In actuality, she met me, as I was getting my shoes shined and knitting. I&#8217;m very glad to say that even though she&#8217;s a resident of Chicago, she visited me two weeks ago! She was in Seattle for work, and made the trip up to Vancouver to visit with some friends &#8211; myself included.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We had a great visit over lunch at The Foundation (a great vegetarian restaurant on Main Street) and she even wrote an article for the <strong>Chicago Examiner<\/strong> about me! Needless to say I&#8217;m thrilled at the piece and thought I&#8217;d share it with you all as I couldn&#8217;t have said it better myself. Here&#8217;s the link to the article and also Amy&#8217;s contact information. She&#8217;s a great writer and even greater knitter. You&#8217;ll definitely want to follow her articles and friend her on Ravelry!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.examiner.com\/article\/it-takes-balls-to-knit-entrepreneur-steve-malcolm-proves-it?cid=db_articles\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2475\" style=\"border: 3px solid black\" title=\"DSC02184\" src=\"https:\/\/ittakesballstoknit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/DSC02184-300x282.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"282\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.examiner.com\/article\/it-takes-balls-to-knit-entrepreneur-steve-malcolm-proves-it?cid=db_articles\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><em>IT TAKES BALLS &#8230;<\/em><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Here&#8217;s Amy&#8217;s blog and info &#8230;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Fiber Friend<br \/>\nBlog:\u00a0 http:\/\/thefiberfriend.blogspot.com<br \/>\nChicago Examiner: http:\/\/www.examiner.com\/knitting-in-chicago\/amy-kaspar<br \/>\nfacebook: The Fiber Friend<br \/>\ntwitter:\u00a0 @TheFiberFriend<br \/>\nEtsy:\u00a0 TheFiberFriend<br \/>\nRavelry:\u00a0 TheFiberFriend<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Hugzzz \ud83d\ude0e<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While I was in Chicago for VKL in October, I met a great lady named Amy Kaspar.
