Hi! I'm Tara and I'm the Blonde Chicken behind all this yarn! You can read more about how I got this Thanksgiving, 4 years ago, just after the big dinner. My mom wanted to learn to knit.
I pulled my knitting from the bag, along with the yarn and needles I’d brought for her, and there, snuggled up together on the couch, I taught her how to knit, step by simple step.
Since then, I’ve taught many friends to knit. On couches, in cars, over the phone.
I’ve also made many friends online that are now asking me to teach them.
But how… how could I bring the couch experience to you…
