The Finnish couple in the booth have ooh’d and aah’d appropriately at Katie’s amazing work, and the husband has wandered off to another booth while the wife and I chat.
“I understand how delicate this work is,” she says seriously, holding up a butterfly to the light and watching it shine, “because I knit, lace and things, hundreds of different stitches in one piece, and I will not let anything go out unless it is perfect.”
“Well, I’m glad people like you need lackadaisical people like me to help them take it easy,” I say.
“Yes, I have found mine, and I am glad she has found hers,” she replies, nodding firmly.
