Another year closes and before I put it fully behind me I’ll spend part of today looking through my journal, looking through past blog posts, my Ravelry project folder and listening to some nice jazz. One thing apparent is that I did accomplish my goal of 10 shawls in 2010. Here is the last one…
Today there was no towel in the front bathroom. I remembered seeing pale sage green linen yarn in the Closet Stash recently. (Closet Stash is not the main stash but those few yarns that I bought for no apparent reason. You know what I’m talking about right?) My mind whipped up in a frenzy of…

Last week we met a customer in downtown Tulsa to drop off an internet order. Normally we mail orders but this time we knew we’d be in Tulsa and thought it’d be nice to hand deliver the order. I know many people shudder at the thought of dealing with the sparse parking and the one-way…

We know many of our Lost City Knits customers are concentrating on others this month. Maybe you’re gift knitting or maybe you’re shopping like mad. But a new year begins in just over three weeks, and so does 11 Shawls in 2011 on Ravelry. We want you to be ready. We’re debuting two new colorways,…
