Welcome to sock-crazy. Why that name? Well, simply, I love knitting socks. Knitting, Golden Retrievers, cats, cooking, down-sizing, and travel will be addressed here. My yarn shop, Main Street Yarn, will be included but this is a personal blog. It is not a shop blog. Check the Main Street Yarn Facebook page for all that is new and wonderful.

Surprise in the Mail
My friend Libby Beiler who owns Mad About Ewes yarn shop in Lewisburg, PA sent me a present today! A thank you gift for helping her select some new sock yarns to sell in her shop. A few weeks ago I took a selection of my favorites to her shop for her to see, feel and compare. I felt like a "personal shopper" for a yarn shop. Libby has added Claudia Handpaints, Autumn House Farms, and several others to her selection. Very nice choices in colors, too. She was so appreciative she surprised me and sent me a sent of row markers she made. Lovely beads in nice mauves, beiges and there is even a cat's eye. This set fits needles sizes 0 to 5. She is also making them to fit larger needles. Definitely on my shopping list for this weekend's trip to Lewisburg. See them in my photo (very bad photo that does not at all do them justice) but really wanted to say "thanks" to Libby.

What a lovely thoughtful gift.
Thank you for Autumn House Farms name. Their yarn colors are gorgeous - I can't believe I have never seen their products before. I found lots to order on their web site.
