It's Summer time and I'm so excited! I
love summer. Blue sky, sun, warmer temperatures,
easier dressing, long days, iced tea/iced coffee's - YOU
KNOW I'M FROM THE LAND OF COFFEE :-)
Seriously, it's a great time of year, with family reunions, vacations and all that summer brings with it.
I have a new "Projects" page up and it's called: Anything Goes. I started off with a few bags, but send in anything.....baby stuff, socks, tank tops, whatever you're working on - we all want to see.
Check out my new spotlight - Mission Street Arts & Fibers in Ketchikan Alaska. Alaska, truly is God's country. If you have never been, I recommend going; it is truly a sight to see. The wildlife, the people, the glaciers OOOH!
If you are taking a trip this summer one county over or across the country - please use our clickable map to locate yarn shops where you will be traveling to. Remember when your shop pops up, you can click on map and there's a place to enter a starting address. It's so nice when you aren't familiar with the area to get good directions. LOVE IT!
In closing, I want to wish everyone a glorious 4th of July - Happy Birthday America!
Fondly,
Mary*

Stitch 'N' Pitch If anyone asks, it's difficult, but not impossible,
to juggle beer and yarn. Just ask any of the knitters in
attendance at Friday night's Stitch 'n' Pitch at the Washington
National's new ballpark. Knitters and other crafters from
across the District and from Maryland and Virginia poured
into the Outfield Gallery, spanning five sections along
the left field line, to watch our home team take on the
Texas Rangers in interleague play.
