Last Saturday Emily, my sister, took my mom, my other sister and I to the roller derby. Emily became fascinated with the roller derby after taking our Uncle Bill to an event last year. I can see why she likes it — it is like hockey, football and speed skating all combined. And you get to dress up! What girl wouldn’t want to dress up?
I took my basket of knitting but didn’t get any knitting accomplished. I was on the edge of my seat the whole entire time. Our team, Naptown (something or other) won 160 to 25. Yep, it was amazing.
Another amazing thing happened at the Roller Derby — I had a sweater sighting. Do you recognize the sweater the man with the grey hair is wearing? Probably not because I took a terrible picture. but that’s Brooklyn Tweed’s wonderful Cobblestone sweater! It was so much fun to see a handmade sweater in a place I did not expect to see one!
Have you seen handmade sweaters in unexpected places?
