What a Day!!!!

So in starts like this - I walk into 3 Kittens this morning and look at the thermostat to see whether I should turn it up. It's set at 70 deg (Ugh - why can't people turn it down when they leave at night?). I get some coffee from the coffee shop down the way, then came back and take my coat off.

"Brrr! It's really chilly. I thought I checked that thermostat!"

So, I go check it again - and, lo and behold, the thermostat or the furnace or whatever isn't working! It's 10 deg outside (or less - I didn't really pay attention this a.m.), and there's no heat in part of the store!!! SIGH! So, I call my partner Julie, who has apparently already been dealing with this issue over the weekend, and she says she'll take care of it. (Thank you, Julie!)

I go to my computer to get going on my work. Turn on the screen, wiggle the mouse around - nothing! So I turn the computer off and try turning it on again. And I get THE BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH. That's right, no computer, kaput, zero, nada! I call our geek guy, and he says it's been really busy already this morning - something over the internet - and he'll be over in 3-4 hours!

Luckily, the heating system was repaired by noon (the poor furnace needed a new motor) and the computer guy from Uptech Partners arrived much earlier than expected (although he had to take my computer away until at least tomorrow). Plus, I got to spend some time knitting a swatch out of Karabella Breeze (60% silk, 40% cashmere) and help out in the very quiet store. And, I brought work home for this evening.

In the meantime, I did finish the left front of my Sunrise Circle jacket.

That sleeve looks really wide. I hope it's o.k. I've started on the right front, but since I didn't have all that much to do at the store today, I ended up bringing yarn home... My 9-year-old son has been begging me for a Fiber Trends Squirrel so I brought home Lite Lopi and Needful Yarns Temptation for that. And, he also wants some Felted Clog Slippers (also Fiber Trends) and that yarn found it's way in my bag too (this time Ella Rae Classic). Luckily neither of those projects will take very long.

I'm contemplating hosting a Knit Along for our store patrons sometime this Spring. Either the Einstein Jacket or maybe Sam the Ram. I wonder if we'll get any interest?
