My Buddy, Jim Shelley

Jim and I met at Maryland Sheep and Wool a few years back. I was sitting on the grass eating lunch and naturally fell into conversation with the handsome fellow sitting near me. We've kept in touch ever since. Jim has evolved into an expert knitter, designing his own sweaters and taking on challenging patterns. I remember when knitted caps were a big deal for him. Jim saves and brings me all the wrappings from the soaps he's purchased over the years. He has many sisters and keeps them all in my soap and creme. Jim lives and works in Philadelphia. I wish I lived closer so I could attend the knitting workshops he gives at Knots in Philly.
