Notes

Samantha is an avid knitter who enjoys the leap of faith it takes to knit cables. A friend taught her how to knit over 20 years ago. She finds knitting helps to fill time when traveling and helps her self-soothe when stressed or anxious. Samantha has also taught others to knit and enjoys seeing their faces light up when their patterns transform!
