A Night at Knit Wicks.....

Dana from "Cat in My Lap"and I had a big night on the town Thursday.As you can see from this pics we are real party girls.Our first stop and our last stop for the night was Knit Wicks the cute little year shop down town Rogers, Ar. Dana is looking to buy a spinning wheel and I have one that I don't know how to use so we got some instructions and then tried our hands at spinning. I want to learn to spin so I can make some yern to hook with.

Now, this lady here is why our last stop was back at Knit Wicks.Dianna has been spinning for over 20 years and is very good at it.It was nice to see a pro at work.Dana and I had a great time and I think we both learned something.
All the spinning wheels shown are Ashford's and that is the kind I own.I just had to have a Ashford because that is my maiden name.

Live Deeply and go spin some wool.

A Night Out....

Last night Adam and I went to Rogers for a pipe club meeting he wanted to go to. The old downtown part of Rogers has made a great comeback.I have not been to all the shops yet but I spent last night in a very sweet little shop."Knit Wicks"is a great yarn shop and they stay open late on Thursday nights,till 10:00.Now I do not knit,but I love yarn and roving and Elizabeth Hamrin owner (seen below) had made a homey atmosphere to come and sit for a bit and knit,crochet or in my case hook.
Tuesday,March 17 from 10-10 KnitWick's is having a St.Patty's day sale..EVEYTHING is on SALE!!!! I am going and if you are close you should stop by.I am starting a new rug soon and I need yarn for it.

I forgot to ask the name of this lady. She is working on a Ashford spinning wheel.One of these days I am going to learn to spin.

These are the hands of David that looked right at home in the middle of all the yarn.

Cindy was crocheting a baby blanket.

Clarissa was kniting but I never asked her what see was working on.I sat on a big comfy couch and talked to her and Cindy.Very nice ladies.

Live Deeply and go buy some yarn.
