However, Janie's mother plans a knitting business where she will handknit sweaters with girls names on them which she will send to a specialty store. After making a whole heck of a lot of sweaters, Janie's family is able to move into a new apartment in a better school district, where the kids are all varyingly rich. Fortunately Janie's mother is planning to buy Janie better clothes, but the man at the specialty store refuses Janie's mom's sweaters when he can find a cheaper source, which cancel's plans for new clothes. Janie offers to wear the unsold names sweaters, something very awkward, claiming that they are her middle names, until the family can make more money. |
