Madelyn grew up watching her grandmother crochet and sew. A graduate from Thomas University with a degree in English, Madelyn learned to knit with her mom right here at the Fuzzy Goat. She sees knitting as a creative process that values a more sustainable approach to fashion. In her spare time, Madelyn also enjoys writing and photography, and her love of storytelling and eye for color lend themselves both to a love for knitting and her role with us our Design Maven.

Ladanya first learned to knit with a friend, but only knew the two main stiches for many years. After taking the Building Blocks series she gained the confidence to take on more challenging projects. She loves knitting lace patterns because they are nice and airy. She is looking forward to learning more techniques like Fair Isle and eventually making a sweater!

Diana has been knitting since elementary school and loves to say she'd much rather knit than do housework. She is a long-time friend of the shop she has knit lots our samples. 

Kit moved to a 62-acre farm in Grady County with her husband and daughter where they have been diligently renovating their farmhouse. Kit's grandmother taught her how to crochet when she was about 10 years old. Kit says; "At my husband’s urging, I revived my crocheting skills a few years ago. In a few short months I went from crocheting uneven, lopsided scarves to creating unique “rag” dolls and animals."
