Description
On The Guest: Shelley Brander is, in short, the queen of a knitting empire. What started as a hobby turned into Loops, a local yarn shop, then a booming e-commerce business, and eventually a worldwide knitting summit and brand. Alongside her love of knitting is the love of spreading the idea that anyone can make a living doing what they love. She spreads that message as a TEDx speaker and bestselling author of her book, Move The Needle.
