As many of you know my shop is closing at the end of the year. The Wool Tree, in South Lake Tahoe is also closing at the end of this year. Truckee has lost the bead shop, the quilt shop and now the yarn shop. This economy is killing the American dream of being a business owner and the folks who run the country don’t really seem to care. That’s why I chose to close sooner than later. I just don’t see any light at the end of the tunnel, at least not yet. We’ll get there eventually but I can’t afford to wait that unknown amount of time. This is truly sad. Many of my knitters are very upset. And I’m right there with them.

Bernard is very happy being at home with Lola and Rocky. He’s getting lots of exercise an having a wonderful time with my husband who goes in and out all day long. He’s still growing and beautiful!

I will update the blog and stories about Bernard and great Ravelry patterns and show off my DogEared Dyeworks line so you can check in and see what’s new. I will miss the shop very much but know that I have made the right decision.

I hope you all have wonderful holidays!! Bernard may show up here again before Christmas!

Kelly, Bernard, Rocky and Lola
