My most eventful quick trip to California

I flew down to California to visit my family four weeks ago, and flew back to Portland a few days later with a completely different life!

My 2023 wrap up… making & doing

I’ve thought of 2023 as Senior Year of the pandemic. Not because there’s any graduation or ending in sight, just because it was the fourth year, and I feel like we’ve all grown and changed so much since 2020, or Freshman Year. 2023 was a bit rough—it’s the year I finally got covid—and it’s alsoContinue reading “My 2023 wrap up… making & doing”

Want to see me being awkward on camera?  Well, now you can!  I was video-interviewed for Kimberly Golynskiy’s (aka 80 Skeins‘) travel-knitting blog, Around the World in 80 Skeins. She visited me at my home here in Portland, and then I took her out on the town to a food cart dinner and my neighborhood knitContinue reading “Interviews, studio photos, and nerding out with sales analysis…”
