New Crazy Girl in Cedar Falls!

Hi everyone! I'm Bel. I'm new at the Cedar Falls Store and I'll be hosting the 20/30's knitting night on Friday nights. I am super excited to be working at Crazy Girl. I can think of few places I'd rather spend my time than the yarn shop so to be there and get paid is AWESOME!

Um, a little about me. I'm 27 and a mom to two girls aged 2 and 4. I live in Waverly right now and hope to move to CF later in the year. I have lived in all kinds of places though. If we have any British expats frequenting the shop, I spent almost half of my life in the Midlands and London!

I've been knitting for 3 years and crocheting for 4. I do so every night and I like to think I've gotten pretty good! There's not a lot that stumps me. I don't claim to know all there is to know, but I hope to be able to help and maybe some of you can teach me too!

World Wide Knit in Public Day a success...

Well, no one was arrested for public exposure of yarn and much fun was had. Though we do this now and then in Cedar Falls, so I suppose the folks are getting used to seeing us. This one happened to fall on the Cedar Falls sidewalk sale day so there were a lot of people walking by - yes, there were skickers but mostly curiosity and a whole lot of jealousy.

We also knit outside at the Eagle City Winery open house yesterday. Today I'm fixing my knitting but it was fun - great band, lots of sampling and snacks. Thanks Carolyn!

We are thinking of planning another outside Knit for Sturgis Falls weekend in Cedar Falls- let us know if you want to join in.

Road Trip Hits Road Block...news at 11

Unfortunately, we only got 15 people to sign up for the road trip which was not enough to come close to covering the cost of the bus. So, for now, we have to cancel the road trip. But lots of people said they would like to do it in the fall. Based on that, I'm planning to try it again in September. Remember though, Saturday is still World Wide Knit in Public Day and we are still having an HUGE SALE. So come down, knit with us, have some fun, and get some awesome yarn at bargain prices!
