About

Hi friends! My name is Meredith and I’m so excited you stopped by!

Why so sheepish you ask?

Well, I’m the “quiet girl”.  The girl who speaks when spoken to, and even then it’s a stretch. My face turns red a lot (I usually blame it on the Texas heat…even in the winter). I'm also pretty self-concious about my appearance. I'm super tall, 5'10'', and I've never really loved what I see in the mirror. But thankfully that is slowly changing...

I discovered knitting at a time in my life when I felt completely silent, when I felt nothing I said or did mattered. One day, I was walking around Barnes and Noble (one of my favorite places!) when I spotted The Friday Night Knitting Club. It was several years after the book’s release, but I had heard good things about it, and decided to pick it up. When I finished the book all I wanted to do was knit, but I didn’t know how! So I went to Michael’s, got some yarn, needles, and sat down in front of YouTube searching for knitting videos. After overcoming the initial frustration of dropping stitches and tangling my yarn, I knit my first scarf.

And I never looked back!

Knitting has changed my life in a way I never thought possible. It has given me confidence and a feeling of accomplishment.  I decided to open up a shop on Etsy to sell some of my creations too!

I can hardly believe it, but I'm about to complete my senior year of college! These four years have flown by so quickly. I am studying English and journalism in Dallas, TX. I am so grateful to have the opportunity to study something I love, even on the days when I feel completely overwhelmed.

What this blog is about:

I like to use this blog to post about what inspires me in the world of knitting, my current projects, my Etsy shop Sheepish Knitting & Crochet, and the fun, creative things that keep me sane when I stress about college and my future, which is all the time. :-)
