Pamela Thomas
I started knitting in college, but life and career pulled me away from my hobby. Flash forward 30 years to 2016, I picked up my needles again when I found my old knitting stash in a clear plastic shoe box while cleaning and organizing after my father’s passing. Although I had forgotten how to knit I used YouTube video to relearn. Much to my surprise I found my knitting became an important part of my grieving process, helping me reflect and process the earth shattering experience of losing a parent. Since then I have officially “caught the bug” and am obsessed with all things fiber.
