Hi Everyone,

Judging from the comments and the people I've spoken to personally; it is good to know that I am not the crazy one.

However, the craziness continues. This morning I received a phone call from their lawyer, informing me that if I did not remove the contents of their email from my blog, they would sue me for libel. I am not a lawyer nor do I pretend to be one, so clearly I am not aware of all the things that can be considered as libel. I asked that a letter be sent to me so that I would be better able to consider my options. If my post was indeed libelous then of course I will remove the email content, immediately.

It was never my intent to create any conflict (as I've told the owners of this store, several times). I think they have one of the best stocked yarn stores in the area so there is no reason for people to stop shopping there; and I respect their right to run their store as they see fit. They are free to set the terms for working with them, but I am also free to accept or reject those terms. They seem to be unable to accept that I rejected their terms.

Anyway, I will wait for the letter to decide if the email content will stay or be removed. Either way, I will not talk about this stuff anymore. I didn't created my blog for this. Plus, I really do have a lot of other stuff to to talk about.

Hi Everyone,

For the past while, but especially in the last week, a rather ridiculous “tempest in a teapot” has been brewing between a local yarn store and me. I was never an employee of this store and only provided courses and private lessons on an “as needed/requested basis”. I never realized that working with them meant that I was now an indentured servant.

I present to you, below, their final response to my desire to no longer teach at their store. Who could work with people like this? I have dealt with some real “whack jobs” but they are in a league of their own. Believe it or not, they still owe me money for services already rendered and sample knitting. I just hope they fulfill there contractual obligations.
