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 14, in which we meet "daughter judy", a spinning wheel in the process of being refurbished.

My Profile

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!
