Wednesday morning, I was on my way to Boston to visit friends. I met the loveliest couple on the airport bus and their seats on the plane were right in front of me.
They have a good friend who knits and turns out I already follow her on Instagram. Alice Dunn Smith of Birchtreeknitting.
They told me there was a brand new knitting store –Knit Tuck & Purl in Lexington Massachusetts.
Friday, my friends Linda and Eileen took me to the shop.
We met Laurie the owner and saw samples of Birchtreeknitting hat patterns knitted up (which we later bought on Ravelry ) and discovered there would be a hat making workshop at Knit Tuck & Purl
The designer is teaching a class at the store!
I bought MDK Botanica book, a skein of holiday sock yarn by Biscotte and Turkey Point protectors by Fox and Pine Designs.
Everything was lovely.
I love it Ruth that you were able to add a sticker to your yarn store passport. Keep up the great work my friend xx
I never darken the door of such shops as my crafting abilities are zero though I am happy to admire the work of others.
Thanks Sheree
Great idea! Do you have Webs or Green Mountain Spinery in your passport? pam
Not yet. Only mail order.
Let me know, I’d love to give you the ‘grand tour’!
Sounds like a good plan
It’s an honor to be in your passport! I enjoyed your visit. What a small world. So happy you enjoyed the shop. 🙂
Looking forward to our return. Your shop is lovely.
What fun. The hats are beautiful. I think I need more pumpkins on my resume before attempting those gcr
You can do it!
How wonderful that you met this couple with the knitting connection. And then to go to that shop. What a lovely outing. I’m a tad envious as my son lives in greater Boston. Only a little more than a month and he will be back in Minnesota for Christmas. I cannot wait to see and hug him. I miss my boy as I’m sure you do yours, Ruth.
How wonderful he’s coming to Minnesota for Christmas. ❤️
I totally admire your enthusiasm.!
