A Knitter's Weekend
Nashville: A Ramble to Craft South
The day after the day after Thanksgiving may be one of the most delicious days of all. Here in Nashville, the spectacularly mild weather has given way to something damper and cooler, which suits me.
Friday meant a ramble with Mary Neal and Susan down from Paducah—two able companions who know how to make the most of a balmy day with no schedule. We stopped by Craft South for a hello to proprietor Anna Maria Horner and otherworldly phenomenon Juliana Horner.
Craft South is located in the dead center of 12South, a Nashville neighborhood that has been overtaken by hordes of wandering folk with Frothy Monkey coffee cups, Draper James bags (Reese Witherspoon’s new dress shop), and bespoke denim from Imogene & Willie. Craft South is an oasis amid the muchness.
Rebekka Seale’s Camellia Fiber Co. yarns are a sigh come to life:
A snack-sized Koigu shrine.
A wall of Appleton tapestry yarn.
Yes, Kay, we dug out all the shades you need for your needlepoint pillow. Shall post them posthaste.
If anyone ever gets to visit Half Moon Bay in California visit Fengari’s yarn shop! Oh my word! Unbelievable! The town is small but wonderful and stopping in to look at all the lovely yarn? Bring your credit card
