Aww that is wonderful. I'll be in Memphis for a friend's wedding, but it is great to see that the Yarn Dolls are going strong.

I got this e-mail from the conway store, Thought I would share with you.

I have come to the decision that I need to close Bella Lana Knitting at the end of October. What knitting shop wouldn’t want to be in the same building with a bookstore that is run by a devoted knitter. To this end, I need to sell our inventory and move everything out as quickly as possible. Beginning Saturday October 13th at 11:00 all of our yarn, patterns, and books will be 50% off, (except for our new yarn= 30% off) and our needles will be 30% off.

Oh my goodness :( I got that email, but I wasn't able to open her attachment on my home computer. I know she has been running into a lot of hard luck lately. I hope everything will be ok.

I just got back from knitting for noggins at children's. It was fun! There was a good turnout and they received over

19,000 hats~ .. awesome. They had free snacks, pops, bottled water and cookies, crackers. All the news stations were there videotaping folks knitting... it was fun.~
I wish you guys could of been there~!

as far as bella lana.. I spoke to her today about it and she said the main cause was b/c her daughter is chronically ill and she is having more medical troubles right now. She told us today that she loves her store.. but "I am a mom first"
I just hate it though b/c our crochet group just met her last month and we had just made friends with her~!

I guess we will be visiting more yarn shops... there are links to all the ones in Arkansas on the Yarn dolls blogspot: I guess we will be visiting ( maybe) The Handworks Gallery next~

[Carla1019]

She didn't say why she was closing the store,, So sorry to hear about her Daughter. I am going to try to make it the the store Wednesday or Thursday.

ON a different note. It looks like I might be moving to Mississippi by the end of the school year. My DH got his dream job. DD and I are not to happy about moving. I have lived here since 1977.. This is home to me. It is the only house my kids know. My son is in his first year of College. and my DD is in the 9th grade. She is going to miss her Friends. It should be easier for her with MSN and texting.. and we will only be about 5 hours away. we can come back. My Mom and Dad live here also. My Mother is my best friend. that is going to be hard on me.

I have been trying to google a yarn shop but can't find one yet. I might have to ask "[FONT='Calibri','sans-serif']Braden"...."Formerly known as Contiknitter". He lives about 30 min away from where we are going to be moving to.[/font]
