Webster's says (and yes, I had to put my reading glasses on to read that teeny tiny paperback dictionary print) that "linger" means "to remain long or be reluctant to go". We like it when you linger at The Loopy Ewe! (You'll linger even longer pretty soon, when our ... http://www.theloopyewe.com/sheri/2008/05/where-do-you-like-to-linger This is my Q1-08 project, and I have a whole new respect for lace knitters. It's just a scarf. Knit horizontally, 360-some stitches, 50-some rows. I love the Peppermint Mocha Silk that I used. But lace knitting just seems to take me forEVER. I liked the pattern ... http://www.theloopyewe.com/sheri/2008/05/scarves-on-the-needles Today I wanted to introduce you to one of my favorite etsy shops - GudonyaToo. Many of you have received their fun Loopy Bath Kiss in a recent Sock Club (or "Don't Be Blue") kit. Some of you tried to eat it because it smelled and looked so good! I ... http://www.theloopyewe.com/sheri/2008/05/gudonyatoo-in-the-loopy-limelight For one brief moment last week (about the time everyone was jetting in for The Spring Fling) our weather seemed to have gone from winter (flurries the weekend before) to summer (hot hot hot and humid) in one week. Now we're back in the cool temperatures, but we have ... http://www.theloopyewe.com/sheri/2008/05/tulips-and-daisies One of the fun things that we did at the Fling was to have everyone sign a 6 ft. tall Sock Blocker for Loopy Central. (I did get some funny looks as I was carrying this big "sock" through the hotel. Some guy accused me of being a ... http://www.theloopyewe.com/sheri/2008/04/goody-bags-and-april-contest Wow - what a fun weekend we had with all of the Spring Flingers! The best part for me was getting to meet so many of the people that we have come to know and love over the past 18 months at The Loopy Ewe. What a fun ... http://www.theloopyewe.com/sheri/2008/04/the-fling-has-flung A quick blog post today, as we're all scurrying around doing Sneak Up orders and getting ready for the Spring Fling. It occurred to me that the Flingers will all get to see Loopy Central in person, and some of you non-Flingers might want a tour. (I know we've ... http://www.theloopyewe.com/sheri/2008/04/things-are-busy-here-today If you're a Wendy Knits reader, or a Loopy Legends Collector, you're already heard about the elusive L-B! Well guess what? Loopy tracked her down and interviewed her for this week's Limelight! She has a soft spot for animals of all kinds, so it's no wonder that Loopy ... http://www.theloopyewe.com/sheri/2008/04/l-b-in-the-loopy-limelight Here is the total damage done at Loopy Ewe Central by the earthquake at 4:36 a.m. We found a needle that had slipped from it's package on a peg, and was laying on the floor. Yikes. Think this is a matter for the insurance agency? We're ... http://www.theloopyewe.com/sheri/2008/04/movin-and-shakin-or-not It's time for the 2nd Quarter Loopy Ewe Challenge! Last year, our second quarter was all about knitting for someone else, and this year we're doing something similar. Melissa has been talking about knitting socks for those dealing with illnesses and cancer, and how comforting it is to ... http://www.theloopyewe.com/sheri/2008/04/q2-08-its-all-about-someone-else
