Borrowing the artful history writing of Kay Gardiner, as it appeared on Instagram recently
"True story. Once upon a time in the 1970s (approximately), two little girls named Kay and @galezucker
were NOT allowed to start flocks of sheep. So they became Camp Fire
Girls. Which was great, but not the same as having a flock of sheep on a
lighthouse island off the coast of Maine. To repair this psychic
injury, when they grew up Kay and Gale persuaded @janistarcroft to bring her Nash Island wool yarns to a jewel box of a shop on East 7th Street in NYC, @lf8elevate
One week only starting January 13.
Join us on January 15 from 6-9 and
January 17 (Saturday) from 3-6 for knittin' and chattin' old skool."
I can't add much except to say
• the Starcroft yarn is very special, and never available in NY before.
• there'll be a flock of knitters you'd enjoy the company of at the shop, during the knit and chats on Thursday and Saturday
• Jani graciously invited me to share some of my printed photographs and limited edition postcards from visits with her Nash Island sheep--all sepia toned, including the one above--so that'll be in the shop, too
• This whole crazy adventure is Kay's brainstorm, and I never say no to riding shotgun when Kay's behind the wheel. Join us!
