Damascus High School and Kentlands Market (10-20-12)

Hello everyone!

We would like to start by thanking everyone who had been to the Damascus High School's Farmer's Market for this season.  Our last day was on Thursday (October 18th).  We plan to be Vendors again next season starting on Thursday, May 2, 2013.  As always, thank you to those who had bought knitted items and took business cards.  We hope to see you all next year at the market.

There will be an indoor event at Damascus High School later in November for their Holiday Boutique (details to come soon).

At the Main Street Farmer's Market for Kentlands, we would like to thank those who had purchased Soap Socks.

We will not be at Kentlands Saturday, November 3, 2012 since we are going to be at the Mill Creek Parish for their Holiday Bizarre Bazaar'12.  It's from 10 am-3 pm.  Their address and phone number is:  7101 Horizon Terrace, Derwood, MD 20855-1355, ph: 301-926-9024.  We hope to see you there!

This Week's Update on the Farmer's Markets

At the Farmer's Market for Damascus High School, we sold Crayon Carriers.  We would like to thank those who had bought them.  We also want to thank those who had stopped at our table and asked for business cards.  We hope to see you all this week again on Thursday from 3:30 pm-6:30 pm.

At yesterday's Farmer's Market for the Kentlands, the Vendors had the yearly Pot Luck Lunch.  There was Quinoa, Chili, Baked Beans, Cider, Cinnamon Buns, etc..  Everything was great!

During the day, we sold a Peruvian colored Hood that we had knitted recently.  It was perfect weather for it!  We plan to knit another Peruvian Hood later this week if there's time.

We had gotten an order Friday evening saying that a new Customer would like us to knit a hat for him. It's going to be knitted using black yarn and have white lettering.  Once it's completed, we plan to post some pictures for you to see in the next few weeks.

Well, this is all for right now.  More knitting news to come in the next few days!  Enjoy the rest of the weekend!

The Markets Update

What a week we've had with the Farmer's Market at Damascus High School on Thursday and then again today at the Kentlands.  We had sold Mahjongg Bags, Phone Socks, Hoods, Hats, and much more!  We would like to thank those that had been to both markets and hope to see everyone again next week.

We would like to thank those who had stopped at our table and took business cards for themselves and their friends.

At today's Farmer's Market, we had a new Vendor.  She sells her own granola (both with and without gluten).  This is her first day at the Kentlands market.  She plans to be with the market for the rest of this season.

Just a quick reminder..... For those who wish to place an order for the upcoming holiday season, please send an e-mail to:  knittingbyleah@yahoo.com and we will make sure to have your order ready for you before the holiday rush gets on the way!  You can pick up your order(s) either at the Kentlands Farmer's Market on Saturdays from 10 a.m.-2 p.m., or come to the Holiday Craft Bazaars/Marts in November or December.

The Kentlands Market (9-29-12)

Good afternoon everyone!  I hope you're having a wonderful start to the weekend.

At today's Farmer's Market in the Kentlands area, the temperature was quite chilly.  I'm hoping it'll be a little warmer next weekend.

While at the market, we sold a Phone Sock and a Yarn Necklace.  We would like to thank those who had asked for business cards for themselves and their friends.

We hope to see all of you next Thursday at Damascus High School and also on Saturday for the market in Kentlands, again.  We plan to have more winter items with us for both markets.

Have a great rest of the weekend!  More knitting news to come soon.

Kentlands Market, Upcoming Holiday Events, Gifts

Hello everyone!  Sorry I hadn't done too much posting lately, but I had been under the weather last week.

Starting today, I started knitting a baby hat that I had planned to do last week.  Once the hat is completed, I plan to post a few pictures for you all to see in the next few weeks.

At the Kentlands market yesterday, I sold a Peruvian Print colored hood.  I plan to knit a few more in the next few weeks since the weather is getting cooler and that one particular hood seems to be a favorite a lot of the Customers tend to buy the most.

Starting in November, I plan to be a Vendor for the Craft Bazaars and other holiday-themed events for the Mill Creek Parish Church and also at the First Baptist Church in Gaithersburg.  More information will be posted for both events in the next few weeks.  Please look for the posting starting mid-October.

Since it's getting closer to the holiday season, I'm taking orders for gifts to be made.  If you want to place an order, please send an e-mail to:  knittingbyleah@yahoo.com and include your specific colors, sizes, type of style and when the item is needed to be completed for pick up.

Well, this is all for right now.  I hope everyone is having a great weekend.  More knitting news to come soon.

The Markets & Upcoming Projects

Good afternoon everyone.  I hope you're having a wonderful start to the weekend.

At the Farmer's Markets, the weather was perfect!  It was a little windy, but not too bad for both days.

On Thursday, at Damascus High School, we sold Dish Cloths and Phone Socks.  The Phone Socks that were sold had been knitted by using yarn in the colors of the National Kidney Foundation (NKF).  We would like to thank those who are purchasing the orange and maroon colored Phone Socks to help with donations to the NKF.

While we were at the high school, there was a Back-To-School event for the parents.  Some of the parents stopped at our table and took business cards.

As for today's market in Kentlands, we sold Kindle/Nook Covers and more Dish Cloths.  We also got an order for a baby hat to be knitted.  The hat is going to be green and blue colored.  It's also going to be knitted using cotton yarn.

Well, this is all for now.  More knitting news to come soon.

September 8th Farmer's Market Thank You

Well, it sure was a very interesting day yesterday at the Farmer's Market in the Kentlands area.  First, the temperature reached to be near the 90's and was very hot.  Then, by the time it was time to clean up for the day, the wind started to come.

We would like to thank those who came and bought Soap Socks and Crayon Carriers.  We also would like to thank those who took business cards, as well.  It was nice to see so many Customers coming to see what we all had for sale.

Next week, we plan to have sales for the early holiday shopping season.  So, please come to our table and either place an order for a holiday gift (we have a form for orders), or purchase one on the spot at that moment!  We are bringing hoods and other winter related items with us.  Hope to see you there!

Well, this is all for right now.  More knitting news to come soon.  Enjoy the rest of the weekend.  Stay  safe!
