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…”

One day my log will have something to say about this.

Way back on leap day Pete and I took a 2 day trip up through Washington, guided by an itinerary of Twin Peaks related stops.  It was awesome! Besides all the Lynch nerdery involved, it was also a fun way to see tons of gorgeous places all over the great pacific northwest.  I love OregonContinue reading “One day my log will have something to say about this.”
