💙 'The perfect journey' for Heather and we want it to be for you too!

💬 Steph chats with Heather, the creator of Arthur's Knitting Business, about knitting, teaching, and entrepreneurship.... Heather's business focuses on providing kits and educational resources to help people learn to knit. 

🧶 She's on a mission to remove the misconception that knitting is too difficult by providing all the necessary tools, materials, and learning resources you need.

💪 Heather's advice to new handmade business owners is to "just go for it, believe in yourself, do it" and believe in yourself. The worst that can happen is being wrong, which is only an opportunity to learn and improve.
