At 8:01am on November 16, 2009, KnitWhich? said…: I don't carry much in the way of Patons, Bernat or Lion Brand, since they are readily available at the chain stores like Michaels, Hobby Lobby and AC Moore. I do order them if my customers want them and don't want to make the trip to the big stores. I carry Universal, Plymouth, Classic Elite, Berocco, Brown Sheep, and others. I just ordered a bit of Louisa Harding as well. I'm also trying to get some Noro in, as a lot of customers have asked for it. I think the rep is coming this week, and if the initial order isn't too steep, I may get some. But then I have the problem of where to put it??!

I hope you're doing well.

Unfortunately, the kids live in NY, and I'm in SC. I only get to see them once or twice a year. I wish they lived here so I could see them all the time.

I'm doing pretty well. I'm back in the shop full time, and the PT said I could start using a cane around the house. Pretty soon I'll be able to drive myself.

Best wishes for a good week.
