The Golden Fleece shop in Santa Cruz had a grand re-opening celebrating it's new ownership and invited Handwerks, the yarn company I do design work for, to do a trunk show. I came along to help. The day was soggy for the first weekend in June and we were wondering if anyone would show up. Boy were we surprised. The place was rockin'. A constant stream of people, some coming just for us! Well Laura -- and her yarn. I ended up with 2 skeins of silky wool in a new color Hummingbird, payment for 3 hours of "work". We were so busy I barely had time to shop but I met a fabulous designer, one of the Bellsisters, and bought her pattern which I started in the same weekend. Meet Joyette in-progress:
again in Handwerks silky wool, I swear it's fast becoming my favorite, color Sonoran Sunset.
I sold 3 of my own patterns as well. And you know what the shop has? A computer dedicated to downloading and printing patterns! We had a great time.
