The Tinsmith’s Wife

Hi Spud & Chloë Friends,

I am so excited to bring to you our first featured shop! Without further ado the following is a note from the Tinsmith’s Wife yarn shop in Comfort, Texas, from owner Wendy Solberg:

The Tinsmith’s Wife loves Spud & Chloe.  Simple, huh?!  Well, we do.  Several of us have made frogs, cupcakes, and watermelon hats to get us started on the love of this new yarn.  Now we are into making more projects with this glorious yarn.  A featured project in the shop for September/October is the Mac & Me Outer Blanket (featured in the photo above).  This is a cozy and wonderfully fast knit (on 15′s) that is not only great looking but functional (aka washable).   Our teddy bear (and our shop cats) have taken a shine to this blanket!
Other projects on needles or just coming off?  Well – we have had Karen make a Lovey Dovey jumper for her granddaughter – and she creatively changed the hearts to an outline of a kitty, as Emma does love kitties.   The Flap Happy Hat has also been a draw; how can you not be drawn to those colors?!  What is next?!  Striped Socks with Fine….  Braided with Outer…  AND we are pretty excited about a Wallaby out of Sweater!
Happy Knitting!
Wendy

Thanks for the wonderful update, Wendy. The Tinsmith’s Wife is coming up on its one year anniversary in October. Congratulations. The shop sounds like a fantastic family affair with Wendy’s mom working as a buyer and shop manager. Wendy’s dad is also involved as he is an expert knitter. He is the go-to guy when a knitting question, pattern question or a knitting fix is needed. He has been helping to fix Wendy’s and her mom’s knitting for 40 years. I love that.

    Hello! Yes, we do carry this great pattern and are glad to ship out. We are not yet online, but a call is all that is required. It is such a treat to knit – and it goes fast on 15 needles. The pattern is a great faux cable, and with Spud & Chloe Outer the product is amazing!

    I have realized some important matters through your blog post post. One other subject I would like to convey is that there are many games on the market designed specially for toddler age young children. They include things like pattern acceptance, colors, animals, and patterns. These typically focus on familiarization rather than memorization. This helps to keep little ones occupied without feeling like they are learning. Thanks

    I discovered more interesting things on this fat reduction issue. One particular issue is a good nutrition is highly vital whenever dieting. An enormous reduction in bad foods, sugary ingredients, fried foods, sweet foods, pork, and white flour products may be necessary. Holding wastes parasites, and poisons may prevent ambitions for losing belly fat. While particular drugs momentarily solve the problem, the bad side effects usually are not worth it, and in addition they never supply more than a short-lived solution. It’s a known proven fact that 95% of dietary fads fail. Many thanks for sharing your thinking on this weblog.

All I hear is a bunch of whining about one thing that you might repair in the event you werent too busy looking for attention.

    Thanks for discussing your ideas with this blog. In addition, a myth regarding the financial institutions intentions while talking about property foreclosures is that the loan company will not take my repayments. There is a specific amount of time the bank requires payments from time to time. If you are far too deep inside hole, they will commonly call that you pay that payment in full. However, that doesn’t mean that they will have any sort of installments at all. When you and the bank can have the ability to work a little something out, the foreclosure method may end. However, should you continue to neglect payments underneath the new system, the property foreclosure process can just pick up from where it left off.
