Jessica Potasz from Mama In a Stitch

Jessica Potasz From the time I was a little girl, I have always enjoyed many forms of art. I graduated from the University of Colorado, Boulder with a Business degree but continued to enjoy painting and a bit of sewing. However, I have truly found a passion for knit and crochet. While staying home with my daughter after a time of working in the business world and then teaching, I found that I had the opportunity to get back into art. It was only fairly recently, in 2013, that I became intrigued with knitting and crocheting and learned the skills by watching online videos and tutorials. Eventually, after looking for patterns of something I envisioned, and not finding them, I began to create my own designs. For Christmas of 2014, I knit my brother a pair of fingerless gloves and posted the pattern to my blog shortly thereafter. This was the beginning of my designing and blogging, which has been so much fun! I truly believe that even the easiest of patterns can have a beautiful impact. It is a joy for me to share patterns and also hear and learn from other knitters and crochet enthusiasts.
