Hey there. Much has been happening around here. I know it has been a long time since I blogged. Got caught up in what was going on Christmas, Thanksgiving ... New Years' and Inventory! Yuk! Inventory! Hate it! I love getting the new stuff in, but when it comes to counting it-ARRRGGGHHHHHHHHH I tried this year to put on the best sale ever and did. A lot of the stuff had NEVER been on sale before. Now I have room to put the new stuff on shelves! More is coming in...some yesterday.
I have a new calendar for January and am finishing up the one for February. More sewing classes, new knitting and crochet techniques and new ways of doing things.
Go to my facebook profile (Linda Sanders Barnett) and click on the Notes Tab. My new calendar is in there. Machine Basics and Pattern Reading, Twined Knitting, Pajama Pants the easy way, just to name a few. If you aren't in Facebook but are in my email list, check your email for the email. I sent it out on Sunday night.
Come in soon and check out the new stuff. Oh, and I have a new felting washer! We can do felting classes now! Not just the knitting or crochet part. How fun it is. Had to wait till I got hot water (got it Monday) so we could even use it.
Tonight is Knit Night. Come on out and have some fun.

Hopefully after we move, we can get some of the Southwest Trading Company yarns and some from Great Adirondak. Stay tuned for updates.
We are still in the early stages of the move. We hit a little bump yesterday, but it too shall pass. It's going to be a great place to be! I am making a new class list and will publish it soon. We are trying to get the classes where people can sign up, pay ahead for the class and actually hold the classes that were scheduled. There has been a rash of people not showing up or calling when they have a class scheduled. It makes it easier for me and if the class is not going to work out I can schedule someone else for another class. It's all good.
I really appreciate your support and well wishes. You are great customers and friends! Thank you!
If we get over this little bump in time, we will still have an Open House around the middle of September. Watch for updates.

Life in a yarn store
Hi all. I hope your day is going well. Mine is better than most! That is a good thing. It's been busy here most of the day until a little while ago. We got really busy and stayed that way until after lunch. That's the way I like it! Lots of sales, lots of customers, friends dropping by, etc...Keeps Mike and me talking and socializing.
This Thursday and next Thursday are Knit Nights. We decided to have 3 this month because there are 5 Thursdays. Usually there are only 4. Some of our friends will be out of town, but I hope the ones who are still here will come by and sit and knit/crochet with us. We will be talking about the Yarn Addicts knit/crochet club. I want to have that meeting on another night so that the ones who come for Knit Night won't feel like they have to belong. We will be doing charity work and making stuff for our favorite charities at this new club meeting. If any of you want to be a member, or just want to come to Knit Night, just let me know and your name will be on the list. We will have fun!
We just got another big shipment from Plymouth Yarn and there is some really pretty yarns in it. Come by and check us out! Also we got yarns from other companies. They are all beautiful and makes ya wanna pet the yarn!
I am taking suggestions on the kinds and types of classes you want to see me post and teach. I have ongoing learn to knit or crochet classes whenever you want to learn. It just makes it easier for folks who work different hours to be able to come and take classes. So...if you have suggestions, just let me hear them!
Now is the time to start making Christmas gifts. It is really NEVER too early to start. Be thinking of what you are planning to make and come on in and get your supplies and set up a class if you need help with the stuff!
If you have a club that wants to learn to knit/crochet, just let me know and we can set up a special classtime to do this. I have enough room in here to accomodate about 25 or 30 tightly packed students. Also, I have had quite a few people to request sewing classes! If there is a real interest in this, I can do that, too. I sewed for the public for about 30 or 40 years. I know that sounds strange, but there isn't anybody around here to do it. We need a fabric store here in Carrollton, don't we?!?!?!?
The short needles still have not come. I think somebody screwed up the order again and they have been sent to Timbuktu again. Oh, well, I guess they will come soon.
Watch the blog and email for the sale coming up. Anyone bringing in hats for the chemo and breast wellness centers will get 10% discount. If I happen to forget, just remind me and I will either give it to you that day (if you buy something) or I will give it to you on your next purchase. That's fair, isn't it?!
Ronda Cole brought her brother and his family into the store today. It was great finally getting to meet them. Her brother, Brad, was saying how much he liked the store and his wife, Sherrie, loves it, but Brad said it looks like I need to move to a bigger spot! Well, he's right. But I think I will just have to keep moving things around and make more room if only a smidgeon. Being close makes it more fun, I guess. H-mmmmmmm. I don't know where to put anything else. Help!!!! Come buy a bunch of stuff so I can have more room for the things coming. Hey! That would work! Ha!
Happy Birthday to my nephew, Ian! He's 13 today.
Talk to you again in a day or two.

Getting ready for the TNNA show
Hey there.
I am getting ready to take Lily's Pigtails to the TNNA show this weekend and Kollage Yarns is promoting it! It's exciting, but scary, too. All the yarn and embroidery shops go to this show to see all the new stuff that is coming out and possibly buy for the next season. I have never been before, so it will be a whole new experience for me.
Today I got in some new yarn from Universal Yarn. It is accompanied by a book using that yarn. It's the Garden Collection. BEAUTIFUL stuff.
Saturday is the World Wide Knit in Public Day, so hopefully we will have a lot of people sitting outside knitting and crocheting and having a ball. And I hope they come in and buy yarn and stuff while they are here! Ha!
Knit Night is tomorrow night, so we are gearing up for that. We have a lot of fun at these. People just sit and do their projects while talking and having a good time.
Well, gotta run and write out a pattern before I forget it! Talk to you soon. Lin
