Yesterday I shifted yarn for five hours. That might sound arduous or maybe boring to some of you, but you would be wrong. I loved it. I loved the color, the feel, even the smell of all that yarn. It was the semi-annual yarn shift at My Sister's Yarn Shop in Uniontown, just off I-77, north of Canton. Yesterday was my first day of work there. I look forward to many more.
I was in the shop a few weeks ago telling Judi, the shop owner, how much I missed everything about working in a yarn shop, but most especially when all the new yarn and pattern books for the season arrive. "Well, would you like to come work for me?" Judi asked, to my surprise. "Yeah!" was the best reply I could come up with, so here I am. Judi is a hands-on shop owner, which means she actually knows how to knit and help her customers when they get stuck. Further, she works every day, and knows her customers' names and preferences. This is going to be different.
I will try to keep you posted, but, hey, I'm going to be working, so cut me some slack.

Well if that isn't nice, I don't know what is! Glad you're back in a yarn store, and a very nice one at that.
How exciting. I love My Sister's Yarn Shop. I'm sure you'll see me stopping in every now and then (or more!).
Looking forward to meeting you, Andrea!
