Five years ago two friends and I threw open the door to A Good Yarn Shop which is situated below my office.  What many people don't know  is that I write books in order to support my yarn habit.  Knitting has been a big part of my life from the time I was in grade school.  I believe I inherited this love of craft from my grandmother, who unfortunately I have no memories of.  She died when I was around 4 or 5 but my older cousins are full of stories about watching her crochet and many of the beautiful items she created have been passed down through the generations.  It has always been a dream of mine to own a yarn store and with the help of my two partners that dream became a possibility.  So… Happy Birthday to A Good Yarn Shop.
