Enjoy a brief interview with Making / FAUNA sponsor Alana Dakos of Never Not Knitting:

Tell us how your company got started!

The Never Not Knitting yarn shop began with a secret 10 year old dream of mine. Owning my own cozy shop was always something that I wanted and was happy to finally see that dream realized last year when we opened our tiny knitting boutique and online store. When I leave my little shop in the evening I find myself staring in through the lit window at night for way too long just to see what it looks like to customers walking by. I have even spent time at the shop on a day I'm normally closed "just for fun". When I am not in my little shop, I miss it. I think about it and wonder how its doing. I love it and love being a shop owner.

What is unique about your company?

The Never Not Knitting shop truly contains a collection of everything unique and specialty! We focus on showcasing the work of independent artisans and makers from all over the world. We often collaborate with artists to produce special items just for our customers. It is my goal to stock items you may never see anywhere else.

Describe your perfect day.

My perfect day involves a cup of tea, a roaring fire, my current project and the company of good friends.

What's your favorite color?

Right now gray, mauve, eggplant and gold.

Thank you to Alana Dakos and Never Not Knitting for sponsoring Making / FAUNA!
