Ready, Set, Move!

Thursday, August 18th, 2011

On Friday the carpet should be installed, Comcast should be turned on and we will be ready to start the moving in process.

Of course we will be moving in without everything being finished, but I think we will be growing into the new location over the course of the next year.

In the meantime, here is the immediate plan:

Saturday night starting at 5pm we will be emptying the yarn bins. If you want to come and help then stop on by. It will only take a few people to load up the plastic bins full of the yarn in preparation for the move.This will allow the muscles to take down and reinstall the shelving units on Sunday.

Then on Monday we will need volunteers to help with the yarn bucket brigade. This should start at 1pm and will continue throughout the afternoon. If you have even an hour or two that would be a help. Call me , email me or atop by for further details.

Thanks, Linda

Almost Ready to Move

Saturday, August 6th, 2011

We are working hard to get the new home for Northampton Wools ready. We have already spent three weeks cleaning, cleaning and more cleaning, painting and more painting. Next will come carpeting and all new lights. A few final touches and the brand new space will be ready to move into.

On Sunday at 10am we are moving the first phase of the inventory from the cellar of 11 Pleasant St to the cellar of 29 Pleasant St. I will post pictures of the first yarn bucket brigade so that you can enjoy seeing it even if you couldn’t make it. There will be another chance for you to participate when we move the contents of the upstairs. Watch your email for when that will be.

I am so excited about the amount of room in the new space. My dreams are filled with ideas and plans for making the new Northampton Wools user friendly and knitter ready.

There is going to be a special place for a  little sit and knit and even a new coffee and tea service. I can’t wait to see it all in action, and I will keep posting as we make progress towards that day.

Thanks,

Linda
