Unpacking and repacking

Mr. UPS is bringing our order of Rockshelter Sock this afternoon. I can't wait to see the colours. My plan is to make a few different colourways of Find Your Fade kits for the Frolic.

Yarn Love is here and the colours are awesome. It's going to the Frolic and we will have another shipment coming in June. You can see all the colours on the website. If you are coming into the store it will be here on Thursday and then it will be packed for the show. You can order online through Friday evening.




It's just a few days until the Frolic. Here are a few tips for those coming to the show.

- trust me, there is lots of yarn. If you don't like lines or crowds, wait until noon to come. There will still be lots for you to see. If booths sell out of something, most are more than willing to ship it to you after the show
- bring lunch with you. Then you don't have to stand in line.
- The Science Centre is very close to the Frolic. You can send your family for an outing and it will let you shop for a while.
- wear something that you have knit. It's always fun to see completed projects.
- if you see something you like, mark down the booth you saw it in. I can't tell you how many times we get frantic people at the end of the day because they forgot where they saw something
- go through your Ravelry library and make notes of yarn that you are interested in. If there is a certain pattern, print that pattern and bring it with you. Also bring information on the yarn. What it's made of. Tension. Yardage. That will make it easier for me and other booths to help you substitute. When you come in the store I can do it on the computer but we have limited Internet access at the show.
- please have patience.
- the Frolic isn't just for knitters. It is put on by a knitting guild - hence the name. Crocheters please come to the show. There is lots of fabulous yarns that you and your hooks will have fun working with.
