Luckily it's a period relatively few people choose to recreate, except for, for example, EZ's designs. The thread qualifies as reminiscences, anyway. Good luck with the weather. It's hot here (no surprise).=Tamarnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-25262593056494193832010-07-15T23:26:53.959+01:002010-07-15T23:26:53.959+01:00The yarn shop in Oberlin is small, mainly because ...The yarn shop in Oberlin is small, mainly because it is only a half a yarn shop (the other half is a upscale home goods store) but it is the people- the best knitting group I ever had. <br /><br />And actually Jean, I feel like the knitting vacation is good. I am finishing some crocheted projects that I have wanted to finish for a while, and my brain is percolating with knitting ideas..... I am considering the Green Sweater by EZ again, and just yesterday I made a leap and bought the kit- Schoolhouse Press has a run of the Sportweight wool that she originally knit it in and I snapped it up.... so I will probably get to that soon! (Of course a sweater like that is really a jacket in South Texas.)Angelhttp://knittingangel.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-53368711194522478872010-07-15T14:25:28.016+01:002010-07-15T14:25:28.016+01:00It was funny to see your reference to Oberlin and ...It was funny to see your reference to Oberlin and knitting. Then I remembered you mentioning Oberlin in the past. My oldest child is preparing to head to college in one more year. Oberlin is currently her first choice (voice and something in the social sciences). She was completely tickled to see a yarn shop right by the conservatory!jennifer.auroradesignhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08090595446730308435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-28117200575043946072010-07-15T13:26:21.029+01:002010-07-15T13:26:21.029+01:0050 years seems hardly historic.
