Show Notes for Episode 1: Welcome!
For this episode we were settled together on a couch and trying to throw ourselves boldly into the process. We start out a bit nervous, but get going after a bit.
Introductions:
Katie: Rora114 on Ravelry and Instagram. She and her husband live in a small condo with a fat cat, usually referred to online as OrcaKitty. She works for a nonprofit that helps other nonprofits get stronger. She’s passionate about knitting, a passable crocheter, and a new weaver. –
Sarah: PrairiePoppins on Ravelry, Imagined Landscapes on Instagram. She’s homeschooled both of her kids since the beginning but is very nearly done. She designs knitting patterns and teaches at a LYS called Knit 2 Scrap 2. Married to a university librarian from Germany and we have 2 teens. Soccer is a big part of our lives.
