Working in the Shop

   I worked in the shop in Cooperstown today and took a bag of things to finish.  I had to do the embroidery and sew on the buttons for this Black
Sheep sweater.  It's a size 1 done in Red Heart Turqua with lemon yellow trim.  Customers are always surprised to find the black sheep on the back.
    The Flowers and Lace Sweater (below)is a size 1 knit with Red Heart's
Light Purple with Pale Pink Flowers and buttons.

    The baby cloche with rolled brim (below) is also made with Red Heart yarn in purple with a pale pink hand-knit rose.  It fits most 1-2 year olds.
   I also finished working in the loose ends of yarn inside all of these projects.  Many customers enjoy watching the projects take their final form...especially things like the rose which is made in a narrow strip and rolled up.  Having something to work on...and something to talk about with the customers...helps make the day go by.
