As some of you may already know, my time at fibre space is drawing to a close.
My last day in the shop will be this Friday, October 15th. I will be moving to California next week – my husband was offered his dream job (with Apple) and it’s too good to refuse. So it is with very great sadness that I am going to have to say goodbye. Since last July, I have grown close to an incredible community of knitters and crocheters, families and friends. I have enjoyed helping many of you learn new techniques and skills or just cheering you on to try something new. I am thankful that I have, in some small way, become a part of your lives as well. I will miss everyone.
I want to thank Danielle for letting me, a perfect stranger, come in and be part of her plan from almost the beginning. It has been gratifying to watch hard work turn into the vibrant, colorful, friendly place we all share.
Our dear Kel has taken a big gamble to be here full-time and take my place in the shop day to day. (I will try to make sure she can find everything I’ve hidden!) Please welcome her as the new manager of fibre space. I will miss all the staff: Lesley, Becky, and Sam; and all our teachers. You’ve become the best friends I could have hoped for. And to everyone else in the fibre space community: I wish you all the very best. You’ve heard me say it before and I’ll say it again: I have nothing but the greatest confidence in all of you! And don’t worry. I won’t be so far away, thanks to Ravelry and the power of the Internet.

Dear Veronica-
Thank you for all of your assistance and encouragement at fibre space over the last 15 months – as I learn to become a more proficient (and confident) knitter. It is very much appreciated.
The very best of good luck and good wishes to you and your husband on your move west.
Best wishes,
Karen

Oh, Veronica, I just heard this today. I am so sorry you are leaving; you’ve been such a wonderful teacher and encourager! Enjoy California; it’s a beautiful place. I moved here from there, and I predict your adjustment will be fairly easy. You won’t have trouble finding like-minded fiber artists. Best Regards and thank you for your help,
Johnna

Veroncia — so sad that you’re leaving! Thank you for all your help these past few months with my many “knitting emergencies” and teaching me socks and Fair Isle! I promise to continue to tell people Fair Isle is NOT hard to learn! Have a wonderful time in California!
