In a recent conversation, someone was explaining to me about their yarn business and how they were building customers. It stuck in The word customers stuck in my head as I wrote this newsletter. I kept thinking it was just more than that. Every month when I sit down to write this letter, I enjoy sharing all of the pictures and ideas. I love getting to meet all of you at Stitches and events. I love being around the creativity and energy. SWTC is about all of the friends we make who share our passion for color, texture, and creativity. Just as I wrote this, one of the service people in our building wandered in to talk about his daughter who is learning to knit. Her birthday is this week and he had no idea where to start in his quest to support her new hobby. It was my honor to share some knitting stuff and welcome another young girl into our circle and another new friend into this great yarn adventure. Take care friends. Keep the pictures, love , and good energy coming! See you on the road. Jonelle Have other ideas for SWTC and summer fun? know of any contests, games or -alongs we can join in?
