msb from Socks Made On 88
Here is it late afternoon and I have returned to tell you that we had a GREAT day!
We met several nice people, shared the room with a dear dear lady (82) and she was simply amazed with the machine. It was exciting just to see her face light up as MrB knitted and cranked out socks. I think we made her day too, as she gave us both a great big hugs at the end of our time there. Sales were super! Our lady friend was very taken with MrB his attire too which I will post a picture to share. She was impressed too not only with his knitting talents but with their conversations of making jam, canning and baking biscuits too! So what did I learn from today.....you can never predict what the day will be like, vibes don't tell the real story, but what does tell a story is the friendship you make and small gesture of kindness and sharing knowledge to a person you have never met before. I know for a fact we made this lady's day, week or maybe her year! We have been invited back for a December demo and we invited our new friend to hopefully attend and share the room again with us. She was brought in to teach children how to knit but no children signed up or showed up. Her sense of humour and interest of our machine fascinated her to no end and she even got some knitting of her own done while working on a dish cloth, special request order. Our new adventure today was very good and very heart warming indeed!
