Nature's Yarns

The "Grand Opening" of Nature's Yarns was a great success. Demos, fashion shows, food, and all that yarn! What a wonderful day! One should ALWAYS celebrate the opening of a new yarn shop - more creative inspirations....and more opportunities to purchase "the perfect yarn"! Here's Amy....ready to conquer the fiber world! Congratulations!






Lynn stocking and arranging yarns...the count-down to opening begins.







The "Spinning Nook" - Lynn's fabulous wheels and drop spindles - even a "dressed" flax wheel - gorgeous!






Tiffany looking a bit serious....only one minute to go! Now where should these shawls go?





A view towards the rear of the store - a nice comfy spot to relax, knit, and chat. And check out Georgia - she LOVES the camera!





Amy with Pamela, the first-ever customer of the store! This is definitely a picture we need to get framed!




A view towards the front of the store - lots of happy shoppers. Elizabeth is taking advantage of the comfy chairs to work on her hubby's sweater. This little nook was jammed with knitters throughout the day - knitting away, laying out potential purchases, and perusing the books and patterns.


And of course, everyone needed to keep their strength up...whether shopping or working - check out this fabulous spread! Gretchen's personal favorite was the chicken salad sandwiches....boy were they good!

Team Knitting with Sue.

And Georgia - front and center showing her knitting skills! She was so anxious to be part of the team knitting! What enthusiasm!




Cat is a fabulous teacher and has Amy spinning like a pro on the drop spindle.






Lynn tutored Amy and several others on the finer points of needle felting. On the far left, you can see Georgia's hand holding the needle felted "purple piggie" that Lynn had made. It's adorable!




And finally, we have the "cute picture of the day - "Cookie" with the hand knit sweater (made by "daddy" - Jim) and the rhinestone collar (made by "mommy" - Cheryl). Definitely a well-dressed and well-loved pet!
