About a half a year ago, I made the amazing leap to become a full time knitting teacher and knitwear designer. It’s been an crazy ride with some pretty bendy learning curves. My plan for starting slow did not work (not complaining), so I had to scramble to get my systems in place. In the last six months I’ve:
– Finished 10 sweaters, 2 shawls, 2 cowls, 1 hat and 1 wrister design for magazine & book publication
– Taught at 5 knitting shows
– Taught at 3 knitting guilds
– Taught at 2 knitting shops
– Attended 2 trade shows
– Taught 1 online webinar
and a partridge in a pear tree . . .
Here’s some things I’ve learned about working from home (drum roll please)
