Lakeside
Yarn, formerly Coldwater Lakeside Yarn, formerly Coldwater Collaborative –
whew! It is, in fact, the same
shop in Excelsior that has participated in all seven hops since 2007, with only
a small identity crisis.
It’s taken us a little time to figure
out exactly who we are to you, our customers, and we hope you like our new
identity as Lakeside Yarn. In the
coming weeks, watch for a fresh new website design and storefront to go along
with our new logo at the top of this page. It is an exciting time for us, and we hope you will enjoy
getting to know us and spending time at the shop. You can read about how
Cynthia came to own Lakeside Yarn in the March, 2012 blog posts, if you missed it last year.
This year,
the Shop Hop welcomes 3 new shops to its lineup, offering even more breadth and
depth to the experience. What a
world class, creative and innovative fiber community we have all created
together with the support of our amazing customers!! We will be sharing with you some of our favorite places
we “yarn” – knit or crochet-- and
be looking for you to share yours.
For example, we all know
that knitters and crocheters are some of the most patient people—well, as long
as they have something to work on – when waiting for just
about anything. Any spare moment
is the opportunity for a few more rows, whether at the doctor’s office, the
baseball game, or a long traffic light.
Yes, I admit I knit at traffic lights, which reminds me of a story.
While waiting at a particularly long light near my kids’ school,
I knitted patiently, waiting for the green. The driver in the car next to me (obviously, a
non-believer), rolled down her window and motioned for me to open mine. When I did, she chastised me in no
uncertain terms: “PUT AWAY YOUR
KNITTING!!!” Dumbfounded, I
explained, “Well, it’s not lace, it’s only garter stitch.”
Thanks for
your continued support and enthusiasm and we’ll see you in April!
