Not yarn or fiber related, but 100% another post that evinces the chaos that is us! Our two Isaac and Peru are having a sleepover this week and it is TERRIBLE and FANTASTIC at the same time. Isaac and I convinced to Peru’s mom to let us watch her new rescue while she was out of town. I forgot about puppies. Why are their teeth so sharp? When do they sleep? Why do they go outside to p*e and then come back in and p*e again? Why do senior dogs revert to zoomies all day when confronted with puppies? We are having a blast and you can come through on Friday to experience the chaos and joy in real life! will also be making an appeaarnce on Saturday to kick off Hot Purl Summer!

It’s a brand new (plant) day! If you’ve been in the shop you’ve seen the big basket o’plants that we have on the back wall. It was a gift we received 8 years ago now to welcome us to the LYS community. This month, the plants were looking a little tired of their home and were not thriving as they had been. We toted the basket to Benkens in a desperate bid to save them and they did not disappoint! What a gift to have smart, kind, thoughtful plant-heads right down the road!
