Sweatshop Cat: Uncle Cecil

Comment

Many people often ask if we have help in unwinding our sweaters.  It is a lot of work to prepare and unwind the sweaters into yarn, so much so that we affectionately call our workspace the “sweatshop.”  We do, however, have an assistant whom on occasion will grace us with his presence.  Mainly, to just check up on us, but every once in a while, to contribute to our workday.  And by contribute, I mean get in our way and tangle our yarn.

I present to you our shop cat, Uncle Cecil.

Needless to say, we don’t mind the company, even if his “help” is sometimes wanting.  Indeed, he has proven to be somewhat of an inspiration of sorts.  People also ask if Yarn Harvest has any knitting or crocheting patterns available.  We’ve been working on a couple patterns, which will be included in our upcoming Knitting Starter Kits.  All I can say is that Uncle Cecil has proven invaluable regarding one of our patterns.

As for an update on the Knitting Starter Kits, we’re working on the instructions at the moment.  We’re hoping to have the instructions finished over the next couple of weeks, so that we can get our printer working on them soon.

Your hoping the Spring is treating you well writer,

Greg
