And no wonder! She’s been knitting since she was five years old! As she says in her charming English accent, her daughter “never had a store-bought sweater!” At the present time, Joyce is creating and donating “Downton Abby” gloves (pictured here) through the Rock Creek Mobile Home Park group, Crafting for Charity.
Of course, Joyce only knits when she’s sitting down. For fifteen years, she circulated among her students, helping them learn to paint and fire ceramics in her shop in Auburn.
Her home here in Rock Creek, stands out for its charm. Not surprising….she decorated several homes built through the years by her husband, Jack. And what about her English teas? Just ask her granddaughters!
I met Joyce while playing pickleball, a decade or so ago. She was a real champion! Seriously, a winner of pickleball tournaments!
You get the picture: for Joyce, knitting is a form of resting!
Joyce and Jack are lovely, awesome neighbors. We are very fortunate they chose to live here!
Thank you so much, Dee!!
You’re so welcome Joyce.
You and Jack deserve every word of it.
Joyce is a great “crafty friend”! I LOVE those mittens and am the proud owner of a pair of them! Planning to get several more pairs for gifts, from my talented friend! Keep those needles movin’, Joyce!
Thank you, Janice. A pleasure “crafting” with you!
Always wish I’d learned to knit! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you!
Having “tried” to knit, I truly appreciate this skill and am thankful she’s helping keep it alive!
Thank you!
Wow, this looks like a lovely English painting! And such talent! Joyce, you are a true treasure as our precious friend here at Rock Creek!
Thank you so much, Tonya. A pleasure knowing you and Greg.
Joyce is amazing and charming. She’s such a delight in our Crafting group – AND a great neighbor- both Joyce and Jack. Did Joyce also keep her eyes closed when she played Pickleball? Hmmmm. 😍😍to you and Jack. Donna
Love our neighbors. Yes, I close my eyes for almost everything!!
Joyce is a very talented woman. I heard she is also a quilter!
So glad to have both Joyce and Jack as neighbors.
Thank you so much, Ruth!
