Chronicle Staff Knitting is more than a hobby for Monica Jutzi who, with partners, runs a knitwear booth at the Waterloo Farmer‘s Market. o Knitting is more than Monica‘s hobby _"I enjoy knitting," she said, "I like people, and this fulfills a need for me." For her the people contact is as imporâ€" tant as the knitting and the money. ‘"We don‘t pay ourselves for our time at the market, but we‘re not losing money either." The booth o%ened last September and was operated by Jutzi and Ineéke Kamâ€" phuis, who left at the end of January. Not wanting to close the booth, nor to work alone, she formed a partnership with another couple, and everyone takes turns working at the booth alternating Thursâ€" days and Saturdays. They split the rental costs, and share the profits from consignâ€" ment knitters. "You can‘t live on consignment sales," Jutzi commented, but they do pay the $42â€"aâ€"week rental costs at the market. Profit comes from selling her own knitted articles. â€" WELDING SUPPLIES LIMITED -g\;’;&;bers, hats, mittens, scarves, baby Gold Key Travel ANNOUNCEMENT Paul J.

Chilâ€" dren‘s sweaters may be made from acrylic wool for easy washing but adult sweaters are usually made from more delicate wool blends which require more care. Custom orders are reluctantly accepted. Some knitters do them, others don‘t, she comâ€" mented. "They‘re concerned with making a product the customer will be happy "EINALLY, FOR THE KID WHO HAS EVERYTHING â€" SOMEPLACE TO PUT IT!" Some knitters use knitting machines (Jutzi has two) while some handâ€"knit their items. A sweater, including finishâ€" ing takes six to 10 hours to make, she estimated. Two machines doesn‘t mean you can do twice the work, she explained. One machine uses fine to medium wool, the other medium to bulky wool allowing a full range. Sweaters start at $60 and range in price to about $175, she said. "Women in the fiast have devalued their work.

The farmer‘s market provides a "clean and open‘" atmosphere Jutzi noted, "In order to sell a good quality product you need a good quality building." The booth was designed and built to display 32 sweaters with table room for smaller items. "It‘s really quite unique," she said proudly. * Adding a booth in the Kitchener Farâ€" mer‘s Market hasn‘t been discounted but Jutzi said much "depends on business." Her knitting and booth revolve around the activities of two children, aged six and eight. "If it was to be taken away from me right now, I‘d be devastated," she comâ€" mented. "I‘m getting more (out of the business) than money." She added that the Kitchener Market attracted a different type of shopper. September to Christmas was busiest, she noted, and having never worked a sumâ€" mer she hopes it picks up from an early spring slow down.
