🙋🏻‍♂️ 🙋🏻‍♂️ 🙋🏻‍♂️  I’m Chad. 

I’m an American currently living in Canada. I am lucky to have lived in many cool places including New York, LA and Vermont. My life has been one fun adventure after another. I’ve worked as a Broadway Stage Manager, I’ve run a marathon and I’m an ordained Interfaith Minister. But of all my life experiences, knitting is my favourite. It’s what makes me happy. It’s where I find inner peace. 

It all started when I randomly won a knitting basket at a raffle in LA. It sat in my apartment for weeks until finally one night I searched “how do I knit” on YouTube. I was intrigued by a British girl with a fun accent and sparkly gray nails. She inspired me to grab the needles and yarn and get started. So I did. And I’ve been hooked ever since.  

I am fortunate to have worked at The Knitting Loft here in Toronto. Working at TKL catapulted my knowledge of yarn, designers, patterns and resources. I spent most of my time at TKL educating and inspiring customers, which I LOVED!!! But the coolest part was watching people light up when they started believing that they actually could knit that sweater or conquer that shawl. 

Helping people discover their own inner brilliance is one of the greatest gifts knitting has given me. Offering others guidance, enthusiasm and support, while having a genuine interest in what’s important to them, has the power to transform a person in ways that go far beyond knitting. And this is what I’m all about.
