About Me
Hi, I’m Meaghan! I’m an unapologetic knitter!
And I bet you are, too!
I'm anything BUT unapologetic in my life outside of knitting. "Sorry" is definitely in my wheelhouse and I use if often. I WAS born in Canada, after all.
But when it comes to knitting? Forget about it!
I believe that knitting is an art form that should be nurtured. I’ve heard many-a-knitter share my own sentiment: they feel guilty for knitting on the sofa while their family members watch movies, walk the dog, do some chores; anything that would distract from knitting. But I hope I can encourage you to tune out all of that ‘noise’ and continue on the incredible journey that is Knitting. You are creating something that can last a lifetime and it takes time.
Just knit. No apologies necessary.
Here’s some (fun?) facts about ME:
I love to laugh, often giggling at my own jokes or my rambling inner-musings. In my podcast you’ll often find me giggling at myself as I try to find the right words to explain a concept.
I married my best friend and high school sweetheart (for reals!), often referred to simply as “The Hubbs” (you’ll find he has a pair of socks named after him). We have two fur-babies, Moo and Kallie (we lost our beloved Zoey in April, 2022 and her sister Peaches in February 2024), both rescue chihuahua mixes who are EXTREME cuddlers.
I love pizza. And beer. And Doritos (the original Nacho Cheese).
I don’t love chocolate. I know, I know…
I love love love movies. Admittedly I’m not well versed in all the classics but I’m a total Marvel movies fanatic (Phases 1-3, thank you!) and will watch the Harry Potter series multiples times in a year (so much so that I’ve had to re-buy a few discs because they wore out).
I am never satisfied with my hair style. I love it for a month or two and then want to change it up so you’ll see a wide range of hair styles throughout my pattern collection. The same goes for my logo. It gets a refresh every year or two.
I am a largely self-taught knitter (I have taken some advanced classes so I can’t proclaim I’m entirely self taught) who started out with a little booklet from the craft store and some acrylic yarn. From there the obsession began!
Because of my love of movies - I tend to create “TV knitting” designs; much of what I create is non-fussy and can be knit quite easily while parked in front of your favorite binge-worthy series. Classic stitch patterns, classic shapes, approachable techniques.
I am a complete knit-enabler - just ask anyone who asks me if this skill is “too hard” for them. NOPE! I believe YOU can knit ANYTHING!
And last but not least: I LOVE knitting. It’s what I want to do when I wake up, what I’m sad I have to stop doing to sleep, and what I want to encourage everyone to try in their lifetime. I can proudly share that I’ve helped the Hubbs become a knitter and have even taught my Mum to knit (and she’s addicted now, too).
So grab your yarn and needles and join me!
