In this special episode of Knit A Spell, I’m pulling back the curtain to share my story—how I became your magical knitting host! From my childhood fascination with witchcraft (hello, homemade spell books and Halloween witch costumes) to nearly 20 years in the knitting industry, this episode covers it all.

This vlog-style episode dives deep into my journey as a magical maker, sharing the twists and turns that brought me here and how I continue to blend knitting and magic. Whether you're a new fan or a long-time listener, there’s something for everyone!

📌 What You'll Learn:

- My magical beginnings, inspired by Hocus Pocus and The Craft.

- How I learned to knit (thanks to my mom and a college friend!) and how it became my career.

- Behind-the-scenes stories from working at a local yarn shop, competing in The Fiber Factor, and being Creative Director at Skacel.

- The creation of Light From Lantern and the birth of Knit A Spell, inspired by my partnership with James Divine.

- 🐾 Plus, meet Pancakes, my Chihuahua and unofficial co-host! 🐾
