continental knitting

I was blog browsing the other day when I came across a woman knitting the continental style. Her knitting is neat and speedy. She suggested I google continental knitting and learn this new technique. So thats what I did. And while it seems efficient I feel like I am learning to write with my Left hand. I am going to persevere as its a great thing to learn something new. And who knows I may become so good I may break the world record for speed knitting . . . haha.

Knitting Shop
I have had a thought lately. Well a kind of plan forming in my mind. I have this I suppose you could call it a fettish. Hmmmm .... that may not be the right word. But I love beautiful pens, paper, fabrics and of course wool. And something I would love is to have my own Aladdin's cave of wool. A beautiful wool shop.. Not the ordinary kind of knitting store. One that is a place for knitters and want to be knitters to drop by and drink coffee or tea, be inspired and excited by this relaxing and rewarding craft. While the children play with beautiful wooden toys. Almost a drop in centre for coffee groups and knitting enthusiasts...

So I told my partner about it and then the next time I dropped into my local knitting shop they mentioned that they are closing. So there is my opportunity. So, I've written up a business plan and a budget, etc etc. This is something I am able to do, but I need to decide whether I want to commit to owning a business especially while I still have a young one at home.

I'll do a little more research, and sleep on it for a small while.....before making a decision.
