In September we are featuring Rose Marie Aronsson as our artisan of the month. Rose Marie makes lovely and practical to use stitch markers so you'll find a sample of her goods in your package if you place an order in September!*
1- When
did you learn to knit and/or crochet and who taught you?
I learned to knit in school and to some extent from my
grandmother, I didn't keep up with it at that point though and forgot about it.
After my grandma died and I realized I had no-one to knit me socks again I
decided to learn so I contacted a LYS and learned the basics from them and the
rest on Youtube.
2- When/how
did you get into designing stitch markers?
I decided to make my own stitch markers cause I felt the prices
for the ones I found were a bit steep when you have to pay a lot for shipping
as well since I live in Sweden. To begin with I only made them for my self but
then I decided to try and sell them. And it worked :)
3- What is
your favorite fiber/weight yarn to work with?
Well I don't work with yarn in my business but when knitting I
mostly use fingering weight yarn.
4- What
are you designing now (that you can tell us about)?
I'm planning some new sets for Halloween and I'm
always thinking of new color combinations for the shop.
Part 2:
1- What is
your favorite word?
Amazing.
2- What is
your lease favorite word?
Don't have one that I can think of.
3- What
turns you on?
Pretty yarn and fiber and really good books.
4- What
turns you off?
Books that end the wrong way and tv-series that get cancelled in
the middle of a season.
5- What
sound do you love?
My dogs yawning.
6- What
sound do you hate?
Right now it's the high pitched bark from our puppy, it's almost
enough to pop your eardrums.
7- What is
your favorite curse word?
Not sure I use more than the f-word.
8- What
profession other than yours would you like to attempt?
Not sure but I would love to work with animals.
9- What
profession would you not like to?
Deli-counter in shops, I have a problem with certain smells and
raw fish is one of them.
10- If
heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the
pearly gates?
I prefer to think of it as Valhalla and then it would be
something along the lines of "Here's your mead, come on in and join the
party"
