More LYS Day

I’m going to start by thanking Lynn and Alex. Lynn worked Monday, yesterday and today. She will be back tomorrow and Saturday. Alex was in today and will be working the next two days. They straightened and filled shelves, made kits, cleaned, swept, unpacked orders and packed mail orders. Alex also sewed in ends on my Traveler Cowl as well as on my Alpine Bloom. I haven’t been able to sew them in and want to wear Alpine Bloom on Saturday. We wouldn’t be able to host LYS Day if it wasn’t for them.

Knitting Fever (our supplier for Juniper Moon, Noro and Lykke) is holding a LYS Day Draw.

• Purchase $50 or more of yarn and/or needles from Juniper Moon, Noro and Lykke on Saturday April 27th and Sunday April 28th
• Send a copy of your receipt (purchases made online or in the store) to SocialMedia@knittingfever.com before May 5th
• They will draw one name for every 20 entries they receive

Emma’s sent QR codes with pattern suggests for the LYS Day kits.

Here is the link to Ravelry for patterns requiring two skeins of fingering weight yarn (just in case the QR code is acting up on you)

Here is a link to patterns using one skein of fingering weight and one skein of mohair.

The Silky + Mohair kits are online now.

Emma’s mom (Laura Dobratz) owns a yarn shop in Florida and designed this cowl. 

“Love Your LYS” cowl pattern by Laura Dobratz would look sooo perfect in our “Love My Local Yarn Shop” colorway with any of the suggested coordinating colors! 

If you purchase 2 skeins of Practically Perfect Halves this Saturday or Sunday and we will give you a download code to get the pattern free on Ravelry.

Here is a link to the yarn on our website. The LYS Day colour will go live Saturday morning.

Keep checking the LYS Day page on the website for additions.

Dad Update

There was some progress today. Beth went down this morning and he was up walking. He was speaking more and was understanding questions a bit better than yesterday. He knew that the Leafs lost and the score so that is a huge positive. I went this afternoon and he was fast asleep. When he woke up he wasn’t as ‘awake’ as this morning but he was better than when I visited yesterday. Beth is on her way home from another visit. Dad was good. Not as good as this morning but better than last night. We have to keep telling ourselves that this will take time and any improvement is amazing. We also have to remember that he gets tired easily and needs lots of sleep. Mornings will probably be his best time for a while.

Now it’s time to say goodnight. We didn’t watch much TV last night because we were so tired. I was awake early and in the store before 9am. It’s almost bedtime.
