Wooly Bully Yarn Co

Farmers’ Almanac predicted it. - as did my tenant Ken… and my right knee….

a BIG snowstorm a’coming!

and here it is!

My car may be stuck down here for quite some time. My driveway goes over a creek and uphill a pretty long way right onto the street. - where the snow is piled up from the snowplow. Yes, I have a snowblower of my own, but I must admit I enjoy these quiet days of naps and movies and oh, yes, knitting. I am working on cat beds to put into the igloos I have built for them on the front deck! they seem happy to stay outside and poke their little heads out when I offer them food. Kia brought me a little gift yesterday afternoon - proudly placed it into the food dish and and strutted around in circles. poor birdie…. so I tossed it into the woods and praised her for her hunting prowess… glad it wasn’t a bunny!

So the shop —- Meg is also snowed in, Cindy is vacationing in the Florida Keys (didn’t she pick a great time??) and Joy is homebound as well. The plan is that Joy WILL OPEN the shop on Friday by noon — and I hope to get there as well - with help. 

Maybe we’ll see you there as well! you must check out our “secret stash” of half-price yarns and books.  ….and the classes that are coming — here they are:

Darlene’s continuing hooded baby sweater class will continue next Wednesday….

Joy Harvey will continue with the Great American Afghan Squares on Friday, February 6 @ 5:45pm

Sarah Tyrchniewicz will teach a class on Bella’ Mittens from the movie Twilight Saturday, February14th @ 1;00pm.

Denise Shepherd will teach a Crocheted Sock Saturday, February 21 @ 10:30am

Vikki White will teach  a Toe-Up “sock-in-a-day” class on February 21 from 1-4pm

Donna Maupin will teach a Lace Shawl (the Petra Shawl, I think it’s called — ) the first weekend in March.

Think warm thoughts!  The spring line of Mirasol yarns is on its’ way - and new needle holders from Namaste! 

See you when the weather clears! ~Beth
