Shop visitors!

My aunt Christine and my cousin's wife, Emma, came to visit from Boston last week! They had never seen the shop and they loved it. Christine is a sometimes knitter and Emma is an avid crocheter and also a knitter. Here they are, Emma holding some Ella Rae Lace Merino trying to decide which color to get!:

Emma is from Sweden and her family still lives there. Her mom is going to open a yarn shop there at the end of November! Christine was taking lots of pictures to give her some ideas.
They wandered around the shop for a while and then we went next door to The Homefront Cafe for lunch. It was nice afternoon - Thanks to Christine and Emma for making the trip out here!

Last weekend was the end of the Drop Spindle Spinning class and here are the results:

2-ply yarn made on a drop spindle! The class loved the results. Very cool to make your own yarn. Another class will be scheduled in the spring if you are interested.
