SNEAK PEEK STARRING:
AMBER KENNEDY
|
|
Our last newsletter gave you a sneak peek of this beautiful and original design! But now, we'd like to focus on the talents and skills of our talented employee,
Amber Kennedy
!
Amber started knitting early 2018 and instantly fell in love with it. It has become a passion for her and she loves playing with all the possible color combinations. Her knitting skills have progressed rather quickly and she enjoys knitting tops, hats, and shawls. Amber is originally from the PNW, though she grew up moving
|
|
around the world. She came back to the PNW for college and is beginning to plant some roots here. When Amber started knitting she was working on her doctorate degree in occupational therapy and knitting became a stress reliever for her. She recently designed her first shawl and has a lot of ideas for future designs.
For this spectacular shawl, she used two skeins of each color, (1) Rooster DK and (2) Twilight DK.
Look for the pattern,
Golden Night
, to be available on Ravelry soon.
