…have you any Wool? Blog

When they’re not knitting or playing soccer, the Garcia sisters are practicing their hoola hoop skills.  They stopped by to get the festivities started and they did a fabulous job!  Thank you to Grandma Joanne for bringing them and for creating the adorable costumes.

What beautiful weather we had for our Sock Hop!  The gang was assembled and ready for the fun to begin.  Everyone got into the spirit of the day too!  Beth made this adorable cake for our anniversary.  It was delicious Beth!

Diana Harker lends her expertise demonstrating knitting two socks on two circular needles.  Go Diana! 

I want to thank my fellow Berkley businesses O’Mara’s Restaurant, Hartfield Lanes, Bagger Dave’s and The Chop Shop for their support of this event.  The winners of the gift certificates were thrilled!  Next time I’ll capture the moment on film!     

You may or may not know Ann who teaches here at the shop.  She’s a rather “proper” English lady with the patience of a saint.  I enjoy listening to Ann talk.  Hearing her accent and the way that she says things makes me smile.  Anyway, I noticed something about Ann one day when she was knitting.  She likes to knit with fancy, shiny yarn!  Of course she wouldn’t wear anything so flashy but knitting with it doesn’t count I guess.  Ann showed up the the sock hop without her poodle skirt so I gave her a shirt with a rhinestone studded ball of yarn and needles to put on.  Ann will tell you that I twisted her arm but I’m telling you that it took no twisting at all!
