"It's This Or Do Housework!"

Meet Judith Brodnicki. She is a local resident of Omaha and a graphic artist. She currently works at Offutt AFB preparing graphics for use in classroom training, as well as part time at Village Stationary in Countryside Village (adjacent to String of Purls) preparing ads, invitations, and other stationary items. She is often the creative source behind String of Purls logos, advertisements, and mailings.

She started knitting in 4-H...sometime around seventh grade! Losing interest in stright needles, she dropped the hobby for several years. She picked it back up when she took Becky's sock knitting class at String of Purls. Between socks and circular needles, she was hooked! She's been knitting ever since. Of course, then she took a yarn dyeing class and was instantly hooked on that as well... She dyes yarn, she knits socks, she designs patterns...she does it all but the cleaning! And who could blame her? We're so happy to be able to share her passions with you!

Check out this beautiful "Summer Sunner" pattern using King Tut yarn. Many of her sock patterns are for sale in the store. Be sure to check out the “Socks” pattern binder next time you visit. If you want to try socks but are not sure where to start, Judith's Sock Queen Guide is perfect. It walks you through the process "step by step" with color diagrams. It's available as a PDF download on our website. Do you have a child or grandchild graduating or heading off to college in the fall? Just in time is the "Go Team! Pillow" pattern. What better project to take with you to the Stitch N'Pitch event at Rosenblatt Stadium.
