A Conversation with JC Briar
Listen now
Description
Join me for my first interview show—a visit with knitting instructor, designer, author, and now improv quilter, JC Briar. JC was the technical editor for my cabling newsletter, Twists and Turns, as well as the editor for two of my knitting books. We taught together at Stitches and on a Craft Cruises knitting cruise to Alaska. She is the author of the handy guide Charts Made Simple and the mastermind behind Stitch Maps knitting chart software. We talk about her journey from computer programmer to knitter to improv quilter, what inspires her, and how she channels her unique perspective into her creative expressions.
