Great review of a great town! And the picture of the grumpy man in the AG store is a hoot. Wish I could come to Woolbearers to meet you (well, we sorta met at the Kennett Square 1000 Knitters event, but I blabbered on at you in true star-struck-ninny fashion so I'd like to take a mulligan on that one) but I have to work. Enjoy, it is a great store!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18710479.post-48224807931177913322009-01-30T21:18:00.000-05:002009-01-30T21:18:00.000-05:00Sigh.
