Lisa Gentry already holds the title for fastest crocheter in the world and wants the fastest knitter title, as well. I spoke with Lisa this week.
There are certainly perks to writing for a living—working at home, living creatively, knitting at work…;o) But, my favorite is meeting people I’ve admired for a long time.
Needless to say, it’s thrilling.
A couple of weeks ago, I met (via email) a person I’ve admired for a while—Lisa Gentry. She’s been on several needle-work shows and is a successful designer. I wrote an article about her a few weeks ago, and lo and behold—she contacted me!
Lisa is a soft-spoken, classy, and modest woman. She’s a fabulous designer, in addition to being the race-car star of the yarn arts.
Needless to say, I was thrilled.
Lisa informed me that she was going to try to obtain the Guinness Book of World’s Records’ “fastest knitter” title; she already holds the “fastest crocheter in the world” title. She gave it a shot Monday and succeeded. However, there was a slight glitch with the video camera, and it won’t be officially recognized.
I’m not worried. She’ll try it again in late February. And she’ll succeed. She’s a great person, and she deserves it. I wish the best for Lisa, and truly hope she pulls it off once more.
Needless to say, I’ll be thrilled. Again.
