My title is V.P. of Marketing. I consider my first priority to encourage people who craft with yarn to engage with us in ways that will enhance their experience and feel more connected to Lion Brand. When did you start working at Lion Brand? My first day was January 2, 1996. On January 3, 1996, an article appeared on the front page of the New York Times Style Section entitled \u201cYounger Knitters Knit One Purl Two.\u201d The first line of the article read: \u201cKnitting, an activity that faded during the 1970's and 1980's, is coming back, especially among younger people.\u201d This article marked the beginning of a renaissance in the field of yarn crafting. I considered this an immensely fortunate sign ( at a time when people hesitated to knit in public) and knew I had landed in the right place. What is your favorite thing about working at Lion Brand? Even when people don\u2019t necessarily agree with or understand the point of an initiative I believe in, they are willing to let me try it. What do you do when you\u2019re not working at Lion Brand? I spend time as much time as possible with my family. I do Yoga two to three times a week so I don\u2019t stiffen up completely and topple over. What is your earliest yarn memory? My mother\u2019s friend, Adele, taught me to knit when I was eight. I had trouble sitting still.
