Jofrog is Knitfrog!
December 17 2004
Not only is A Good Yarn my LYS, and a LYS in a current fiction book, The Shop on Blossom St, it is also the title of an article in the most recent (Jan 05) Martha Stewart Living magazine.
I was at a friends last night and I flipped through it. There was an article about the reintroduction of chullo sheep and their near extinction in the early 20th century which was very interesting, and then one about how to throw a knitting dinner party, where the conversation can be as energetic as the knitting needles. Does that sound familiar to any of my knitting friends and our ladies dinner and knitting nights?
So, why am I writing all of this? The picture that accompanies the article is of four women, sitting on a couch knitting garter stitch scarves! Why? Yes, many new knitters knit garter stitch scarves, but many new knitters knit more interesting scarves, or dare I say, sweaters! In addition to that, not all young knitters are new knitters! Look at the Knitsmiths. We are a mostly young group that produces incredible items. I think that Martha short changed the young knitters of America. If you are walking by a news stand, stop to check out this ridiculous picture. One of the girls is even showing another how incredible her garter stitch scarf is. At least they aren't using eyelash yarns!A Good Yarn
