Xandy Peters has visited her aunt and uncle at the Northwood Inn Bed & Breakfast in Ocean City for almost her entire life.
Xandy Peters at the Northwood Inn on Thursday as she prepares for a weekend class.
The 26-year-old industrial designer and Pratt Institute graduate always found inspiration in the many faces of Ocean City — enough so that she designed four knitting patterns that reflect a place she loves.
Peters will be at the Northwood on Saturday and Sunday teaching a class how to knit her "Atlantic Ocean Cowl," "Boardwalk Wrap," "Seashells Shawl" and "Ferris Wheel Shawl."
At the same time, Myra Rubin will set up a temporary store featuring hand-dyed yarns from her Mount Holly shop, Woolbearers.
Rubin will sell her high-end luxury yarns 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday (Nov. 7) and 10 a.m. to noon Sunday (Nov. 8).

The public is invited to stop by, to shop for yarns, knitting supplies and needles, and to meet Rubin and Peters.
Copies of Peters' book, "Jersey Shore Knits at the Northwood Inn," which includes patterns for her four Ocean City designs and recipes for four breakfast favorites from innkeeper Marj Loeper, also will be for sale. Other knitting patterns will be there.
Marj runs the inn with her husband, John Loeper.
