Party for Samira

Samira has been a regular at Sheepish since way back before we were Sheepish.  And through all the years we've known her, she's been working hard toward her Ph.D.  This year, we knew her dissertation defense was approaching, so a bunch of our Tuesday night regulars (and staff) decided to make her a graduation gift.

Well, Samira had her defense last week.  And this week, we celebrated.

Cake!  (Not shown: champagne!)

And we gave her the gift.

Cozy!

That's 35 squares, knit with love and assembled into a special afghan we hope Samira will enjoy for a long, long time. 

She seems to like it. :)

Times like this remind us that Sheepish is so much more than just a yarn shop.  For those of us who work here, and for our regulars (especially the Tuesday night crowd), it's also a community.  We're proud to say that many of our customers have also become our friends.

Congratulations, Dr. Mehta!
