Mother of Purl

Dalton, for your lovely floral arrangements, for your “spirits,” and for always keeping me in the know. To Bonnie Auerbach, a big thank you for hosting our holiday party, and Steve Sfetku for helping to set up our photo shoot.

Thank you to all the yarn manufacturers and distributors who have helped to fill my store with their beautiful yarns. To my good friends, Barry and Myrna Klein from Trendsetters, thank you for your yarn contribution, friendship, and support. To Brad and Jeannine Duncan of Fiesta Yarns for the lovely gift of cashmere, Lusso and Tenero. Thank you to the team at Knitting Fever and Euro Yarn. A special thank you to Mr. Okada and Jan Carr of Clover Needles for listening to me and always giving me support; and to Margorie Winters and Warren Warlock of Berroco, Inc., for creating the “Edith Coat.”

And last, but never least, a big kiss to my fine feathered friends, Oscar and George, and my canine model, Leo.
