      - IMO this puts too much pressure on the guy. -- nm - loosilu Mar 18, 11:35
    - sounds like a good plan - peruse eBay - I am serious - there are actual stores on there - you may even find the right one, copy the photo and try to - Epiphany Mar 18, 11:29

        part of my problem with Knit Fic is that I really do not care about how to run a needlework store. -- nm - loosilu Mar 18, 11:27 1
        
        It seems to be a requirement for the genre. :( -- nm - TaurusII Mar 18, 11:29
