Seriously. We told the lovely folks at ROWAN that we would be gone beginning July 15 and somehow our message got scrambled to mean “PLEASE SHIP YOUR 14 BOXES OF FALL GOODIES ON JULY 15.” So after a frantic call from our fantastic staff alerting us to the ROWAN FORT that resided in the shop for the past 12 days, we arrived this morning to start the process of checking in, pricing, shelving, etc. It’s going to take us a few days and we are going to block the door so JAVIER THE UPS GUY can’t come in, but OMG!!!! Rowan has outdone themselves. And that includes NASHUA and RYC as well. As an enticement, check out the cover of ROWAN 44. Beautiful, eh?

Also in and awaiting our work, LANTERN MOON NEEDLES. And some TILLI TOMAS yarn. And some COLINETTE. But if we list everything, we won’t get it all ready for you! So we will keep you posted as the week goes on.

And what would a true vacation be without a terrific staff to keep things going at the shop? Many, many thanks to the best employees in the industry. We mean it. We never go away without stopping in other yarn stores, and we can tell you that our staff is second to none.
