An Introduction...

“Now, let us all take a deep breath and forge on into the future; knitting at the ready.” -Elisabeth Zimmermann

This is the time of year when everyone seems to experience change. The weather is changing, people start doing new activities, and we finally seem to have the energy to devote to making new decisions.

One such change is a new “I” and “me” behind the first person contributing to this blog. My name is Thomas, and I am literally brand new to The Yarn Club.

 

I moved to the area less than 3 weeks ago from Georgia, and of course one of the first things any good knitter must do when moving is locate the best Local Yarn Shop. One step inside The Yarn Club, and I knew I would fit right in. I can already tell that Andrea and I have extremely similar tastes in knits and yarns, and her yarn inventory drew me in with many of my old favorites, plus some new yarns that I can't wait to knit (Dragonfly anyone?). I'm in serious need of new knitting inspiration, and now I feel like putting up a diving board and performing some sort of triple forward pike dive into the yarns.

I'll be hanging around the shop as well, and I look forward to getting to know everyone. I am a walking knitting encyclopedia, so I really enjoy answering technical questions about knitting.

I will also be leading a new addition to The Yarn Club: Men's Knitting night, on the first Monday night of each month – starting Monday, May 6^th.

Hi,

Andrea, here.  It's been a very long time since I have blogged.  Thomas is helping me out with this and other fun changes around the Club.  Watch our website for new Featured Patterns, Featured Yarn and a host of new ideas.  WELCOME, Thomas.  We are so glad to have you and all that knitting knowledge.
