My name is Bobbi Goodwine. I love to be creative. I have been knitting for 5 years now. My favorite items to knit are small projects like hats...the quirkier the better. I am a wife and mother of two. I am working as a physical therapist on a contingent basis untill my daughter is in school full time. So to fill my time, I started selling on Etsy in October of 2009 and have made two sales so far. Besides the two Etsy sales, I have made and sold dozens of items for friends, neighbors and family. It was my friends and family that encouraged me to start selling online. I love custom orders because I can involve my customers in the creative process, so the item will be exactly what they want.

I try to organize my knitting supplies into clear bins, so I can find them easily. As for my work space, I usually knit at night after the kids are in bed in my living room. I use this time to knit and catch up on the ever growing list of movies and TV shows on my DVR. My home is smoke-free and pet friendly.

KnitBerry.com website started 2 years ago with primary focus on handmade knitwear for children. Many people saw what I have made for my little kids and wanted me to make them the same thing. But I also had a passion to make stylish accessories for women. That is what I am primarily making now and of course I cannot forget about the kids so I design fun hats and make outfits as special orders. I knit just about anywhere - at home, in the car (while my husband is driving), while I wait for the kids to get off school, on vacation... I knit when I get inspired, and that can happen just about anywhere, so I always make sure to bring my knitting needles, and a notebook, just in case I need to sketch a design while it's fresh in my head.

My favorite needles to use are the circular needles. Many people ask me why do I use two "needles on wires" and it is because it is easier to measure the knitted item. It is also easier on my hands, because on straight needles the knitted fabric seems to weigh down on my wrists. Lately, because of so many projects, my hands have been suffering. I am trying to limit my time knitting and that also means choosing most meaningful projects to make, since I can only make so many. My designs come from intense research of fashion and seasonal trend and color. I pick my favorite designers, which for this Fall 2009 season are Marc by Marc Jacobs and Chanel. I then decide what type of hat or scarf would go with their runway outfits, and that's how I create my items. Hope you enjoy wearing them as much as I enjoy making them!
