Big news, little time.

Well, first the little time.  David has acquired a new gig that requires constant use of the computer whenever I am capable of putting a couple of coherent words together.  So that is part of the reason I have not been here as often as I want.  Another reason is that our computer has s-l-o-o-o-o-w-e-d down to the point of utter frustration.  I have just enough patience to check my email and that's about it.

And now the big news.  I am going to open a knitting store!  Yes indeedy, a knitting store here in New Paltz.  I am hoping to sign a lease tomorrow and start calling suppliers.  I am so excited I can't even say.  Buying yarn for a living and being surrounded by knitters and converting newbies!  Every time I mentioned my idea to somebody, it was met with enthusiasm and an "it's about time!"  So I have been a little preoccupied.  I don't even have a name.  I have a business mentor, though, who will supposedly help me with the name.  I hope she is a clever knitter!  But seriously, anyone have any good ideas?  Nothing twee, nothing silly.  I am going to make it a place where people can come and hang out for however long they want and knit.  The place I am hoping to get is right across from a bakery that is busy pretty much every day, all year round, and down the block from Starbucks and about a block and a half from another coffee place, so we're set for caffeine and pastry.  I do plan to bring some munchies in ala Knit Cafe, and have late night Pot Luck book clubs, Hike and Knits, just lots of stuff.  Lots of ideas, just no name.

So, my time with the computer is at an end.  Pictures and knitting news as soon as I can get on the computer when it's moving faster than a snail on crutches.

Maybe your computer is slow for another reason ... but mine has been doing that very same thing.

Until this afternoon when I got rid of all the cookies that had accumulated.

All the best with the new store,
