Originally from the north metro area of Atlanta, she began art school in 2005 about the same time she decided to give up smoking (she likes to keep her husband on his toes). She picked up knitting to help her not strangle those around her and discovered a heretofore unknown passion for fiber. She launched her business in 2007 and her yarns, fibers and stitch markers are now carried in yarn shops across the globe. She began spinning in March of 2007 and just never stopped. She can usually be identified in the wild because she'll have a spindle and some silk out no matter where she is. Chip
