About me

Hello, I’m Pamela Grossman, your host. So you want to know a bit about me and my little business here?

Well, I have two sons: Sam (9/9/99) and Eli (11/23/02). I’ve been knitting since I was a young girl, and I’ve taught many people to knit. Though I am a teacher by profession, I’ve been a full time SAHM since Eli was born. After years of teaching students from preschoolers to college-age, I’ve set aside my MA in Deaf Education for a while to focus on my own children.

Eli has been cloth diapered from birth and I started making wool soakers for him. I showed off my very first kool-aid-dyed soaker (from the Fern and Faerie free pattern) at the MotheringDotCommune diapering forum and was overwhelmed with a deluge of orders. My soaker was named a “Wooly Wonder” by diapering guru Heather Sanders (www.thediaperhyena.com) and that’s when the fun began.

After a cross-country move slowed down my ability to produce custom soakers, I turned my interest to developing and teaching my own patterns. And now, with my own small business, I plan to continue doing just that. I’ve added forums to my site because the only thing more fun than making wool soakers for your babe is chatting about the creative process and showing them off to others! I hope you enjoy the community we’re creating here.
