My Sister Who Does not Knit

ч 

in ANY form of needlework.ч  SHE has a sister who along with a life long love affair with yarnsч  has

ч 

an online yarn business that sells to fiber addicts worldwide.ч 

ч 

ч 

I recently told her about a treasured customer who had just purchased 4 skeins of Great Adirondack"s Pashmina

ч 

Serengetti at $87 a hank.ч  This just happens to be, in my humble opinion, the most luxurious yarn we"ve ever

ч 

stocked in almost eight years of business.ч  Who wouldn"t want all that beauty?ч  This is a hand dyed, American

ч 

made luxury fiber not many knitters get to experience.

ч 

ч 

Her reaction was " you mean to tell me someone spent $348 and then has to make a garment?"ч  " For that

ч 

much money, I want it made and wrapped with a bow," she told me.

ч 

ч 

How sad I thought.ч  She"ll never experience the creative joy of making a potential heirloom to be passed from

ч 

one generation to the next.ч  I doubt she will ever know the sense of wonderment that 10 fingers, a ball of string,

ч 

2 sticks and a healthy dose of imagination will produce.ч  "Just one more row," will never come from her lips,

ч 

nor will she drive the family crazy looking for her missing needle.ч ч ч She will never brag about her knitter"s stash

ч 

and how she won"t ч live long enough to use up all the yarn she has.

ч 

ч 

Imagine,my sister will never know the fun of opening a new bag of yarn and savoring the richness in the

ч 

colors andч  textures.

ч 

I will have to accept the idea that she"ll never experience the adrenaline rush I feel touching a velvety,

ч 

super soft yarn.ч  I"ll have to accept the fact that she"ll never call me to say her head is spinning with ideas,

ч 

and when can I come over to help.

ч 

ч 

Well, there"s always hope.
