...but I digress, this blog post is not about musicals. Don't worry though, it's still exciting!
I know there are many of you who also read my sister's blog, but for those of you who don't, I'm really really really excited because (drum roll please...) she just recently opened up her own online yarn shop - Flocks of Yarn! I've had to be all hush-hush about it for the past nine months, but I can finally mention it here and talk about how excited I am for her.
and get this, per my request, she has included a function in which you can search the yarn in her shop by color (!). I will never buy the wrong color yarn again! Thanks, sis!
Really though, and I know I'm a bit biased, but you should all check out her shop. All of the yarn she carries is really nice, and I love her rewards program. I was hoping to be her first customer, but someone else beat me to it. Bummer.
Also exciting is that I finally sewed the zipper into my Brigade Pullover. Here's proof:
Don't worry, I plan to take real pictures tomorrow.
WOOT! Congratulations to her, she's living the dream! What a huge step, I wish her much good fortune and joy of it. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd heeey... look at the sexy man model pose! So moody, so aloof. I can hardly stand it. :P
Zipper!! I agree with RowsRed; that is a sexy man model pose.
ReplyDeleteI'm really excited for Clumsy and her new endeavor.
Woo Hoo! I am so excited and happy for her. And I love that shop by color feature! Talk about perfect for you. ;^)
ReplyDeleteWho's that pretty boy in that lovely sweater?

OMG Peter the zipper and sweater look AWESOME! SQUEEEEE! And I love that your sister has started a shop, I will have to buy something there really soon.
ReplyDeleteI'm not really worried, having seen this picture... I can't wait to see the "real" pictures.
ReplyDeleteLooks great, Peter!
Nice job on the zipper, Peter! The sweater looks great. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for the shout-out too! :D
What do you mean a "real picture"? Love the one you posted. Looks great. Congrats on winning the zipper fight.
ReplyDeleteThe Brigade looks great on you! and you would never know by looking that you had a struggle with the zipper. Nice job.
ReplyDeleteBrigade looks great! Is it as comfortable as it looks? Can't wait to check out your sister's shop.
ReplyDeleteBrigade does look awesome! I've suddenly become extremely jealous. Don't worry though, if you ever get bored of it, I'll accept it as a hand-me-down. Just keep that in mind.
ReplyDeleteWorking that model pose! It looks really, really nice. I told you you could get that zipper to bend to your will.
ReplyDeleteLooks real enough to me - what a great sweater!
ReplyDeleteThe cuteness! It kills me! Nice sweater, too. :-D
ReplyDeleteYay! The sweater is beautiful and it looks great on you! I knew you could conquer the zipper problem. It's exciting news about your sister's new online store. I just went there and registered as a customer and I will place an order for yarn soon. Her website looks great and I adore the name and logo.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations again to your sister!
ReplyDeleteThe sweater looks awesome! I have yet to install a zipper in anything knit, so I'm impressed!
That's a great sweater and very flattering too. Love it. Congrats to you and to your sister the best of luck in her exciting new endeavor.
ReplyDeleteThe sweater is, as always, fantastic!!
ReplyDeleteAlso, your sister's shop is lovely. I would spend much money if only I weren't on that pesky yarn diet...
that's intense peter.
ReplyDeletePeter,
ReplyDeleteThe sweater looks terrific!! Am delighted that you were able to conquer the challenges of sewing in a zipper, a feat I've yet to achieve.
Congratulations to your sister on her endeavor. That's very exciting news!
Congrats to your sister!!! What a wonderful way to start the new year! Now I can feel really good about spending money on yarn!!
