Firstly, let me say wool is not an easy sell when you are looking at 34 degrees of molten heat at a Farmer’s Market and yet, selling must go on and you have to be prepared for all contingencies (including the extreme heat).

I now, more than ever, appreciate my cotton wares that I would normally turn my nose up at in favour of glamorous, fancy, sexy wool. Also bamboo and silk blends from France have now taken a more prevalent place in my display. No matter how much foresight a shopper has–NO ONE wants to try on wool on a day like Sunday. For those that chose fashion over heat prostration, I thank you for your purchases!

As the Olympics have carried on…..11 Medals — Canada Rocks —- and my own knit Olympics are wearing down, due to my own body wearing down…. Seriously you can overwork those knitting, crocheting and spinning muscles. But I have realized that am surrounded my Olympic quality people, particularly this weekend who I am awarding GOLDS to.

Pearl – gold in your own version of a Triathlon or Decathlon, you choose, or perhaps both, yes, both….

John – gold in a single event this weekend (only because you didn’t do the driving) and stay the extra day….

I am assuming you will both pass the drug testing!
