Port Gamble



Went on a bit of a runaway, road trip today with Gina. We headed to Port Gamble and spent the morning having breakfast, strolling through the farmer's market and visiting my favorite shop there, The Artful Ewe. I love that place and all that is in the cozy shop. I feel very inspired when I am there and always buy yarn! I own a yarn shop but I do indulge there and buy yarn. Today it was the shop's very own hand dyed wool and some Irish cotton/linen yarn. You will have to stay tuned to this blog to see what I make!

Upcoming events include: FREE knitting advice, consultation and problem solving with Theresa on May 24th, June 14th and June 28th. These are Thursdays, from 1:00 to 3:00.

Yes, even beginning knitting is offered! Free! Can you just imagine! It is time to get going on a skill or project for lazy spring and summer afternoons.



Join us for some stress free knitting time, anytime. We have table and chairs, will fill with knitters or crocheters or fiber people or handwork crafters.... xo

This January

This January is bringing a renewed sense of energy for me as I begin new projects and finish old, as I rearrange the shop but treasure the old display pieces contained within and once again, find the simple joy of a few quiet moments to sit and knit. This is my almost finished wee baby bonnet! Knit of a fine german wool on a size three needle; it is one of my favorite go to patterns. Last night found me knitting in Safeway as I waited for a friend to grocery shop. I enjoyed a lovely hot chocolate, knitting and people watching. I have promised myself to not go anywhere without my knitting this year, even if it means I knit just a few stitches at a time. This is last year's " Car Project. " So named ( by me ) because it stays in my car ever at the ready to knit  whenever there is a moment or if I find myself in an unexpected visit say,  to the emergency room. Don't ask. Since I also task my knitting to be my de-stressor, I need to keep something always hand...

 Summer is really here with the temps expected to rise to the high 80's or low 90's next week. In my shops downtown, it makes for warm times as we are in that wonderful old 1889 building. No one wants to see me in shorts but I will be thinking of my one ago youth when short and halter tops were my go to summer wear.  These days, when I am not at the shop you will find me knitting in the sweet blue Amish made rocker on my front porch. I even hooked up a fan out there. It keeps the mosquitos away. I am a daydreamer the entire time I knit so I am having mini vacations on the porch.  Sorry this posting is so brief, but it is Sunday and I promised to work Diva so off I go. Today I am open from 12 - 3ish. Come say hello and see the new Cascade yarns that have arrived. Pictures next time. XO, Lois in summery Port Townsend.
