Happy Mother's Day Weekend

We were busy, busy, busy.  And by we, I mean the knitshop. 

Friday morning started at 6 a.m. with the KTVI Fox 2 Morning show broadcasting from Knitorious.  Really.   Tim Ezel is a local TV personality, and to publicize our upcoming Stitch 'n Pitch he did one of his segments from the shop.  They cut to him 5 times during the 7 o'clock hour and he learned to knit, chatted up the St. Louis shop owners who came to be on the show, and shared an hilarious knitting montage wherein he went all over St. Louis and tried knitting while doing various activities.  We offered a 30% discount to any customer who came and knit for the whole hour to be on the show.  There were plenty.  It was a blast. 

Tim did actually learn to knit in that hour and the funniest bit of the whole morning occurred off camera.  After his guys packed up all the equipment and said their goodbyes, one called to Tim that they were ready to go.  He answered, "Hang on a sec.  I've got to finish this row..."  He's hooked.

Saturday, we were the first stop on the St. Louis Ravelry Mother's Day Yarn Crawl.  about 30 Ravelers stopped in at 9 a.m. to drink coffee, eat bagels, get acquainted and buy yarn.  A big thanks to MB and Heather for organizing, and to lyso Sandy for giving them all a discount! 

Here are a few pics.  I think there will be names if you hover...

Aren't the buttons cute?  Heather made them.  I didn't get to complete the crawl as I had to work 'til 5, but pictures of the haul are in the St. Louis Knitter's and Crocheter's group on you know where. 

Gotta go get hair done, but I'll be back with more later.
