All's quiet

...on the blog, at least. If you've walked into the store this week, you'd know it's been anything but quiet here. But when it comes to blog-worthy stuff, we're... well, kind of boring right now. Sorry. I do have one thing to relate - Patrick came by for a visit on Tuesday (after I blogged, of course) and he was wearing his Modern Aran Sweater:

The pattern is from The Knitting Man(ual) by Kristin Spurkland; which, incidentally, Patrick was a model in. Anyway, his version of the sweater was made with four skeins of Joseph Galler Inca Cotton in the color "Desert". Very nice and very tweedy. He admitted to me that he still hadn't wove in all the ends. Ha.

Otherwise, not much has been happening (again, that's blog-worthy). Maybe next time. By then the May Sock Club kit will be public and I can at least blog about that. Happy a happy weekend!

About last night...

I've been asked ordered to tell all of our lovely Knit Purl blog readers about the dinner had with Jared last night:

From left to right: Sandy B., Kristin Spurkland, Jared Flood, Bing, Sara M. (moi), and Sandy Kay.

But I fear that were I to actually tell you what a truly excellent time we had... well, someone would take out a hit on half of us. Sooo... in all honestly, it was just awful. The food, the atmosphere, the company? Atrocious. You totally didn't want to be there.

Right.

Moving on to less volatile subjects (ha!), Jared's lecture is tonight and all the spots have sold out. I know for a fact that Lindsay just feels terrible having to tell people that, yes, there is a wait list but, no, we doubt anyone is going to cancel. But, hey, Jared's already agreed to come back and teach for us again this summer, so... maybe next time?

In news unrelated to Brooklyn or tweed, we just received a HUJE shipment of Habu. Wow. There're a whole bunch of Kusha Kusha scarf kits in this box that look really interesting. I might just have to try one. We also received some more Shippo Tail scarf kits (we've been back ordered for over three months), for those of you who have been fingering the shop sample and sighing tragically this past season.

Otherwise, have a great weekend!
