Thanksgiving/Holiday Sale

Submitted by Pauline on Mon, 11/19/2012 - 21:03

I apologize for the long silence. D#1 did compete in the National Karate Tournament this July. She lost by one point in the first round & was eliminated. It's a great learning experience.

Just want to thank everyone for your support & to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. I updated some modules to the website & subsequently some functions are broken.

All items are 25% off and the sale will go on till Dec 31, 2012. Please email me at whirlexpo@gmail.com and let me know what you want. I'll send out an adjusted invoice. Items totaling less than 15 oz will be shipped first class.

Have a great Thanksgiving & safe travels.

Pauline

ETA - I posted pictures of hand knitted ruffle scarves on Pinterest

Just a shot post to let everyone know that the sale is still going on. I've raised 17% of the fund needed to take my daughters for their karate competition.
Thank you for your support.

Sneak Peek - Handspun yarn from personal stash

Submitted by Pauline on Mon, 05/28/2012 - 15:03

Here's a sneak peek of handspun yarn(from my personal stash) that I will be listing next. I rather someone gets to enjoy the yarn while I'm raising fund for my kids karate than for them to sit in the plastic tub, not being loved. They are mainly fingering/sock and lace weight yarn.
