A Visit With Dale and Ginnie

 Well, I had a good day in the store today.  I had a visit from the loveliest people imaginable.  Dale and Ginnie Kadavy from Omaha came out to inquire about rug hooking for Dale.  Ginnie had hooked a project before, but thought Dale might enjoy learning how to hook.

I told Dale that we have 2 great rug hooking men here at the store.  Larry Walton and Ken Petersen both hook here regularly and I am sure would welcome another fellow hooker.  They will never out number the women, but at least their odds are increasing.

Dale selected a the "Primitive Horse" kit, a frame and then started the process of selecting a hook.  There are so many to chose from and each have their own attributes.  He tried several and decided on a Ritchie that fit him just right.

Dale practiced and Ginnie and I chatted and all and all, it was a wonderful afternoon.  They were a really nice couple and I hope they return to hook with us on a Friday afternoon or first Saturday for open hooking.

We will be hooking tomorrow from 12-5.  Remember, everyone is welcome.  November 2nd will be 1st Saturday hooking from 12-5.  Open hooking is free and open to all.
Join us for a little help or just good conversation.

See you soon,

Janice

  1. Kudos to Dale for wanting to learn to hook. There was one guy in a class at Cape May and he doesn't mind in the least that the women out number him.

  2. I agree. We love having our 'guy' hookers here in the store. Although, sometimes they have to pretend they didn't hear some of the conversations that go on in here.
