The final episode of Four Sisters and Their Magic Yarn Shop.
Here are the links to Part7, Part 6, Part 5, Part 4, Part 3, Part 2 and Part 1.
Let’s see how the story ends.
Krista, Larissa, Sabrina and Veronica clicked their knitting needles and repeated “There's no place like our shop, there’s no place like our shop, …”
And everything started swirling, round and round …
The next thing that Krista heard was this obnoxious sound.
No, it wasn’t her alarm clock, and this wasn’t a dream caused by too much pepperoni pizza before bedtime!
The noise was the street cleaning machine going down the road to clean up the mess from the twister / Godzilla / flood.
The four sisters found themselves back at the shop and immediately started to tend to customers as if nothing had happened. Six o’clock came and it was time to close the shop.
SO, did these things really happen on the opening day of their shop?
Perhaps for a small bunny, I did tell a tallish tale.
But indeed there were some cranky folks who came to the shop with dropped stitches and left with stitches restored and a much better outlook on life.
And the shop community did share knowledge so that all might strive for no mistakes, for the most even tension, …
Of course the UPS delivery man frequently arrived with many large boxes.
And many folks learned to spin.
To be sure, the landlord was always paid and there were many storms weathered.
Godzilla may not have ever shown up covered in Musk ox fur (or even in the mythical Mush ox fur), but the Corriedale-Finn Ramboullet cross sheep roving was still wonderful to spin.
And of course there was a far away land, even though virtual, with a wonderful group of passionate knitters and a great moderator.
But what of Nadia’s magic box?
Perhaps the box did not contain magic, but she certainly did leave a wonderful spirit with the shop.
With much spirit and hard work the shop prospered.
But speaking of Nadia, she did appear again one fine day.
The four sisters were very happy to see her, and of course the question was posed about the magic box.
Nadia told them that there was nothing magical about the gift, but that the magic came from them!
So, the love the four sisters had for each other and for fiber was the magic; the magic to make their shop the best in the world.
Indeed the magic of the shop was not the hocus pocus or the mystic type, it was the magic of transforming simple fibers and yarns into beautiful creations, the magic of teaching someone and watching skills develop, the magic of a group of folks enjoying knitting and spinning.
The moral of the story: no magic gift is required. For given the desire, you already have all that you need to overcome all obstacles and prosper.
As far as what was inside the box, Nadia said that the small ceramic sheep with the fuzzy wool was very special, but a bit lightheaded – a dizzy sort of sheep. But that is definitely a different saga!
The End?
No! This is not the end, but the beginning of the rest of the story …
I hope you enjoyed sitting around the campfire and listening to my tale of Four Sisters and Their Magic Yarn Shop.
And thank you for helping to create the story.
Enjoy knitting/crocheting/spinning, and often!
