The shop is down due to the fact that i am having it completely redone and customized. I have hired a professional group to redo and gut the website. it will be fresh, original, easy to get around and just plain beautiful. I hope everyone likes it when it is done. I expect it to be done by the middle of July. =)
I would also like to introduce you to my new shoe. . . yes, it's a hard soled shoe for my broken toe. It was horrible standing and dyeing yarn for hours with a broken toe. I am very glad to say that with this new shoe, the pain is down to a minimum. Yes, it does cause my legs to be different lengths when not wearing another shoe, but whatever, it helps! I have been dyeing quite a bit of yarn and spinning fiber. I will be introducing four new yarn bases at Sock Summit. I really hope everyone likes them.

I hope your toe heels up soon. Foot injuries always seem so much worse in comparison to other types.
I'm curious to see the new site and the new base yarns. My stash of sock yarn is slowly diminishing and I'll have to resupply myself eventually. :)
It's nice seeing all the socks popping up here and on Ravelry. I don't think I could ever manage the 52 pair plunge but it's still inspiring seeing yours.
