yarn!

Okay, the shop is being updated as I type this.  It's a little later that i had hoped but getting a haircut had reached emergency type levels so that had to be taken care of this morning :).  According to Mr.yarntini everything that is posted should be listed on the very first page.   All the fingering weight is up.  There will also be a few worsted and chucky pomtini skeins available soon in the "special items" section.  Please email me at jessieATyarntiniDOTnet if you have any questions.  I will be at my computer for the next few hours and will get back to you asap.  Thanks!!!!

computers are the devil... and a contest

Ugh.  The entire post that I just wrote completely disappeared and once again I cannot get pictures to show up properly.  I really don't feel like writing everything again so I'll try to summarize for ya. 

Apparently the shop launch did not go very well from a customer stand point, and for that I am very sorry.  Our main concerns were to keep the site from crashing and to make sure that all payments made were secure.  Those are taken care of so from now on we can concentrate on making the site easier to get to, easier to navigate, and just plain fun to visit.  Mr.yarntini and I headed off on a much needed and very belated honeymoon to Paris next week so things will be quiet around here until the middle of August.  I'm hoping to get some yarn up in the shop before we leave though so keep an eye out for that.

I really want to give away some yarn so although I'm terrible at coming up with contest ideas, here goes.  In honor of tonight's book launch I'll make this one Harry Potter themed.  All you have to do is tell me your favorite moment from the Harry Potter book series.  I guess try to keep it contained to the first six books for now to avoid spoiling the new book for anyone.  And if you haven't read the books, I'd love to know how you managed to not get sucked in!  Everyone that comments will be entered to win some yarntini yarn and other goodies and to try to make up for any headaches, anyone that commented on the last post will be entered twice.  Comments will be accepted through August 12th. 

Have fun at any Harry Potter parties you may be attending tonight and enjoy the weekend!

D-O-N-E spells relief!

All righty then!  Every skein of yarn that's available at this moment has been posted.  If you can't find it on the site, just go to fingering weight on the left side of the shop page and then to semi-solids.  I can't thank everyone enough for their patience and understanding with getting the shop up and running.  We didn't think it would be easy but it actually went a lot better than I thought it would.  I think the success of today calls for a contest and some kick-ass prizes... what do ya think?  Stay tuned!
