Episode 147: James N Watts

posted by: Amy Small

Today on the show I have James N Watts, musician and knitwear designer extraordinaire. From growing up in a creative household, becoming a musician (and playing violin and recorder!), to finding knitting and embracing that absolutely perfect haircut – we cover it all. I can’t wait for you to hear all about this creative journey and maybe most excitingly, James’s plans for the future, which involve all of us knitters! Let’s dive in.

I already loved James but yup, that grew after this interview! Someday I will knit Earth and Air...it's intimidating to this brioche beginner. BUT SOMEDAY. Support James and learn more at the links below:

Today on the show I have Anne LaFollette! After years working in the corporate world and an unexpected layoff, Anne turned to the art supplies collecting dust in her basement. Fast forward a few years and she is now a surface pattern designer and teacher with a thriving business. AND if you're wondering just what surface pattern design is - we are going to get into it in all the details - because it turns out, it's a really big thing! Let's dive in. 
How incredibly inspiring is Anne?! Who's ready for a trip (post covid!) to Paris to follow her around?! Me me me me, ha! Learn more about Anne and dive into one of your courses at the links below.
