Big news

My local yarn shop moved locations. I helped on Sunday and Monday early morning to get it ready to open on Monday at 10am. The Purple Iris Yarn shop got in a new yarn called Link from Berroco. I'm making a sample for the shop as well as making a new pattern for it since there is only one pattern I know of for it. I'll be sure to post the pattern up  for all you wonderful people. In further big news Anime Nebraskon is creeping up on us. In two months I'll be selling my crafts in Nebraska. I hope to see some of you there. Until next time...


Peace, Love  and Happy Crafting.
