Knitter Patricia Maxwell known as
romance author Jennifer Blake invited Lisa to the Knit-Knackers Knitting
Group
The
Knit-Knackers knitting group, a recently formed offshoot of Heritage
Quilt Guild, Jonesboro, Louisiana, welcomed Lisa at a special meeting on
January 20, 2007. With several beginning knitters in the group, Lisa
fielded questions on every aspect of the craft from casting on and the
benefits of Continental-style knitting to the uses for different needles
and specialty yarns. She was also kept busy with requests for displays
of her expertise, including her fast action with a crochet hook and
knitting needles. Shared laughter, fellowship and good food provided by
a local church made for a fun day. The Knit-Knackers were particularly
delighted with their gift bags from Lisa which were filled with
beautiful Coats & Clark yarns, needles and collections of Lisa's
patterns. Lisa was surprised, in turn, by a gift basket piled high
with two dozen autographed books in her native German, the translations
of work from knitter Patricia Maxwell who is also known as romance
author Jennifer Blake.
