Lulu Knits at the Farmer’s Market

Last weekend my wife and I decided to get some fresh air and peruse a local farmers market. That is where I met the wonderfully talented Lulu. Her beautiful knit designs caught my eye so I went right over to get a closer look. She was a good sport and let me take photos of her booth after I told her that I work with yarn every day.

While her designs drew me in, it was her story that really stuck in my head. Years ago she took advantage of her daily 5 hour commute to and from work by rekindling her knitting hobby. From there she really developed a passion for designing new pieces. Today she sells them online and in person at farmers markets and craft fairs. She is the epitome of taking lemons and making lemonade.

I love the idea that you can delve deeper into a hobby or even develop a new one at any point in life. It’s never too late to learn or grow. If you are just starting out with knitting/crochet or you haven’t done it for years, let Lulu’s story inspire you to keep going!
