It has been a long time!

Hello again! The world has changed so much in the last 6 months, lots of changes for me and everyone. The biggest one for me was the closing of Knitting Bee. Knitting Bee wasn't just a job or a shop to me, it was a part of my identity. It has taken me a few months to come to terms with the shop no longer existing. I will always be so greatful to Jami and all the Bees for all the years of friendship and love. With the closing of that chapter of my life I have begun a new position at another yarn shop. Close Knit in Portland will be seeing me twice a week! It is a very nice shop with tons of beautiful yarns and I love it so far. Come on over and visit.

This year I will also be focusing more on my designing and pattern writing. I love creating knitwear and I am excited about dedicating more time to designing. Who doesn't like playing with yarn! This year I have also made a commitment to growing as much food as I possibly can.I have always had a little garden but this year we stepped it up. I have also committed to buying as much of my food from local sources as I possibly can. This has led into the conversation at our house of possibly starting a mini farm. We have a big garden and chickens for now but are hoping to buy a few acres in the country in the near future! I look forward to sharing more of my adventures here with you all! Happy Adventures Trish
