I don't know about you, but I'm tired of "April showers" and am eagerly awaiting "May flowers" to appear, along with more sunshine. Happily, there are lots of colors in the shop to distract me and I have plenty of wool to wear to keep me warm. But come on, sunshine!

Earlier this month, I drove up to Seattle and attended a small wholesale show. I'm not sure my car knew what was going on when we went past downtown and headed north. In the almost five years I've owned my little Subaru, it's never gone on that long of a drive. But it performed quite well and got great gas mileage -- which is good since gas is so darned expensive these days -- and provided a nice smooth ride to the event. I missed out on the freak April snowstorm, though.

As a result of attending the show, I was able to get something very special from Malabrigo that's only available for ordering at a couple of wholesale shows this year. Read on for more info.

Saturday is LYS Day and we'll have some special items available all weekend. There are free patterns with purchase, special kits, and some new yarns. Details to follow!
