Addi Turbos Rock My World

Tuesday, December 16th, 2008

So I got all busy during my 2 days off and didn’t actually have a chance to post new items for the sale.  Which means I’ll have to add three things today!
However I did manage to clean my livingroom, decorate my Christmas Tree (I so wish there was room to put up a tree in [...]

what’s a holiday without chocolate?

Sunday, December 14th, 2008

I’m still knitting that toque for Dad.  I finished it last night, but it was too shallow.  So I frogged most of it and have been working on it today when I haven’t been playing in Ravelry or helping lovely customers brave enough to venture out into the snowy coldness.
I’ll have it done tonight, but [...]

So I’m knitting my Dad a toque

Friday, December 12th, 2008

I’m fairly certain my Dad has no idea this blog even exists, blogging’s really not his thing.  So I feel pretty secure in posting about his new, in progress Christmas present here
I’m making him a lovely cabled toque I found the pattern for on Ravelry so far it’s just this much

So I guess I’ll start with the Sale.
If you haven’t already heard here at Twist of Fate it seems that it’s way more important to get great deals before Christmas, when you still need to finish making your last minute gifts, or [...]

It’s been awhile I know

Tuesday, August 5th, 2008

I keep thinking of all the things I want to write in the blog, but I just haven’t seemed to manage it.
I’ve been very busy lately dyeing silk and silk blends.  I’ve added about 30 skeins of hand dyed lace yarn in silk blends, silk and camel, silk and yak, silk and angora, silk and [...]

It’s Official

Tuesday, July 15th, 2008

That’s right today is my first real, honest to goodness day open for business with regular hours and everything! I flew out to Calgary Sunday morning after the opening, then home this morning so I’m too tired to write much that’s very clever but I do have lots of pictures.

If you stopped by for [...]

Tomorrow’s the Big Day

Saturday, July 12th, 2008

So everything seems to be pretty much in order for the big opening tomorrow. All the boxes are unpacked and put away on shelves and other pretty display racks, the opening day specials are printed up, as are sheets of upcoming classes. I only have about 20 skeins to finish lableing and a [...]

Home From Olds Fibre Week

Saturday, July 5th, 2008

So I’m home after yet another fabulous year at Olds Fibre Week.
For the first time in awhile I actually made the time to get in a class this year and took the supported spindle workshop with Caroline Sommerfeld.  As always Caroline is a genius, and an amazing teacher.  I came away not only with a [...]
