Progress, not perfection

Thanks to Governor Hogan who has implemented Phase 2, allowing non-essential retail to re-open.  And so we are open.  But before we move fully into that, I want to say Thank you.  Thank you to you, my lovely knitters and crocheters.  Thank you for your online, Facebook, email, Instagram purchases of Quaranskeins, LYS Day kits, Albuquerque Sunset, drop-ship afghans, regular projects, yarn, needles, and more.  There are not enough ways to tell you how very much I appreciate you keeping Crazy for Ewe on your mind and in your hearts.  Thank you for being cheerful and patient and kind as I fumbled through my first videos, my first Facebook Lives, and my work in progress website.  Thank you for watching those videos, for joining the Facebook Group, and for supporting each other around a virtual table as you connect on line.  I have said it before, but Crazy for Ewe is truly a special community, not because of me, but because of you.  I have truly missed you, and am so happy to be re-opening.

We all know that even in Phase 2, it is not going to be the same as before, but it will still be good. The team has met to discuss the procedures we will put in place to ensure to keep everyone safe and healthy. You’ll notice more wiping of high-touch surfaces, more email receipts offered, and of course masks and hand sanitizer.  We have a huge space, and I don’t think there’s every been a time we were full to capacity, so limiting customers to just five or six at a time shouldn’t be a problem.  What we will all miss though, is the social knitting around the table.  While there’s plenty of room in the shop for you to come and browse, our large and welcoming table is still too small to provide safe social distancing, so our gatherings there will have to wait. 

Many of you have contacted me on Facebook or via email to say that you've hit a snag with your Crazy for Ewe project,  and you need a little help to get back on track.  I hear you, and let me assure you that we are absolutely here for you.  We want to continue to provide you with the kind of support you have always had from us, and  details of how we’ll be handling it are in the newsletter below

I look forward to seeing your beautiful masked face in the shop. You are always welcome here
