Very much not a fan of over-head fluorescent lighting. That is being addressed. Fortunately there is a very nice South facing window = very good light in the afternoon.
Scared, exceedingly excited and a smidge overwhelmed (but totally in a good way, of course). That’s me, in a nutshell, this week. I signed a lease on a DYE STUDIO (sadly, the studio at my Dad’s workshop just wasn’t working out and was more than 20 miles from my house – this new studio is only four miles from home).
Do you know what this means? It means, of course, more yarn. But, also, slightly larger dye runs, several more bases, capability to do more yarn shows (which means I get to see all of you, face-to-face. How cool is that?!??!) and, well, the creative juices are about to over-flow I’m so excited!
This space will be 99.9% dedicated to being a dye studio. However, it’s in the works to have a “Sit N Knit” twice a month (I’m thinking Friday afternoon/ evenings – but that’s flexible. Maybe one Friday and/or one Monday or Saturday. But, twice a month for sure). And, most definitely, there will be an open-house. For those of you not in the area I’ll have a “virtual open-house” and for those that want to make the trek…. fantastic!!! I’ll get to see you in person and there will be sweet and savory treats, comfy chairs, coffee and drinks and yarn, always the yarn.
Definitely more news to come. But, If you’ll excuse me, I have a lot of yarn to move, a stove to have installed, walls to paint, and, well just get organized. I promise, I’ll document the entire process to share with all of you. After all, it’s because of you that I am able to do this – I can’t thank you enough…. just can’t.
In the meantime, here’s a few pics to keep you updated:

Sam and Elmer T checking out the new digs. They approve.

Bob, checking out the new plumbing.

Dad brought me a sink. Heaps of yarn that thing will hold!

Keep me away from the hex wrenches and tools. Not a good combo. Brother-In-Law #3 dropped by to fix my mistake(s). Thanks Dan.

Elmer T and a new obsession. I feel another restoration coming on.
