Me... and the Women Around Me

It's so funny, growing up most of my friends were men. For some reason I always had trouble having friendships with women. Isn't it ironic now that I work in a business that is almost entirely women... I spend my entire day chatting with, teaching, and helping other women. And who would have thought that I would love every minute of it!!

The reason I'm writing about this randomness is because I just finished teaching a class on the Noni Felted Lattice Bag. The class was all women... different ages, different backgrounds, different all around... but we all love to knit. The conversation in 2 hours covered

  • dogs
  • cooking (or lack of)
  • cables
  • boobs
  • sock yarn

and so much more! On top of it all... we get to make a beautiful bag!

My life is good... I love what I do.

OK.. I've been sucked in!

Alright... I've been told by many people that I need to start a blog... so.. here goes!



To start off with I will introduce myselt to those who may not know me. I'm Kim... I own a LYS (Local Yarn Store) in Wakefield, MA. Butterfly Yarns has been open for about 2 and a half years now. I love my job because I get to do what I love, bring my dog and my son to work, and meet some really great people!



So... I think having a blog I'll be able to write about my adventures as a single mom, business owner, and crazy knitter. Should be fun!!
