Last week when I was visiting my two Columbus, Ohio families, I popped into 614 Knit Studio to get a sock needle and some sock yarn to knit men’s socks. Believe it or not, I hadn’t taken enough knitting projects with me. I ended up staying almost ten days instead of five and had completed two projects. Thought I’d get a jump on some Christmas knitting.
When I was at the shop, a sign on the door said the shop was going to be closed Memorial Day Weekend because they were going to be a vendor at the Great Lakes Fiber Show in Wooster Ohio. When I entered Wooster into my Maps App it was a mere hour and fifteen minutes from Laura’s house and on the way home (sort of) to Pittsburgh.
Here’s owner 614 Knit Studio Owner Andrea Panzica
I bought a merit badge pin for a couple of knitting friends. I had to tell Andrea it was because of her sign at her shop that I came to the Great Lakes Fiber Show
Look at this gorgeous Studio Dog Fibers yarn they are featuring
Here are some of the vendors I met at the show. People at Work
Do you have a Spinning Wheel that needs repair or servicing? Here is Ed Jr. Ed the Wheel Healer. Located in Oberlin,Ohio you’ll have to email or give him a phone call as they are not on social media.

Recycled Yarn Co has an Etsy shop sells cranked tubes to make socks by adding cuff, heels and toes. I’ve knit several pairs of Opal yarn socks and it’s hardy and long wearing. Thanks to my friend Terry who introduced me to the brand.

My sister waited outside the Yarn shop while I popped inside. We were walking back from the parking garage by the River.
Mary had spotted the handsome dog above the entrance.
I bought a couple of skeins of Tuscan Gold DK weight yarn -50% silk 50% Merino wool by Rosie’s Colors in Brooklyn.
My grandson Jack (15) took this photo while he was rewarding Henry the Airedale with a dog biscuit.
Laura texted me the pic she took of Oscar, the Labradoodle.
LC (Little Cat) isn’t the only one who hides under the cowhide. You may have seen her cattail peeking out from under this exact spot on the Wordless Wednesday post. I took the kitty photo on Sunday when I went to my friends house for lunch
This evening I received these photos from my friend. Jen Salvatore sent them in response to Wordless Wednesday’s post.
Meet Winnie, the rescue dog.
Jen says:
Winnie…she’s our rescue dog…mostly part black lab/American pit bull.She like to play with her toys under there. 🙂
She’s was named after the movie Hocus Pocus…since she was a hopeful adoptee for October. We kept the name since she knew it. 🙂
I told Jen the pics of her pets worked perfectly with the black and white hide and that a Golden Retriever’s coat just wouldn’t be the same.
James was watering in the front yard.
Oscar thought he’d catch a refreshing drink from the hose spray.
And a rainbow appeared.
Oscar is a labradoodle who will be one in August. He’s enjoying being part of Laura, James and Charlie’s family. They’re enjoying him, too. ❤️
If you look down into the woods, you can see the grave of the first settler of Highland Park- Alexander Negley (1734-1809)
I’d just driven Steve to work and I wanted to see my favorite tree in the snow, so I drove through the park on the way home.
My #perpetual_puppy_Airedale was along for the ride.
