Crafter Bio: Christa Specht

Christa Specht, age 24, is addicted to knitting. She has been knitting for as long as she can remember, and has enjoyed knitting shirts of her own design for about 10 years. In addition to clothing, Christa has also been knitting home accessories such as cotton dishcloths, dishtowels, and potholder sets, and crocheting hats and gloves. She uses mostly acrylic yarns so that her sweaters and T-shirts are all machine washable and dryable. Everything is original with quality, comfort and style in mind!
