Meet The Team
I am primarily a knitter, but I learned to spin during COVID and I love it!
It is always changing, but right now I'm really enjoying String Turin; a gorgeously soft cashmere tweed.
Definitely a process knitter! Give me miles of garter stitch and reruns of Schitt's Creek and I'm a happy girl.
I am the one thing in life I can control. - Lin-Manuel Miranda.
running a small business, raising 2 teenages boys, or mixing up cocktails with friends.
Knitting is my focus, with sweater knitting being my passion, but I also do some macrame. Coming up with my own designs and modifications for the perfect fitting sweater is my forte. The more math the better!
I love them all! It really depends on the project and I like trying all the new yarns that come through the store. Lately for colorwork sweaters my go to yarns have been Spincycle and Freia Fine Handpaints. One is a striping yarn and the other is an ombre. Both have amazing color combos.
Definitely a product knitter with a capital P. I want all the sweaters and I want to wear them now! I knit with every spare moment I have. My hands are never idle.
Always knit a swatch to check your gauge. And wash your swatch too! Most patterns will say some version of "save time by checking gauge" and it's really true. Swatch always.
Chasing after my little boy or playing a new board game.
While I'm most often found knitting, crochet was my first fiber art obsession. I also love punch needle and frame loom weaving.
I am pretty smitten with the entire line of Brooklyn Tweed yarns! Their wools are amazing to work with (not to mention wear), plus they’re located here in Oregon. I also knit a lot with JMF Patagonia Organic Merino - it's my favorite sweater yarn, especially when paired with Spincycle Dyed in the Wool.
Definitely a process knitter. No matter the circumstance, no matter my mood, knitting is my most effective form of decompression - almost a meditation. It doesn’t matter what I’m making, as long as my hands are moving.
“I want to stay as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you see all kinds of things you can't see from the center.” - Kurt Vonnegut
Busy being a mama, or off camping in our van and exploring the PNW.
Knitting.
I've been into hearty yarns lately and Ireland's Studio Donegal, Soft Donegal yarn is a lovely worsted weight tweed.
Definitely a process knitter. I like to enjoy every stitch.
I like to start the day with this question: "What would love have me do today?" - Jack Kornfield
Reading, cooking, hiking/walking, hanging with my husband and dogs.
Knitting. Also a fledging weaver on my 4 harness loom.p>
So many favorites! Currently: Isager, Rosy Green Wool and Juniper Moon Farm. I tend to enjoy a finer gauge for knitting and lean toward a more “natural” or rustic fiber…Unless of course its silk or linen which I also love!
Definitely a process knitter!
Again, so many! However, I do like this Chinese Proverb: “Keep a green tree in your heart and perhaps a singing bird will come.”
wishing I were! Presently consumed in the midst of a huge makeover of our new home! I love playing with our horses and savoring the beauty of Nature.
