Endings and Beginnings

 Today is the 27th of December, 2021 and in just a few more days this year goes away. Bye bye. I am choosing to look forward with optimism and hope for 2022. Hope that the pandemic is ending, hope that I can eat out on a restaurant and not fear getting sick, hope that I can hug people again, hope that we can gather to celebrate, rejoice in each other and in a few cases, mourn. 

I am writing this even as I try to figure out the brand new laptop my family gave me last Christmas. I keep it charged but this is only the third time I have had it opened and on. Hallelujah!

This extremely, unusually frozen, snow covered day has me stuck in the house. I am also stuck in the driveway. Don't get me wrong, I love snow but in the rush to wrap up Christmas business in my shop, we neglected to get out the snow shovel from the far back garden shed or purchase deicer. Oh, well. Sometimes nature says, take a break and I am responding whole heartedly to that nudge. 

I will get the bead shop open as soon as I can move about. Right now it is too icy with
snow covered ice at that, to even walk out to the studio. Hence, I was bored and decided to actually use this lap top. 

 Wishing you all a very happy, healthy, loving, joyful 2022. See you all soon whether it is in the shop or on line. Much love and gratitude to all of you for making my life exactly what I wanted it to be these last 30 years. Making things, selling things, spreading beauty and craftiness, encouragement and love to all of you while basking in the world of all things bead and yarn and fabric and... 

Chakra bells for harmony and peace. 

HAPPY to be HeRe!!

 Happy to be here! Truly! We are open, the shelves are full of new merchandise ( alpaca anyone? ) and ready to move onto new knitting and crochet projects! I will be writing more often on the shiny, nearly year old laptop I just took out of the box and I particularly want to introduce you to the Divas at the shop. 

Please watch the site as I fumble my way around this new fangled device and I will be posting more often. 

Be warm. Be safe and play fiber all the way! xo

Very Exciting!

 Hey there! It truly is summer and July's full moon has passed us by and we are settling into the hot days of August. Here in Port Townsend, We are longing for more sunny days while at the same time desperately wishing for rain. We are so dry. Must be why all I want to knit with right now is green! Definitely indulging my green fever and purchased new yarn for both the shop and me.

Here is the latest yarn I took home which is currently adorning my living room knitting basket.

It is Lana Grossa's SILKHAIR, an extremely color saturated mohair silk blend that is positively dreamy. Soft, rich, great texture and the colors? Stunning. It is 70% super kid mohair, 30% silk at 230 yards for $ 14.25.

I am happy to take pictures for you and even mail you this soft textural dream yarn! 

We are open Thursdays through Mondays from 11 - 5 but keep shorter hours on Sundays, 12 - 4ish.

Come see us and if you mention you read the blog... 20% off your silk hair order! Stop on in! 

BIG SALE!

 Just a quick little note that ADDI LACE Circular needles have been discontinued by the manufacturer. We have them marked down 40% off the retail price. These are great needles and currently we have almost all sizes and lengths in stock. Get them while supplies last. You can order by email at lois@wynwoods.com or better yet, call the shop at 360-385-4844 or 360-385-6131 ( my bead shop ) and we will take an order over the phone. If we are closed when you call, leave your name and phone and I will return your call pronto. Happy Knitting! 

June! Gloriously Pretty June!

 We are here and open limited hours for now. I am looking for sales help and hoping that everything is resolved in the near future. Moving along and grateful to be open in any capacity as the pandemic seems to be winding down with the availability of vaccines and the warmer weather. Soon, my knitting will be able to be out of doors on the porch, the beach or the plaza across the street from my shop. 

Yarns continue to arrive and needles are fully stocked as of last week. ADDI LACE needles have been discontinued by the manufacturer so please stop in and get your selection before they are gone. 

This month has treated us to some amazing weather and beautiful sky-scapes. The clouds have been impressive, the skies blu and even an early spent watching a rainbow through the sun and rain, made the month feel magical! 

Give us a call if we can help with your projects or if you need some me viewing time in the shop. XO, Lois
