One of my favorite things about the fiber community is the fact that in so many ways, we still ARE a community. There are big companies with big money, yes, but it still one of the few industries left that still supports small, family-run businesses. I read about Knit Denise in Vogue Knitting (if memory serves correctly) and enjoyed reading their story and browsing their helpful tips and tutorials. Even their manufacturer is a US-based family man, and one of the few people left in the United States who knows this business. Enjoy!
