Your Host
Rebecca Danger believes that knitting is a lifestyle, not just a hobby. Since Rebecca really, really, really likes to knit, she started knitting rather obsessively and writing patterns of her original toy designs in February 2009. She really likes this since it means she gets to knit all day, tell the government that all of her yarn purchases are business expenses, and still be able to afford to feed her family. She also feels quite proud that all of that knitting in high school and college has lead to something more than just frowns and discontented looks from teachers.
Rebecca really appreciates all the support from her wonderful readers and students that allows her to keep knitting as her day job. She is also very happy that her customers like her creations and don’t think she is a complete wackado for knitting monsters all the time. Now she only wishes her non-knitting family would understand the monster obsession.
