Back in 2009 I started this blog. You can see the first post here. I didn't quit my job until March of 2010. I've now been a full time professional knitter for a little over 2 years. I have learned a lot during this time and had a good time doing it.
I've had several comments about the improvement in my writing skills. I didn't even know when I started the blog that I like to write!
I've spoken at a number of events, developed many hours of teaching material, taught more frequently and tested selling products and patterns at several events.
I collaborated with another designer on a plus size pattern collection that will be published soon.
I established a professional group for knitters here in Toronto which has been a great deal of fun and has allowed me to learn about the business from an amazing group of knitters.
