unhinged knitter
tonks, so named for her naturally pink hair, has a serious yarn fetish. but we already knew that! now she also has a podcast, in which she will talk about the joys of knitting, using fiber to cope with mental health issues, document her rather insane journey to a walk down the isle of a knitted wedding and rant about poorly writ knitting patterns. it should be noted that she swears. like a sailor. ;)
episode 4, in which we ignore tonks's sickly voice to discuss the refurbishing of a spinning wheel.

tonks shares a bit about the power of the stash, as written in her not quite published book, and talks about the possibility of a podcast parody concept about traveling on greyhound buses and bringing glamor back into some of the less than cleanly places through the power of both knitting and insanity.

My Profile
tonks
washington d.c.
tonks, so named for her naturally pink hair, has a serious yarn fetish and will covet any and all fibers possible for the simple joy of having them in her home. growing up in wisconsin with her equally fabulous mother taught tonks to appreciate knitwear at a very young age, although she loathes making hats and socks. tonks turned her abundant love of yarn into a home based business catering to the underground scene. she now lives just outside of d.c. with her fiber-bearing pets and a very, very patient and tolerant husband. you can find tonks playing with yarn and other toys of delight at www.weavingroses.com.
tonks is knitting a wedding! find out more by clicking on the link in the right hand side bar of her website!
