Time Flies When You're Chronically Disorganized

The summer is whizzing by at the shop. I'll try and catch you all up on what's been happening. I was going to make one lo-o-ong entry, but I've decided to make an entry for each brilliant idea/activity/happening/new product arrival that has taken place here at the "Ends" since my last post. So here's the first installment.
On June 14, At Loose Ends was a host site for WWKIP Day (that's World Wide Knit In Public Day when, all over the world, knitters, crocheters and other "fibery" people get together to show the world what a great time knitters have when they gather together. That Saturday, 15 knitters and crocheters gathered in the yard at the shop for a fun day of knitting in the sunshine. Besides the regular crew from Perham, Dent, Detroit Lakes and Hawley, there were visitors from Ottertail, St. Paul, Alexandria and even South Dakota! We even made it onto the front page of the Perham Enterprise-Bulletin! Must have been a slow news day. :-) At Loose Ends provided coffee and water and a restroom. All you needed to bring was a project to work on and a chair. There were lots of snacks and treats to share, including a delicious pasta salad by Ruthie. We had a great time!
We'll do it again next year for sure! I'll be a little more organized and get the notice out to more of the area papers so we can see even more of you next year! I've got a pretty big yard here at the shop to accommodate a lot of fiber people. We could do Strut Your Stitches and show off our latest projects, have a service project that we could bring to donate to a charitable organization - Snuggles, Afghans for Afghans, Sheila's Shawls, the Teedy Bear Project just to name a few. We could even play a lawn game of some kind. Remind about all my great ideas next year, will ya?
See you at the shop.
