Hello, there! My name is Shannon Squire. I’m what you might call a craftasaurus rex. In other words, I’ve never met a craft I didn’t like.

Once upon a time, I owned a knit shop in Portland, Oregon, and once upon another time, I designed knitting patterns. Now, I’m focusing on teaching the crafts I love: weaving, quilting, sewing, & embroidery, as well as loads of other crafty skills. One of my favorite things to do is to share my love of craft with others, and see that lightbulb of craftiness come on.

If you are a craft shop, you can reach out to chat about teaching by emailing shannonsq@gmail.com.

I have an admin business, Loose Threads, to help small businesses succeed. I know how hard running a small business can be, so reach out if you need someone to take care of the tasks that you always have to carry over from to-do list to to-do list! Just email me at shannonsq@gmail.com and we can chat about how we can work together!

You can hop over here to check out my knitting designs. Even though I no longer design, they are still available.

I look forward to getting to know you. Happy making,
