Out of the Box with Mr. Knits: Vacation After A Wild Two Months
In addition to rolling out some amazing yarn from Madelinetosh and Wonderland, a lot has happened personally that has delayed the launch of another brand we are really psyched for, Skacel Needles. We are hoping for early July to make those available to you.
But what happened personally in between was absolutely wild!
We had a family medical emergency starting in late April that occupied most of our time. Only now is the dust starting to settle on that front. We were able to maintain nearly all of our order fulfillment obligations, but had to delay some of the expansion we had already set in motion.
This all culminated in an arduous journey by Mrs. Knits to the H+H Americas Trade Show in Chicago. She just got back and is recovering. To make a long story short, it was a very difficult trip for her.
Because we take providing excellent service very seriously, we reluctantly closed this online store for vacation until July 1st. We don’t want you to wait an additional week for your order (and Google has store metrics that would be wrecked). The eBay store is also in a vacation mode where customers will be notified of our vacation, and the extended shipping delay.
This is a badly needed respite for Mr. and Mrs. Knits! We will be headed to the beach on the Washington state coast for a week. And you can bet Mrs. Knits will bring along Happy Knitting!
Summer is a down-time for knit shops, but we’ll be busy in July. I will be taking our annual inventory (also badly needed as one customer can confirm), 😃 making Skacel needles available to you (Mrs. Knits already loves using them), and adding even more yarn variety on this website and our eBay store. Just as exciting is the move to our bigger studio space here in Bremerton WA, where we will start hosting events in addition to consultations with Mrs. Knits by appointment only.
Thank you so much for your support, and see you in July!
