My name is Erin, I’m a makeup artist in NYC!

What got you into knitting, how did you learn, how long have you been knitting?
My grandma taught me how to knit when I was about 8 or 9 I think. I use to do it all the time but there were some years between 12-22 where I kinda dropped it.  I used to tour with bands so I would find myself sitting bored in a van for hours and hours so at one Walmart stop I came across the craft section and thought to myself “I know how to knit!” - ever since then I’ve been back at it!
What is your favourite stitch?
I love basket weave, also moss stitch is really pretty too.  Kitchener stitch is really satisfying too…
What are your purls of wisdom?
My favorite knitting trick I think is going back a few rows and fixing stitches with a crochet needle.  I didn’t pick that trick up until later in my knitting life and it’s so bloody handy.
Where do you like to knit?
I used to knit on the subway a lot, coffee shops, pretty much anywhere.  Moving vehicles is best.  If only I could figure out how to knit and read at the same time - I would never be bored again.
What do you like about knitting?
It’s really theraputic.  You can kind of turn off your brain and just go on autopilot and at the end of it you’ve made something!  I love a productive hobby.

KNIT FOR VICTORY

We first met Erin at a swanky party in the Hamptons, imagine spotting this chic knitting by the pool, we were so stoked that we couldn’t resist going over to talk knit talk and tat talk. Knitting girl crush bloomed within seconds! Erin’s knitting tattoo took two 3 hour sessions to draw, Erin explained it was like a real still life art session, she had to dash to find the nearest yarn store, knit up a stitch or two so the dude could understand what she wanted. O Erin!

Erin is our very own pin-up girl, reminiscent of the famous Knit for Victory propaganda, at least in this picture. :)
