Houston’s own
It has been so interesting, the people we’ve met in these five short months of operation. For example, there’s a crochet pattern celebrity here in our own back yard – the CrochetDudehimself, Drew Emborsky. I have to admit, I was star struck when he came into the store for the first time. Yes, star struck. By the CrochetDude.
He is a complete hoot, and I have loved his purse patterns for a long time without knowing he was creating them just a few miles away. He generously blessed us with some of his FAB.U.LOUS yarn stash, and we have enjoyed all the yarn freaks interested patrons who have come by in search of what is without a doubt the best yarn we will ever have.
And I’m so happy for his success! He has a line of crochet tools just coming out in stores now, and his most recent book is receiving rave reviews. And, he has a ton of additional content online for folks to use and enjoy free of charge. He is a generous and talented man, and we are glad to know him.
If you’d like to know him as well, there’s a book signing/make and take/crochet fest/plus fabulous prizes at Yarntopia in Katy this Sunday. Sounds like a great time, and who doesn’t want to WIN FREE STUFF from a yarn store? If I weren’t involved in keeping the store open for you yarn freaks interested patrons, I’d be elbowing my way to the front of the line.
