I know you are probably wondering where has Small Town Knit Guy been?
Why have his blog posts been so few and far between?
I am going to try to answer these questions and elaborate on the past 5 months over the next few blog posts. To start with here is a question for you:
Have you seen one of these?
Or one of these?
If you knit or crochet chances are you probably have. I have been "tangled up" in the latest scarf craze. On November 17, 2011, my wife and I took all our knit and crochet "wares" to the annual Bazaar at St. Thomas Episcopal Church in Ahoskie, NC.
Since then we have had non-stop orders for scarves, baby buntings, baby sweaters, and more. Our "on the side" business has made us enough money to attend a weekend Knitting Retreat and purchase the kind of yarn with which we like to knit things for ourselves. We have also started our own website:
Stitching for Ewe . We have been teaching regularly and I have not designed anything in months. (I still have several ideas in my head, I just have to get them down on paper.) There have also been several other things going on.
In November I coordinated the first ever South East Men's Knitting Retreat. I plan to write about those three wonderful days over the next week to let you all know what a wonderful time we had and to share pictures.
So between knitting orders for people, teaching, knitting very little for myself, and working my full time job, I almost forgot about this blog. I hope this will help me get back to my blogging.
Next week is Easter/Spring Break for those of us who chose to be teachers. I am hoping to get in a lot of knitting, blogging, and designing while I am resting and taking a week off. If you get some time off, I hope you enjoy it immensely and check out our new website above.
I'll return soon with an entry about the SEMKR (South East Men's Knitting Retreat).
Take some time to knit today.
