Q&A with Katie B., of Knerdy Knitter
What made you decide to open your business?
I opened my business after the encouragement of some friends and because it provides income while still being flexible enough that I can take care of my family when they need me.
What made you choose the name Knerdy Knitter?
I chose Knerdy Knitter because I am a bit of a dork and my friends all try to say I am part nerd. My name starts with a “K” so we came up with Knerdy Knitter. It was either that or something llama related but I didn’t want people to think I only used llama wool, so I stuck with Knerdy Knitter for lack of confusion.
What’s the most important thing you want people to know about your products?
The most important thing to know is the business is just me. All of my products are hand-made and made-to-order. I don’t have stock anywhere. With two kids and two dogs it just isn’t possible to store projects.
What types of products do you make?
I make baby blankets, winter hats, scarves, ear warmers, boot cuffs, afghans, wine bottle cozies, and coffee cup cozies. I even knitted the shawl for my daughter’s colonial wax museum at school.
