There are some knit designers who I respect immensely. Ysolda Teague is one of them.
I respect that she can survive by making a living with crafts. I admire her ability to use her own two hands to create beautiful things that people from all over the world enjoy. Her patterns are beautiful, her designs are well thought out and unique. She has recently self-published a book Whimsical Little Knits, and is currently touring the U.S. at an incredible pace. And she seems like an all-around nice person.
So, when I learned that Tonia Barry, the new store manager at Hub Mills Store in Lowell had contacted Ysolda to come hang out at the store on Saturday, I was psyched! She'll be there from 1-3 pm, tomorrow (Saturday, May 16th, 2009).
I have something I need to do in the late morning with family, but I'm really hoping I'm able to make it to Hub Mills before 3pm.
