Show and Tell Friday...umm Saturday

Sorry I didn't get to post the show and tell items yesterday. I had a busy day...and then it slipped my mind. But without further ado, here are the items I have to show you this week.

Lisa wore her beautiful cardigan in recently. She had taken the yarn from a Cherry Tree Hill kit that was originally selected for a shawl pattern and made it into this gorgeous sweater. Nice job, Lisa.

And Marti came in wearing a ribwarmer vest that originally had been created by Elizabeth Zimmerman. This particular vest had some variations to it, but caused me to make the decision to go ahead and order some of EZ's ribwarmer patterns. They should be here in the next week or two. Marti also brought in the Entrelac Felted Purse that she created from Mimi's class. I like the colors she chose for her purse.

And last, but not least, Diane finished the Scrap Yarn Scarf she started from the Girls' Night Out Workshop that Lisa did last month. The blues and whites of this scarf remind me of a snowy day. It will be great for next winter...and hopefully, we'll get some snow to go with it.

I have to tell you of a comment that a little guy made while in the shop this week. He was looking at all of the yarns and said something like, "No wonder they call it Yarn Heaven." He obviously had misunderstood and thought that the shop's name was Yarn Heaven instead of The Yarn Haven. Even a little child understood about the beauty of yarn...and yes, it can feel a little like heaven standing here looking at all the beautiful yarns. How wonderful to live in such a time when there are so many options of fibers used in yarn!

Have you heard about the Earth Hour tonight?? Apparently, everyone around the globe is being asked to turn off their lights this evening from 8:00 - 9:00 pm. This is an effort to raise awareness about energy conservation. It will be interesting to see just how much energy is saved by doing this. Have a great evening!
