The movie will be retaining the Inn's name. This is really great for the Yankee Pedlar. There's been lots of activity, I understand that there was some filming at Michele's Gourmet as well.<br />
I was fortunate to meet Ms. Kelly McGillis, one of the actors on this movie. Apparently she is a knitte, as it seems a lot of actors are lately. I think that she enjoyed her shopping experience here at In Sheep's Clothing.Gingerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11397132597555161875noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23383226.post-88645084021552958162010-04-29T19:00:00.002-04:002010-04-30T20:47:03.227-04:00WARP FACTORS Fiber Arts Show<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0ZQyvYan0jWVZ6T-GVOCKBn-dMMkt70Hr4XIAtKyDO3QlYNXWRL_W0aWuouvZ8tnhFhGQFAXYv7aSXxr1FsTlHVwuVuRZYVdxZqmV5MANO4m_2gT5Vw9f_ey_HPZMLg8ZHifo/s1600/CIMG6252.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0ZQyvYan0jWVZ6T-GVOCKBn-dMMkt70Hr4XIAtKyDO3QlYNXWRL_W0aWuouvZ8tnhFhGQFAXYv7aSXxr1FsTlHVwuVuRZYVdxZqmV5MANO4m_2gT5Vw9f_ey_HPZMLg8ZHifo/s320/CIMG6252.JPG" tt="true" width="298" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2tkr2dH4LzTjGcxqDCZrCbVzX14YMaZmmWbR-AwpSKLnnW1fLGOVCQ4S2fcLIx-xLqpd3l3auUKSi4Qx3eAX_IbQ90gGEWrOZLwNH1Gl9R2XM0pCLoOUCVaqfN0MRinjYLtY1/s1600/CIMG6248.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2tkr2dH4LzTjGcxqDCZrCbVzX14YMaZmmWbR-AwpSKLnnW1fLGOVCQ4S2fcLIx-xLqpd3l3auUKSi4Qx3eAX_IbQ90gGEWrOZLwNH1Gl9R2XM0pCLoOUCVaqfN0MRinjYLtY1/s320/CIMG6248.JPG" tt="true" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2hrfnl5I5S0gLU0qpyiI_KI1y4fGn12tsRYAahkoo4LAo8Cm-7e01H7CGLF98hOCaouDP_RtRiI5iSKNG5d-GQ_WK0tNYPimFMiMtj4BI7hSykUL5XMD5fDuvFi0IrgupKQl1/s1600/CIMG6249.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2hrfnl5I5S0gLU0qpyiI_KI1y4fGn12tsRYAahkoo4LAo8Cm-7e01H7CGLF98hOCaouDP_RtRiI5iSKNG5d-GQ_WK0tNYPimFMiMtj4BI7hSykUL5XMD5fDuvFi0IrgupKQl1/s320/CIMG6249.JPG" tt="true" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1rROgxGaNIQ2SpJ4JKt8zXGSqbu-RY3wrDLBOICHtpj-SeM78ZGWMTwsAFi_W69KJuuP18169d8rXsGGxuCfDw3ySVL4KoFwLbSS5Oz49_vSoESaRckUyREWYrUxi-Dcz5O2-/s1600/CIMG6261.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1rROgxGaNIQ2SpJ4JKt8zXGSqbu-RY3wrDLBOICHtpj-SeM78ZGWMTwsAFi_W69KJuuP18169d8rXsGGxuCfDw3ySVL4KoFwLbSS5Oz49_vSoESaRckUyREWYrUxi-Dcz5O2-/s320/CIMG6261.jpg" tt="true" /></a></div>Gingerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11397132597555161875noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23383226.post-88022788883191081872010-04-14T14:44:00.000-04:002010-04-14T14:44:19.902-04:00In Sheep's Clothing at the Torrington Home and Business Show<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKaW-UxdfpFrgO4YdQQC21VdTc3r5r2MHh6GQOy98uKuleU7-PLozYHQhRutBP0D2uF_I-qeHlh_mI3L2xmBZ_T5K1QTLlt9QM8i8xdhVgivn8QqK-vLTRwWAJswgzILZLpML_/s1600/Home+Show+2011+050+(2).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="267" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKaW-UxdfpFrgO4YdQQC21VdTc3r5r2MHh6GQOy98uKuleU7-PLozYHQhRutBP0D2uF_I-qeHlh_mI3L2xmBZ_T5K1QTLlt9QM8i8xdhVgivn8QqK-vLTRwWAJswgzILZLpML_/s400/Home+Show+2011+050+(2).jpg" width="400" wt="true" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Picture curtesy of Chamber of Commerce Satff Photographer</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I knew it three years ago when Ashford came out with their Knitter's Loom. Very smart I thought, to get in on the scarf craze, and snap up all those new knitters, and excited experienced knitters. The weaving wave is is up and let's hope it keeps on going for a long while. With time and energy in such short supply these days, but the desire to find creativity and beauty in our lives, how perfect is the much overlooked rigid heddle. You only have to look at </span><a href="http://www.ravelry.com/"><span style="font-family:arial;">www.ravelry.com</span></a><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"> to see how the rigid heddle group has taken off. The Ashford rigid heddle looms of all sizes and models are walking out of my shop, with their new owners so excited about a new creative outlet for themselves as well as another way to eat away at their yarn stashes. I love the fact that I'm recruiting new weavers one, sometimes, two at a time.</span>Gingerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11397132597555161875noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23383226.post-22572267247762237872008-08-07T17:07:00.002-04:002008-08-07T17:18:11.786-04:00Fabulous Berocco DesignsI can't get enough of the new fall designs from Berocco. Absolutely gorgeous! The yarns are really yummy as well. I love Peruvia, such nice rich colours. And who doesn't love the Ultra Alpaca line. I can't remember a fall season when there were so many designs, especially sweaters that I wanted to make.Gingerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11397132597555161875noreply@blogger.com0
