I finally got around to a long overdue project - updating customer projects on our website. One of our frequent show-n-tell knitters, Anna-Lisa moved back to Canada nearly a year ago. Yes, I still have her project pictures sitting on my camera. She knit this sweater and hat for her daughter. You can see much of her work over on our project parade.

Audean has been bringing bunches of projects to share, including this wonderful coat. Whenever she comes in she is always telling me she isn’t a very experienced knitter….I beg to differ! She’s made an intricate cabled throw & cardigan, not to mention a tumbling blocks throw. Audean is a fabulous knitter and I’m thrilled to show off her work.

Hey Laura, if you’re listening - remember this? Yep, I even found a picture of your elephant on my camera.

Cambra brought in this baby set - all of this was knit with one skein of Tempted yarn. She had one of Jenny’s project bags with a mother/child print on the fabric. It was so perfect, it became part of the gift. Too sweet!

You can check out these and more customer projects at our Project Parade on the website. We have vowed to do a better job taking pictures. Keep in mind that I’m from the family that had two Christmases on the same roll of film one year, so remembering to take pictures is not my forte.

I also got around to updating the info on my fabulous group of employees. Logan and Jill have been gone for nearly a year now but I didn’t get around to taking them off because I just like them so darn much. Logan is off in Ithaca continuing his music education and Jill is working closer to home (she lives in Norman).

Kari wandered off to New Mexico for a bit, but came back last fall sporting a baby bump. Baby Kaylynn arrived back in January and is a real sweetie.

Catherine recently moved from Guthrie to Norman, and can now be found at our OKC store.

Anna is our newest addition to our team and helps me out at the Guthrie store. She is a talented seamstress, spinner, knitter, crocheter, tatter, weaver, quilter….the list goes on.

Find out more about all of our fabulous employees at Team SWAK. I am very fortunate to have such an amazing and talented group by my side.

Hope everyone has a fun & safe Fourth of July weekend. Remember the year Keith shot me with a firecracker? I’m hoping to get through the weekend without becoming another holiday statistic. Come and see us on Saturday, but don’t forget we’ll be closed on Sunday (as usual) and on Monday July 5.
