ERICA MENHART began crocheting in college for fun. This past July she has expanded her interests by learning how to knit. She feels she is knitting alot lately, but she has no preference of one over the other, she enjoys both styles. Currently she is attending graduate school for occupational therapy while also working at the boutique.

TAMMY HALLER has always enjoyed the fiber arts and was introduced to the art of crocheting as a child. As an adult she has ventured into other areas of the fiber arts including wet felting, 3-D sculptural needle felting, needle felted applique, kumihimo braiding, spinning using a drop spindle and most recently knitting.

CAROL D. PANZA learned to knit at an early age from her Mother. Although she had knit using both English and Continental techniques, her preference is to knit continental. Carol looks forward to sharing her enthusiasm for Continental knitting with new or new to continental knitters.

EDYE VANDYKE is a retired teacher who started to knit in college. Several years later, during the scarf craze, she resumed knitting. This gypsy-at-heart loves color, texture, linen yarn and knitting 2 piece outfits. She is a stickler for proper fit.
