just think, chocolate for a neighbor! MediFast on the other side - so convenient! (I would so LOVE to have Starbucks very very very close)

The Knitting Table

open any time for anyone wanting to knit/crochet with others. If you are wanting to "up" your skills a bit or have a question about a project you are working on; this is the place to be! The only requisite is to be nice, of course!

(there are two more chairs - a blue one and an orange one - we still need two more though)

Things are starting to come together around the little hutch that will be filled with Araucania's Huasco

That is Babette on the left and the little girl knitting is in her place.

An example of my handiwork in Senso - the Japanese crocheted motif that was "everywhere" last Summer - on a table in a sitting area. (a sure sign that Senso will be available in the shop)

Babette found a ruffling scarf!

And the knit goes on...
