Making New Friends

Our traveling Kuryeon made a new friend whilst in Maryland. Connie Johnson was Becky's mentor and teacher. Becky worked in her yarn store during her high school years. Becky attributes much of her knitting knowledge to Conne's patience and expertise. Connie taught her magic invisible seams and Becky calls her the "Original Seam Queen!" Connie is 89 and her vision is not the greatest anymore. Despite this, she is still knitting aran sweaters for her great grandchildren. She says she knits them by touch! What an amazing legacy to witness.
