The shop



As it is Valentines day this week, a treat was in order.  We had a great evening filled with laughter and red velvet hightop cupcakes with cream cheese icing centers....... YUM!

There is an awesome array of knitters, crocheters, spinners, and all around fabulous fiber folks who come to the knit night on Monday nights and knit day on Thursday days.  It makes every meeting that much more special!  

One of the more interesting facts about the Sit and Stitch groups currently running is that the majority of knitters who attend are not local.  It really warms the heart to know that something as simple as creating something with a bit of string can bring together so many.

With that said....... I LOVE what I do!  I love how it brings people together.  I love how we sometimes come to find how small our world really is.  I love when we have conversations at knit night about two people living in the same town in another state around the same time, but not meeting one another until they come to the little shop in Nicholasville.  I love how each of us are so different, but still the same!  I love my fiber peeps!  

If you are ever in my neck of the woods, aka Central Kentucky, please stop by the shop, A Tangled Yarn.  We would love to have you on Knit Night or Knit Day!

Fred is of great help assembling afghan squares.


He is also the Mack Daddy of fiber weights and is happy to help keep your fiber from floating away!

Spring Flings Open New Doors

Yes, the blog has been neglected.  That is not necesarily a bad thing either.  I needed a wee bit of time to think, reboot and let my little master plan fall into place.  You see, my town needed a little something.  Something fun.  Something new.  Something it didn't even know it needed.....   A yarn shop!

Life has been good, fantastic actually, in that it has blessed me with a wonderful family and support system.  I really do not know what I would do with out them:)  With out them, none of this would be possible and I really can not thank or love them enough!

I would like to welcome you to my new little shop.....  A Tangled Yarn.

View from behind the counter.


Our little gathering area.  Take a peek what is on the couch......

That would be Mr. Fred Cake Yarn-ball our resident shop kitty who inspects all incoming boxes.
Fred also keeps us in stitches as he checks out local knitter's stash....
And doubled checks that stitches are correct when we assemble afghans for  The Love Squares Project.........

Other Fun Facts..................

I taught myself to knit by watching a woman while on a flight from Scotland to the USA in 1996.

I taught myself how to spin yarn Feb 15th, 2007. I think I've done fairly well:)

'Lunabud' is a combination of two dogs' names I was loved by, Buddy and Luna:)
