The Yarn Lounge
I know certain folks are interested in my take on the awesome Susan Stripling workshop I recently hosted. I am still working on a blog entry that will do justice to that event.
But, first things first....Three weeks ago I went to Richmond's Carytown, to visit The Yarn Lounge, my client Stewart's fab and funky knit shop. I love to knit, but I am a terrible knitter, so it was really fun for me to sit down and watch women who appeared to be knitting the Sistine Chapel. Meanwhile, I just finished knitting a scarf for a stuffed animal. (Yes, yes I did). For my nephew's Lizard, 'Lizardee'.
As the photos show, the shop is darling, and relaxing, and filled to the brim with amazing yarns in fantastic colors. I bought the softest alpaca and am going to make a shawl. Wish me luck : )
Stewart, thanks for sharing your shop with me! I would really like to move in, but I live too far away. And Stewart's dog, Homer. Seriously fancied him.
The Yarn Lounge has an award winning blog, featuring lots of lovely projects. Find it here.

Wow, I was there the day you were taking pictures at The Yarn Lounge. You were so discreet, I had no idea you were doing such a brilliant job of capturing the spirit of my favorite yarn store and hangout.

cheers,
eck
Cate, thanks for your kind words. I can be really sneaky : ) I fell in love with the Yarn Lounge and am going to try to talk Stewart into opening one in Norfolk : )...
Echard, I hardly shot at all at the seminar. I don't get much charge out of set up stuff, ya know? But, I learned a HUGE amount. And my brain is still a'spinnin' with all the fresh ideas. Susan was great. She was editing out stuff I would have been DELIGHTED to keep. I am ever impressed with her talent. I can't WAIT until wedding season starts.
Beautiful pics of one of my favorite places as well. I am particularly fond of the portrait of Homer (an old soul) and Melanie, you captured them beautifully.
Sorry I missed you there by a hair (or a fiber?). Good luck with the shawl and if you come back for more, give me a ring...

Mel! I can't believe we missed each other by a hair (and fiber-ha!). I can see why you love the Yarn Lounge. It feels like home. I will definitely be back and will give you a call.
