End Of An Era

Goodbye to New Zealand Craft Products 

My LYS closed it's doors today. I was sad to see it go I did get a few last minute purchases in and I am disappointed I know will have to either travel 2 hours away or order online in order to get more yarn. I supported my LYS as much as I could unfortunately the few of us regulars buying from it weren't enough to keep it's doors from closing. If you have a LYS, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE support them! Don't let the small businesses get drowned out by the big corporations. 

I loved visiting my LYS, if it weren't for them I wouldn't have the love for the process of knitting I would today. I appreciate the wisdom and the kind words you have both given me over this past year. 

On a more positive note:

Today was Yarn Acquisition day, I can't wait until I get home to show you all my beautiful purchases. I have gone to two yarn stores and was blessed with a $10 voucher valid from tomorrow for three months. I plan on going back again tomorrow.

I don't get to treat myself often, as much as I'd like. I am looking forward to sharing photos of my acquisition and my soon to be new set up. (As well as wool I'd purchased some new shelving units for my wool).


Hope you are all having a good day/night and I will write again soon.
