The Cowboy Crochets In Fairview Oklahoma
Shorty Rose, a 66 year old former rodeo rider and railroad worker in Fairview, Oklahoma, gains fame for hand embroidery and crocheting. He sells most pieces before finishing them, prioritizing large projects like a 60 by 108 inch tablecloth and claiming blue ribbons at Major County, state, and Seattle fairs. Rose jokes about being a man doing “woman's work,” fondly recalling beginnings on the job as a drawbridge operator and noting he can embroider a tablecloth in about three weeks working evenings and weekends. He plans to sell the finished piece for around 50 dollars, just above material costs.
