Owned by the wonderful Danni (who has stocked our bags for many years now), when we asked her for a little background on the store she sent this lovely extract below:

When and how did you start knitting? 

I started knitting when I was six years old and basically have not put my needles down since. I went to the Waldorf School as part of the curriculum in first grade to learn. I sanded my first pair of knitting needles in shop class.  No one in my family knits so I figured things out along the way.  I  am originally from New York and I had great LYS (unfortunately it is not open) that really helped me along the way. Knitting has been such a gift in my life, helping me to reduce stress, get through some tough times and leading me to some amazing people!  I also sew and recently over the past year and half started spinning and loving the process. 

 Current WIP? 

Right now I am working on the Pressed Flowers by Amy Christoffers. I am using two of our custom colorways from  Spincycle First Light and La Bien Aimee Lisianthus. I just started a test knit for Tori YU using Farmer Daughter Fibers Bear Paw sock in Daddy State of Mind. 

How many Hide & Hammer bags do you own?

I have 15 Hide & Hammer bags. 

Fun fact- I had been a Hide and Hammer fan from the start. I have one of Nu’s original bags when the handles did not have snaps. :)
