Online Shop, Field Trip, Ingrid Michaelson

Hello LYS Friends!

We now have an online shop! yayyyy! The webshop is is now full of classes, Lamb's Pride, and Shibui sock yarn. If you need something special not listed in the online shop, just send me an e-mail @ lancasteryarnshop@gmail.com and I'll do my best to make you a custom listing to buy. That's not the only news to report, we had an LYS field trip last week!

On May 3rd, LYS owner, Wendy, took Katie + Jeanie + I to the Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival. We all had a fabulous time, such an inspirational trip.

We came home with lots of goodies including autographs from the Ravelry.com staff!

and we were all tickled pink to meet Amy of Knitty.com!

Even despite all of the rain, we couldn't have asked for a more fiber enchanted day! We all went home with soggy feet and happy hearts.

We're not the only ones with knitting on the brain, Wendy recently discovered Ingrid Michaelson on a PBS show. One of her songs "The Hat" apart of her "Boys + Girls" album, is a beautiful song with some knitting references. She doesn't openly offer this song for free, but you can catch a glimpse of it at around 2:30 in this adorable interview (below). And please, go ahead and buy her music, she's so worth it!

Well I hope you all have a wonderful day. Knit, Knit, Knit!
Love,
Rachel-Marie + the LYS Staff
