This is a continuation of a previous post to let you know who’s watching the shop while I’m gone.

Saturday…

Mandy Strawn

Mandy is a hard working mother of two young children, recently moved and missing her husband who is serving in Iraq. She’s a sweetheart to be around and I know she’s been missing her knitting world these past months, too, so I’m glad she had a chance to come in. Mandy’s background is in music therapy and I believe she’s been teaching some children’s classes in Wamego. She’s just recently moved to Ft Riley. Thanks for finding the time to help out, Mandy!

Tuesday…

Kathleen Oldfather

Kathleen’s not in often, but she’s always willing to help out when I’m away- schedule permitting. She has so many interests, I don’t even know where to begin. I’ve recently learned she enjoys bird watching with her husband, Michael and she is an excellent knitter. She’s done several projects for me in the past and some may have seen her beautiful afghans in previous fashion shows.

Audrey Clowers

Audrey just has a couple hours to spare next week, since she now has a business of her own, Clower’s Flowers and Such, a booth at farmer’s market selling lots of wonderful things from sprouts and plants to doggie treats and cat toys. She’s also a very accomplished knitter, although she’ll try to make you believe otherwise…don’t let her fool you. Fairisle ladybugs, steeks?

Jordan Smith

Jordan is coming back! Jordan has been a part of our group for years and is home (for the summer?) from her first year of college in Oregon. I can’t wait to hear all the projects she’s gotten into since we last saw her. She was knitting a huge blanket from the center out when she last left. She’s interested in food, food science, many other things I’m sure and of, course, she is totally taken with knitting!

Thanks, all, for helping out and making this trip possible for me.

Back to market news tomorrow…
