Visit fibre space™ this Sunday for sweet treats and “blushing” punch in honor of Valentine’s Day. We are open from 11 am – 5 pm and will be serving up treats all day, so whether you have a sweetie or not, stop on by and squeeze some yarn. It’s the next best thing to love!

1. People walking around in large quantities of snow tend to be nicer then usual to one another. They can be seen waving and greeting complete strangers. Does walking in the middle of the street bond people?

2. Old Town has a large number of residents who believe that a baby stroller is perfectly acceptable in a foot of snow.

3. If we were selling hamburgers, we would be really busy right now. Five Guys is closed and this has upset a great deal of meat loving people.

4. Trucks with plows might benefit us more if they would put the plow down while driving down the street.

5. The horse at Hard Times needs a hat and some legwarmers

5. It is still snowing.

WEbstore fixed!

Since my webstore is broken and I am ready to scream, I thought it would be a good time to distract ourselves with some amusing photographs.

This is King street about an hour ago. The street is a solid sheet of ice covered with about two inches of snow. It has been plowed but not recently.

Our neighbors at Pacers are open, in case you need some running shoes urgently.

Vermillion closed early last night. Here was their reason:

and here is the store when Veronica got here at 10 am to shovel:

A bit more about my club:

Each month will feature enough yarn for a project and will be paired with either a pattern or pattern suggestions. Some of our months even feature a new and exclusive pattern from amazing designers. The projects vary from scarves and cowls to mitts, shawls, socks and more. Some packages include luxury fibres while others include hand dyers & exclusive colors or unique small companies. While I have already selected (and in some cases, received) the yarns and “goodies,” I won’t be giving out any hints beyond the first month! I can promise that each month will be themed around some of my favorite things or places. I will feature other hip local businesses and their products as well.

There are two options for delivery: store pick up or shipment. If you would prefer shipment, your package will be mailed 2 days prior to the opening of store pickup. Shipping is through the US Postal Service, priority mail and is $30 for six shipments.

To register:

Sign up online here. or call the store: 703-664-0344. *The webstore issue has been resolved

Full prepayment is required. Cost is $275.

The fine print:

There are no refunds or cancellations for the club. Each themed month will value at or above $50 in yarn, notions and / or goodies.  Packages will be shipped by the 15th of each month. You may change your shipping address at any time. We regret we can not ship internationally at this time. Those who have selected store pick up will be permitted to pick up in the shop two days after the shipments have been made. You will receive an email to indicate that the club has been shipped and what date the store pickup is available. If you intend to give this as a gift, please be sure to indicate the recipient’s name and address in the checkout process. The club is limited to 50 participants.

Veronica and I are headed to happy hour at Vermillion to sample that Silver Bell cocktail that I featured this month on our blog. But, since we are just across the street, if you headed out already or are in desperate need of anything, just come get me

Otherwise, we will see you in the morning at 11 am.
