Countdown to Fiber-In (4 days)

Guess what's this Friday...? If you guessed the Florida Fiber-in - you'd be right. Are you going? We are!

Why should you go?

Besides the reasons we've already mentioned... you should go because we've overheard a lot of our customers are going-- and if you've ever met our regulars, our "Silk Hankies", if you will; you know that they are almost more fun than the law should allow. So you might be thinking "pshaw; Fiber-In is no Rhinebeck"... but we promise you that if you're hanging out with the Gainesville crowd, you'll have as much fun as it's possible to cram into a weekend without getting arrested!

Also, I see in looking at the vendor page that Picasso's Moon and Uncommon Threads are both going to be there. Not to lessen the oompf of anyone on the vendor's page that we aren't mentioning in this post, but we've been to both of those shops and love them equally. We trust that they will wow you with beautiful yarns and fibers and with the great attitudes of the folks behind those shops. If you love us, but have never met them-- trust us. You'll love them, too!

Countdown to Fiber-In (14 days)

It's only two weeks until the Florida Fiber-in - are you going? We are!

Why should you go?

Well, among the other reasons we've already listed, you should go if you want any of our line of sock yarns - just like our fiber, 100% of the Perhaps Today is a Good Day to Dye sock yarns are going to be at the Florida Fiber-in. So if you want to pick any up that weekend - including the Hogtown colorway - you'll have to pick it up there!

Countdown to Fiber-In (19 days)

It's just about three weeks until the Florida Fiber-in - are you going? We are!

Why should you go?

Well, among the other reasons we've already listed, you should go if you want to see any of our fiber or play with our wheels -- seriously! I don't know if you remember last year, but this is just the same; 100% of our fiber and all of our wheels are going to Fiber-In for the weekend. All of it! There will be absolutely no fiber on the shelves of our store the weekend of September 19/20... so if you have a hankering for fiber that weekend... go to Fiber-In!

Countdown to Fiber-In (23 days)

It's just a little under a month until the Florida Fiber-in - are you going? We are!

Why should you go? Over the next month, we'll give you good reasons (just in case you haven't already booked your rooms, rented a car, etc, like SOME of us)... and here is reason #2:

If you are on Ravelry, you can check out their group; and then try to tell us that these people don't sound like a lot of fun! You know you want to spend the weekend with such an amazing group of spinning, knitting, and crocheting instigators. YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO!

Countdown to Fiber-In (32 days)

It's just a little over a month until the Florida Fiber-in - are you going? We are!
