For those of you that have been customers of the shop since it was located on Forest Hills, I'm sure you have noticed that there have been more changes made than just added space and some well placed windows. With a larger space came the need for a larger staff. These "getting to know you" posts are to help you put names to faces and, hopefully, feel more like you know our family of employees a bit better. Today, Nancy and John.
Nancy is just about the nicest person you will ever meet. Really. On my first day she made me feel so welcome. You can't fake that kind of thing. She is also an AMAZING knitter. Nancy teaches many of our offered classes and she has the greatest eye for patterns and how to choose fiber to make that pattern a work of art. She is patient and generous and will help you become the knitter you want to be. She also has a really great dog. You have to love a person with a great dog. :-)
If you've been in the shop since December you may have noticed that there is a man hanging around. Meet Dr. John. John is a chiropractor that is taking a little side trip into the wonderful world of fiber. He is also Becky's son. If you looked up "enthusiasm" in the dictionary you would find John. He is funny, focused, and pretty darn flexible, considering that he is working with a bunch of creative women and hasn't completely lost his mind....yet. John is handling the business end of the shop, but he also has learned to knit and is doing a pretty fine job of it. He leaves Saturday for a few weeks in Australia, where he has lived the past two years. The place won't be the same without him. And look! He's got a new sweater! :-) (Sweater is Ann Norling pattern #29 made out of Manos Stria. The sample is a size 4 and uses three skeins pink, two skeins orange, and one skein a darker pink for the contrasting purl row. The pattern is six row stockinette, 2 rows garter.)
See you fine, fellow yarn addicts on Saturday "Crochet Day". :)
So much yarn...I wish I had more time.
Totally Hooked on Crochet, I am!
Last, but certainly not least, Becky welcome back from vacation and John have a safe trip to Australia!
