A Trestle Press original digital short story seriesâ€¦Amish Knitting Circleâ€¦Volume 2â€¦Wedding Season,Itâ€™s been three weeks since Granny Weaver started her knitting circle to knit shawls for tornado victims in Joplin, Missouri. She had a hunch that women spun together, like her wool, would be stronger too. At the first circle, Ruth was missing and Granny knew why. Her husband, Luke, was isolating her again. Maryann didnâ€™t come because of her ongoing fatigue. Fannie came, but Granny almost fainted when her widowed son, Roman, seemed to show interest in this twenty-one year old. Granny wanted him to notice his old sweetheart, Lizzie, but he barely gave her a passing look, all his attention went to Fannie. ,Itâ€™s Mid-November now, and wedding season is in full swing. Emotions surface in everyone as they see vows exchanged between two people in love. Some are reminiscing over their own wonderful marriages, while others are plowing through this season with dread. The happiness around them only magnifies that fact theyâ€™re in an unhappy marriage or lonely, being single. How can the women help each other as theyâ€™re spun tighter together in a knitting circle?,This series, available every three weeks, will cover an Amish year. Weâ€™ll see women open up at the knitting circle, their hearts encouraged, as they face trials and every day pleasuresâ€¦together.
