Hortense, the knit and crochet pattern designer behind Knitting with Chopsticks, unexpectedly started her business in 2018, never anticipating it'd become her full-time job. Five years later, designing is her full-time job, plus she hosted her first crochet summit last year, is hosting her first knitting summit February 1-4, 2024, and runs a membership community for knitters and crocheters!
Inside this episode, we talk about hating social media, the beauty of running a business using blogging (and free patterns), what it's like to host a summit (and what a summit is), and information about the upcoming Knit Your Wardrobe Summit.
We were so busy talking that I forgot to mention it inside the episode - the class topic that I'm presenting on is Making Garment Adjustments Using Your Actual Gauge!
