Good, Better, Best... 07/28/2011

We've just been invited to participate in the wrap-up event for the Shore Update's "Good, Better, Best" contest. The event is new this year, though the contest is a fixture here on the Shore. It's always fun to take a minute and think about all of the local businesses that make life here on the Shore so great and then to thank them in a small way by voting and filing a ballot. The Update for those who may not know is a free (you read that right - free!) weekly publication here on the Shore that keeps up all up to date on what's happening locally. It arrives like clockwork every Thursday in print and they also maintain a web site (www.shoreupdate.com). If you would like to participate in the balloting and have a chance at the grand prize, you can download a ballot on the site. Whether you vote or not, the wrap-up event is open to the public, no participation required. It will take place at The Jetty in Grasonville (Kent Narrows) from 5 until 8 on Weds, Aug 31. Should be a lot of fun and they'll be distributing the awards to the winners of both the contest and the grand prize.

Hi There, My name is Sue Pilsch. I'm a transplanted New Englander who opened IYB  several years ago on Kent Island. I've been knitting so long I remember when there were only a couple of weights of yarn available in limited colors, but my passion - despite forays into various other needle arts over the years - remains undimmed (some would say untamed).
          Being surrounded by magnificent colors and textures all day every day is truly a dream, and I am also lucky enough to have a husband who, while he doesn't share my passion for all things fiber, puts up with and supports it to an amazing degree.   Most important, he always seems to know exactly when to let me run free and when to rein me in.  Thanks for that, Marty!
          Here in the blog I hope to share my journey as a LYS owner as well as the excitement I feel each and every time the UPS delivery man brings me another box of goodies for the shop.   I'm hoping some of you will also take the time to provide some creative feedback which I always appreciate.
          So far my greatest problem at the shop has been which pattern to develop in which yarn and with that as my biggest issue, life is very, very good here at IYB. Hope you'll enjoy my musings and come back often.
Take good care, Sue
