later than sooner, but here we are :)
Finally completed the shop update (a little later than sooner). As usual (typically, with boys in the house) there have been a few unpredicted events around here; the most notable being the teenager developing an inclusion cyst on the side of his face which had to be attended to. Thankfully, he is on the mend and it probably will not require surgery at this point in time.
I’ve also been trying to pretty up the gardens outside while the weather co-operates but we are still under frost warning for tonight. Hopefully the trend will soon give way to more springy temps which stick around. It’s been a roller-coaster ride lately.
A few new introductions:
A fingerless glove pattern - “Whither Mitts” and its companion yarn, “BFL Sport“:


As well, a few new things in spinning: Learn-to-spin-kits, Exotic Drop-Spindles and Fancy Batts.

Last but not least - sign ups for the Oceanwind Knits Fibre Club ‘09 are open! See all the details here. 6 options available. Shipments begin in July.

All of the newbies can be browsed in the ‘new’ section of the shop.
I’ve only got one skein remaining of the new ‘Seabreez‘ - the lace vultures lovers gobbled it up at the Frolic. There will be more as soon as I can get my hands on some new base yarn stock.

I’ve also managed some non-work knitting which I am keen to share - hopefully next time around. And, spinning, too.
Happy Spring!
