Yarn is my blank canvas for creating beautiful and functional pieces.
In the dreary Cincinnati winter of 2012, in between working odd hours and trying to make career connections and friends in a new city, Julia found her mom's old knitting needles and instruction books in her apartment. With her mom's instructions coming back to her and hours of practice on her own, she made a lopsided scarf for her best friend for Christmas. Julia has been furiously knitting and purling ever since, perfecting her stitches and designs, and always looking for new and exciting ones to challenge her. A year later, a strong yearning to crochet a hat couldn't be shaken, so with the help of a new friend, Julia learned the basics and has continued to seek new crocheting stitches and designs.
In 2014, Julia facilitated a beginners knitting class and donation to Cancer Family Care, Inc. of Cincinnati, Ohio through her job. Currently, she teaches private and group knitting and crocheting lessons locally in Cincinnati, and loves making custom items for friends and family members. Julia comes from a long line of exceptional knitters on her mother's side and is thrilled to contribute to the family pastime. She is grateful for the connections, patience, and joy that needle arts have given her over the past few years. She loves making scarves, hats, mittens, blankets, and other fun items out of yarn. Next goal: a whole sweater! |
