Meet the Staff: Robyn

String of Purls opened its doors on November 1st 2003. Robyn was one of the original proprietors. When asked "How did you find String of Purls?" She replied, "It found me." Robyn has always lived in Omaha and is a loyal member of the community. She would like to see more people knitting everywhere -- at restaurants, movies, sporting events, parks, etc. She enjoys gardening, reading, and travel.

Robyn learned to knit in junior high school from her babysitter. She finds knitting can be relaxing and challenging, and she always has a "social" knitting project going as well as a more complicated project. She enjoys stitch challenges to color work. As for favorite yarns, that can change daily. At the time of this "interview" she was addicted to Kidsilk Haze (lovingly referred to at the store as "Cracksilk Haze"). The best project she ever completed was an entrelac skirt that started out as a top!

When asked the "Guilt-Level of Her Stash Size," Robyn answered, "7!" However, she will be an "empty nester" this fall, so will have a lot more time for knitting!
