A New Old LYS
I am now officially spoiled. Before, I envied those who lived mere steps from a nice friendly neighborhood LYS. Now I did live close to a shop which sold yarn, but the customer service there left much to be desired. (Remember the Seinfeld episode where they went to get soup? Enough said) If I wanted to go visit a yarn shop and just hang out for a while, I would have to travel anywhere from 20 - 45 minutes by either car or public transit. But lo and behold, the other day I noticed a thread on Ravelry about that nearby Yarn Shop having new management! It turns out that the "new" Passionknit is a super friendly place. And slowly but surely it is filling up with lovely yarns. ![]() As you can see, they are one delivery away from completing their Wall of Bliss! Word is that there will be a Monday night SnB starting some time this fall - and loads of classes too. I can hardly wait!! I have really got to start making some headway on stash reduction!

More yarn for you!
Woo hoo! Yay for new management!
How is there going to be stash *reduction* when a new yarn store moves into the neighbourhood?
Yeah, how's your stash reduction coming along? Mine has been a bit... slow ever since I discovered that there are 2 yarn stores within a 30 minute walk form our house.
That is such great news! That shop is too cute to suffer at the hands of such sourpusses.
BTW - glad you're back to blogging! Maybe I should follow your lead?
My closest LYS closed earlier this year. My favorite one is 1.3 miles from the office, and there's another great [new] one on the long-way-home from work. The one in the town where I used to live is owned by a woman we refer to as "She Who Must Not Be Named". She has never been rude to *me*, but she has been awful to several of my friends, so she hasn't gotten any of my business since I found out.
What is "stash reduction?" Shaving your upper lip? A guy named Stanislav on a diet? Please explain this exotic terminology.
Ah! I remember the old Passionknit far too well! Is it really much better? I'll have to visit next I'm in TO.
How's the shoulder?
