Thursday Already?

The weeks are flying by! Sometimes I forget to blog when I get home... When I do forget, check the FB page for the Christmas pattern link.

I stopped at the little Brookshire's Grocery in Magnolia for salad stuff for dinner and my lunch tomorrow. There is a HUGE decorated Christmas tree just inside the doors! Even though I want to knit everything in a shade of red currently, I am not ready for Christmas decorations yet! They must be selling Christmas trees. We are knitting Christmas displays, decorations and gifts but we are not decorating the shop until after Thanksgiving! I like to experience Holidays one at a time! We will be decorating iPurl the weekend after Thanksgiving.

A dozen super large specialty knitting needles came in yesterday. They are for a specific yarn using a specific pattern. Sounds easy enough. The pattern, knit in-the-round, calls for a #35 32-inch circular. Joe and I measured the length of the needles that came in and they are 42 inches. Seems the circular needles are too long for the cast on for the pattern. How can that be? Calling the yarn rep first thing in the morning.

Hoping to get Comcast in early next week to install a cable jack at the knit table so we can start our Downton Abbey knitting groups. Comcast is running Seasons 1and 2 this month with Season 3 beginning in January. Everyone not familiar with the series can get caught up over the next couple of months. We will have one group during the week and another on the weekend. In December, we will also schedule Christmas Classic movies knit groups. What is your favorite Christmas movie? 😊 If your knit group wants to watch when you are in the shop, let us know!

A couple of weeks ago, AmREIT, owner of the strip center, called to say we had to have a water meter installed. They sent a couple of guys out last week. Today, AmREIT called again and said they are sending us the $700 bill for that water meter installation saying it's in the lease agreement that we are responsible for that! It's their building and we send the water payment to them but we have to install the meter? Big Sigh.......
