About The Loopy Ewe
Home » About Us
I am a multi-generational knitter. Actually, I'm not really sure how far back my knitting roots go. My mom knits, as well as both grandmothers, and their mothers, and no doubt it continues backwards, several more generations. Since my teen-age daughter has picked up the tradition with a passion, we are doing a good job of carrying on the tradition.
After a significant lapse between learning to knit in junior high and becoming a Knitter with a capital K, I began my re-discovered Knitting career by starting on scarves. They just flew off the needles and soon we were being overrun by scarves. (And really, just how many scarves can one person wear and give as gifts?) My talented husband suggested a nice storage/display solution (see photo in my blog). Isn't it nice that he played along with it and didn't discourage further yarn purchases and knitting? Despite his "scarf support", I moved on to the next thing - SOCKS! (A person can never have too many socks.) I wondered if I would tire of socks the way I had gotten over scarves? The answer is a resounding no. For you see, once you put a handknit sock on your foot - you never want to take it off, and you never ever want to wear commercial socks again. My only problem nowadays, is finding enough time to knit all the socks that I want. My "sock yarn stash" quickly exceeded my "regular yarn stash" - no surprise there. I will be knitting socks for decades - and loving every minute of it.
My husband and I have both owned and operated our own businesses for years. Opening The Loopy Ewe has been a labor of love, and downright fun! It has been a family project from start to finish, including my husband on graphics and photography, our son on web design, our daughter on inventory, and me - well, I just keep knitting socks. (OK - maybe I did a few more things than that to get this business up and running.)
We are committed to top quality service and look forward to sharing the love of socks and knitting with you for many years to come. If you find yourself in the St. Louis, MO area and want to pop on over and check out our "Loopy Room" full of sock yarns and fun accessories in person, just give us a call. (888-527-9181)
