Happy Canada Day!
canadaday_yes

July 1st means that Canmore's fantastic Canada Day parade will swing into motion at noon...the downtown is pretty much shut down for the parade. But we will be open on Canada Day once the parade finishes (around 1PM). We'll also have a table set up on Main Street for the big sidewalk sale (also after the parade). Be sure to stop by and say hello, and pick up some fabulous yarn...sans GST!!!
New buttons
Here's just a teeny tiny sampling of the new buttons that arrived this week.

Also just in and waiting to be unpacked is The Alpaca Yarn Companys "Paca Peds" sock yarn, soooo soft and in an exquisite array of hand-dyed colours!

More Sock Innovation
Just opened my latest shipment of goodies, and guess what? We've got this back in stock:

CookieA_book

Yay! We've got five copies so if you'd like to reserve one, please call or email or drop by the shop to get your copy. Also new in the book department is "Knitting for HIm" - a great book with 27 patterns to knit for the guy in your life -- or if you are a guy -- for you!

Knitting4HIm
In the yarn department, enroute in the postal system as we speak are some new hand-dyed sock yarns from Schaefer Yarns, Pacapeds, and a restocking of Lorna's Laces (sock yarn plus Shepherd Worsted). I'll let you know when it all arrives!
