Shifting

Alex finished the Shift. It looks amazing and I really think that she should give it to me 😀
This cowl is the perfect all-the-time accessory! And the answer for all of those knitters out there who love to knit shawls, but have a hard time styling them. A fun and engaging knit with shifting colors, that looks like an asymmetrical triangle shawl, and it only takes a fiddle-free second to throw it on as the finish to every outfit!
We have some interesting colour combinations in the store and we will be putting more together tomorrow afternoon when the shipment arrives.
Here is Nightshift hanging outside in the natural light. I did not knit many rows last night before going to bed. Survivor is on tonight so that will give me at least an hour of knitting.

Alex fringed the Nicole Cowl for me. We used two skeins of Manos Serpentina.

Mr. and Ms. UPS visited today with boxes from Namaste.



The Crossbody Bag and Knitter's Tote look amazing.




We received a shipment of pompoms today. Large and small.
One skein of ASAP and one pompom make a great hat. We used the pattern for The Big Hat (free on Ravelry).
Last night at dinner I got the full story on Siegfried and Roy from my dad. Beth gave the same story but I wasn't buying it until dad confirmed. They saw the show 29 years ago. Back then you had to wait in line to get tickets. No Internet. No phone orders. No purchasing in advance. Dad was there at 7am and waited hours for the tickets to go on sale. The show had just started when the stage failed and they announced that everyone could get tickets to another show - go line up outside at the box office. Angela is an accomplished lawyer and was not waiting in line again. She grabbed Beth and they went to the front of the line to talk to a manager. That is how they ended up with front row seats to the show.
