QUOTE from Elizabeth Zimmermann
“Soft wool from the simple silly sheep can be as fine as a cobweb, tough and strong as string, or light and soft as down. There are scientific reasons why wool is the best material for knitting, and into these I will not go…Woolen socks never become cold and clammy, however wet. A woolen sweater is so water-resistant that when dropped overboard it floats long enough to give you ample time to rescue it. The surface on caps and mittens made of wool repels all but the most persistent of downpours….For people allergic to wool, one’s heart can only bleed.”
Most of our customers are aware that Sally Melville is coming to Memphis in October, but some of you may not, and some of you may not even know of her. (Come into the shop and we can introduce her to you through her books.) We have arranged for Sally to come and lead workshops Saturday and Sunday, October 9 and 10, 2010. More information later, but mark your calendar now if you wish to attend, and look Sally up on the web. You’ll be impressed.
